I feel bad for not posting anything in so long! I really haven't been doing anything of note, just moving, sleeping & playing with Bridgette.
Our move was fairly uneventful. We stayed & Dan's parents on the way. While there his Dad had a bbq (b/c Bridgette LOVES Papa Joe's hot dogs.) To preface this, before I left I went to lunch w/ Joan & got a chicken sandwich & it looked pink inside, but I realized it was just a vein in the chicken. Still gross, but it was cooked.
Well, he made hot dogs & chicken. I took some chicken and cut a small corner off of it & it looked slightly pink & it was kind of cold. I just thought to myself "Quit being paranoid!!" Well, I managed to get it down. Then I cut right through the middle of the chicken & it was totally RAW! I seriously almost vomited on the table. I was sitting right next to Joe & he gave me this look of, "why did you take a whole chicken breast and not even touch it?" Well I actually ran upstairs & threw up (my stomach was a bit weak before dinner anyways.) Later that night I told Dan's brother about the chicken & he said "Yeah, that happens all the time. He always undercooks meat and gets mad at me when I won't eat it!" So Joe probably thinks I'm a huge brat now.
I know that was a dumb story, but he didn't know I'm pregnant & I was super paranoid about getting listeria or e coli or something.
Other than eating raw chicken we're good though. We went through a rough patch with Bridgette, but after she sprouted her 4 molars in a week she's been a sweetie pie. She carries around the pictures of "her baby" (the ultrasound) and says it's a girl. We'll see.
I found a good Dr. here, I was actually trying to get into another Dr in the practice, but he was booked solid. The one I got is only 2 years out of his obgyn residency, and he's quite young, but I like him. He's very thorough and talks to me as if I were talking to Anne or a friend who's in the medical field. I actually had a UTI & he found strep B in my urine so I have to have an IV when I have the baby. I was also nervous that I became "sensitized" after my miscarriage (I'm Rh negative) but he had already run all the tests & said everything looked great (preemptively) which my old doctor wasn't usually on the ball like that. Hopefully I'll continue to like him & hopefully everything will be smooth sailing. I'm only 11 weeks, so I have a ways to go. He brought up the genetic testing, and I keep going back and forth in my mind b/c it's only 60-80% accurate. Any advice?
Sorry this post is getting so long-winded. I feel like I haven't talked to another girl about any of this well, because I haven't! Hopefully I'll make some friends soon. It does get a bit lonely, but luckily I'm really tired all the time so I just feel like napping, so I am not awake being bored, just dreaming about it!
It sounds like all of you are super busy, which is good. It's good to be busy, right? Joanie, I'm sure you'll make up for your mid-term grade. I'm positive you'll make a better grade in math than I made!
Bonnie, have you had any luck in the land hunt? Have you talked to Dan's real estate guy? Annie, you better make sure Haley dates her boyfriend for at least another semester before they talk of marriage (tell her I'll beat her kidney infected butt if she doesn't!!!)
Well, I'll shut up now. Write when you have time! Love & Miss you all!!!!
