Symptoms:Metallic Taste-Still having this when I eat (or drink) sweet things. Heartburn-Not fun in Saturday night, but other than that it was okay. Lower Back Pain-Has its good days and bad days. Seems to be worse right when I wake up so it must be aggravated by sleeping on my side.

Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In, but it's getting close (especially towards the end of the day!)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Running/Walking? I've got a 2 mile loop in my neighborhood that I've been walking. I need to get back into my weekend outings!
Looking forward to: Gator football season starts on Saturday!! So excited!! We are going to buy the nursery furniture this weekend because we have finally made our decision on the crib! Lots of fun stuff to look forward too!
