Hungry, tired and heartburn.

So, Im not complaining.  Ok.  I am.  And I know I shouldn't be because Ive had it pretty easy so far.  Very little morning sickness, few aches and pains, but nothing really compared to what other women go through.  But suddenly, yesterday, Ive noticed that Im SOOOO hungry.  I dont want to over-eat (Ive been pretty good at eating smaller more often meals to prevent heartburn and stuff), but there doesnt seem to be an end to my hunger.  So now Im just hungry all day yesterday and today.  Also, the last 2 days Ive had heartburn (so much for me being hungry so I dont get heartburn).  2 TUMS and a can of Ginger Ale (thats always helped me prepregnancy) didnt work.  Just the Gum chewing, so now I look like a cow sitting at my desk burping up a storm (Im classy like that).  The other thing I noticed is that Im exhausted.  I havent felt like this since month 2 of the pregnancy. 

I dont know whats going on.  I mean, I know these are all common pregnancy issues, but its all of the sudden these 3 things.  I took an Iron supplement today along with my prenatal.  I figured that might be the issue with the sleepy thing.  I think I might be craving something and just not know what it is.  That could be why my body thinks its hungry.  Its hungry for something specific.  I dont know.  Any thoughts?

    Baby growth spurt?

    This. 

    Each time my LO hits a growth spurt, I'm hungry 24/7...and the mild heartburn I've been having, suddenly becomes "keep me up all night" heartburn.  Usually only lasts a few days and then I'm back to pg normal, but in the mean time, it stinks.
