Cracks me up to think of that movie while I'm pregnant -- so much of what the sardonic Juno observes about pregnancy is so hilarious, and so right. Today, I was thinking of her heartburn comment: "I have heartburn in my kneecaps!"Right now, that's how I feel since I seem to have entered into the portion of pregnancy where I get heartburn at the mere sight of food or drink. Thankfully, it's not terrible -- one Tums after eating usually does the trick, and I'm actually kind of fond of the Tums Smoothies. They're kinda like candy.
Still, it'd be nice to be able to eat an orange and not feel a tidal wave of stomach acid creep up my throat. And, I'd love some eggplant parmesan right now, but I'm avoiding marinara sauce like Charlie Sheen is avoiding rehab -- I fear that just giving red sauce a sideways glance might make my esophagus implode.
Ahhh, the joys of pregnancy!

I had only had tums smoothies and didn't realize the huge difference between those and regular tums. I went to get some a while back and bought the regular ones and they were so gross and chalky in comparison. I'm taller and 39 weeks, so I'm now at the point where my maternity shirts are working hard!
LOL, I loved that movie!
I had heartburn pretty much my entire pregnancy with Shoo - to the point that I sometimes went to sleep sucking on a tums. Yeah it was fun. One thing that worked really well was papaya. If you like it, it really helps with heartburn. (I hate the stuff, so it was just one more way Shoo tortured me while in utero.)
Ha ha... that movie was weird, but really funny. Glad you're able to see the humor in it now. =)
It happens to all of us - great movie.
I was promised that all the heartburn leads to a baby with a full head of hair. I ended up with 9 months of heartburn and a bald baby. Bleh :(
LOL...."I'm avoiding marinara sauce like Charlie Sheen is avoiding rehab..."
Perfect!
I ate so many Tums, all flavors, during pregnancy that I cannot even stand the smell of them now!
I have heartburn all pregnancy. Tums just aren't/weren't cutting it. With Miller, I got Zantac or something like that from the doctor. It made the 3rd trimester so much better. This time around I will be asking as soon as I get over the morning sickness.
Juno is a great movie and I love her take on pregnancy too. I have a feeling my shirts will be working hard with this one. I already feel like a whale.
I LOVE Juno! Those are some hilarious quotes!!
like Charlie Sheen is avoiding rehab LOL I love Juno too
yuk. hate reflux. when it reaches my knee caps, its over :-)
that movie totally cracked me up!!
I found that bananas helped with my pregnancy-induced heartburn. Plus papaya extract tablets work too and you can get them at GNC.
Love. Juno.
Tums Smoothies = Delicious.
I laughed so hard for some reason when you wrote the Charlie Sheen comment. Hope you have a good weekend!
so many parts of that movie cracked me up! and so right on point!
Love that movie!! I don't miss that heartburn at all!!
There is something about this post that really shows the writer in you. I just love the way these words flow!
At times here in bloggy-sphere I forget the other demensions of people. Today you reminded me of a deeper Jess. Great job!
....I was going to say broader Jess but given the pregnancy I figured I shouldn't. heehee ;-)
