We have successfully made it to the halfway point!
She is kicking and moving around quite a bit. ^.^
Usually when I am eating, or when I am laying down for bed. But, she also gets very active when I have gas or heartburn.. or if I am doing certain more active tasks. Not to mention, she has lots of moments throughout the day where she wakes up seemingly randomly. And, I am certain she probably is up during the night, but I don't notice it when I'm sleeping.
Emotionally, I am going through lots of mood swings.. it reminds me of PMS, but turned WAY up. I can burst into sobs over relatively small things... Like, Rofu told me to put a clean pair of underwear with his clean pants whilst he took a bath, and I agreed to do so. The next morning (which was yesterday/Tuesday the 11th), when he wanted them we couldn't find them.. he was kind of upset, and I got way upset because I couldn't remember doing anything ELSE with them except putting them with his pants, and felt like a failure as a supportive girlfriend/wife, and burst into tears. We ended up finding them stuffed way inside his pants, in the pantleg.. which was both a relief and kinda pissed me off.. that they had gotten so far down and that neither of us had looked harder for them..
And, I am very easily made depressed..
I am so not used to these mood swings. I've always been an emotional creature, but I was capable of focusing clearly and without emotions clouding the way I'd respond to something, even bad news.. but now.. o.o
Now I am very sensitive, easily feel attacked/offended, and can't seem to deal with it constructively when I try.
No family members, not even my MOM, called me on the my birthday (or even AROUND my birthday), and that caused me a miserable night.. I'm still all torn up over that.. I had tried to call her and one sister to find out what was going on, and didn't get ahold of anyone. (I don't know how to get ahold of my other sister, anymore, because I don't have a current phone number or address.) And no one knows I'm pregnant in my family, which i've been TRYING to tell them about since I found out months ago. It's like, I move to Germany and everyone in America suddenly can't be reached and doesn't bother trying to reach me. (Well, not EVERYONE, my best friend called me the day before, because she had the day off.. she didn't even have much money so we couldn't talk long, but she STILL called me to wish me a Happy Birthday and see how I was doing... and she's the only one who's sent me a birthday card as well.)
I will be glad when the mood swings are over... because I am incapable of solving or even just dealing with the little things constructively... let alone the big things (like, what's up with everyone in America!)..
Rofu was really sweet though! After the underwear/pants thing made me burst into tears and sobs, Rofu wrote me a note, folded it and told me to put it in my pocket, keep it around with me at all times, and if I ever felt sad or something, to take it out and look at it. And, on the note, he'd written:
"Don't forget that I love you, please.
- Dein Rofu" ('Your Rofu')
I've been keeping it with me ever since.
The baby makes me feel happy though, and I love it when I can feel her kicking and moving, even if she's enjoying kicking my bladder over and over again so I constantly feel like I need to pee.. I cannot wait to see his or her face when she is born! And, I feel like it is soooooo close to Feb/March already... I am so worried about being a good mom and kinda scared by the responsibility of having something being so completely dependant on me for everything, and so excited about taking care of this little life that has been growing inside me for the past 20 weeks.
Oh, and Rofu is really excited about our baby, too!
In the last 9 months I've been living here with him and watching him, he's gotten really close to a close friend's child (I think she just turned 2 a while back... or is about to turn 2 in the next months... i'm not sure, *Cry* she only started walking on her own a couple months ago or less, so I don't think she's 2 yet) and he's fed her, changed her diapers, gets all mushy when she wants HIM to hold her, or when she blows a goodnight kiss to him.. ^____^
And, of course, seeing it or hearing about it makes me beam.
So, that's an update on my pregnancy and my questionable mental health. ^.~

Eggnog contains raw eggs. And can get you sick with food poisoning. However, Salmonella (the food poisoning you'd get with raw eggs) can not transfer across the placenta. The vomiting etc. from salmonella CAN make you dehydrated and unable to keep food down which is THEN the concern to your baby's health.
Also, the CDC says that pasturized eggnog (made with pasturized eggs) has never been responsible for any outbreaks of salmonella.
The answer babycenter gives for "Is eggnog safe?"
is "Probably. But it's better to play it safe."
I figure FOR ME a little egg nog isn't going to be a big deal. I've drank it every year for holidays before I was pregnant and never got sick, plus I'm drinking the store brand non-raw egg kind.

Had MASSIVE paperwork and bloodwork done today, but not much else. My BP is doing fine and my first real check up is on Halloween. I've been assigned to a mid-wife and since my next check is at the 10 week mark, we should hopefully hear a heart beat! heart

Hello all. Sorry for having been out so long. Things have been crazy, and not just baby either. I'm at 29 weeks now and still freaking the midwives out since the baby's measuring at 30 and my uterus is still measuring six weeks ahead of where I am (at 34 weeks). That's been lots of fun. Otherwise, I'm still having a wonderful time with this pregnancy. Yeah, it's starting to get hard to breathe, stairs suck, and sleeping is now coming in 2 hour increments, but I know how lucky I am to have had no other complaints than those, so I'm happy. I hope the rest of you just starting out can have things as easy as I've managed to.
On a mostly unrelated note, I actually just got a job. Nothing like surprising the pregnant woman by offering her a position which starts December 5 when she's due January 6. I really think I'll like it and all, but I'm a little freaked out about the fact that my training is Nov 29-Dec 3 when i'll be like 34-35 weeks pregnant. Wouldn't be a big deal, but it's sitting down for 8 hrs a day, in a hotel in Chicago, with them providing meals (and I'm a vegetarian) and I live in Cincinnati. I'm going to see what I can do about getting them to let my honey come with me, but it really stinks. Guess I needed something in my life to balance all the good things coming.

Second OB appointment today and I did geat to hear the heartbeat. ^_^ My OB said that the heartbeat is strong and healthy (16?/min - I think it was 163). Also said that my uterus it growing "beautifully."
She's still a little concerned about my health (/dehydration), but I look lots better than I did at my first appontment.

Ugh, any ideas on this awful terrible heartburn? I didn't have it this bad with Walter - any time I eat pretty much anything, I get massive nasty heartburn.

p r i n c e s s Ugh, any ideas on this awful terrible heartburn? I didn't have it this bad with Walter - any time I eat pretty much anything, I get massive nasty heartburn. crying 15 weeks now... Almost halfway there! Dude, I feel your pain. LITERALLY xd At about 15 weeks I started having heartburn and I get it at the middle of the night, I wake up with it, I drink a single glass of milk and have four shortbread cookies and I get it. It's freaking terrible. I've just been living on Tums smooth dissolve peppermint. I highly recommend the mint flavored tums or rolaids because it cools the burning for awhile, while the medicine goes to work. I know people are going to recommend eating certain things, but seriously I can have sausage pizza and no heart burn, and then like I said the next day eat a turkey sandwhich and BAM heartburn. I do find that keeping my stomach good and full at all times on days when it's the worst (like when I wake up with it) tends to help a wee bit.
