Updates:
1) Headaches--almost every day. It drives me crazy. I try to avoid taking medicine although they "say" that Tylenol is safe. Most time I try to rest it off, but there are times when it's really unbearable.
2) Mood swings. I haven't been so moody through most of this time that I've been pregnant, but lately I have been. Of course, Mark's the only one who puts up with me.
3) I think I feel the baby! It's hard to explain, but I feel something at random times during throughout the day/night. It HAS to be him. It can't be gas because then I'd be farting all over the place haha (:
4) I'm going to be very bored soon. Bonnie goes back home to Palmdale tomorrow ): I love having her around, she keeps me busy & motivated. I'm not lazy when she's around. I'm sad, but happy for her because I know she misses the other dogs. She also needs all that space to run. Every time we say, "Where's Chumbah?!" she gets all craaaaaaaazy & runs all over the room & jumps on Mark and starts covering him in slobber. Then she stares at the window hoping that he's out there somewhere. She misses her boyfriend.
5) I like my new doctor. She's very nice and seems to care a lot about her patients. I felt a lot more comfortable around her. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat again (: My last doctor didn't even use a doppler; all he said was, "You can hear it with a regular stethescope later on during your pregnancy" -_- But it was great being able to hear it, and Dr. Mendoza says that it's perfect (: Ah, so reassuring. It makes me happy.
6) I've been watching/reading a lot of things regarding what will be going on towards the end of my pregnancy/labor. I'm learning a lot, but I still have a lot more to learn. It's scary but so exciting at the same time.
7) I hate the idea of people thinking that advising someone how to be a mother is "helpful." I happen to enjoy the idea of learning & experiencing motherhood on my own (well of course with Mark), and in our own way. I don't have a problem sharing experiences and vice versa with fellow pregnant women. It's fun, and THAT'S where I get to relate. But If you trust yourself to be a good mother, you will be. No one wants to be "told" how to be a parent. Unless you notice that someone's endangering their baby, then that's okay. It's just obvious how much people want to show off their experience by "advising" soon-to-be parents. Overall, it's so unncessary.
8) I've been watching TLC for the past 3 hours (still am), and I was watching this episode of "Bringing Home Baby" about a Vietnamese family & they were talking about how every member is born with a different Chinese zodiac. Then I was wondering to myself what Baby Dylan's Chinese zodiac sign was. 2009 is the year of the Ox so I told Mark, and he's like "Like me. I'm born in the year of the Ox." I was like, "What?" Then I started reading about the Ox, and I was just like, "Wow. That is SO Mark."
The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. This powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm, and modest. Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint.
Ox people need peace and quiet to work through their ideas, and when they have set their mind on something it is hard for them to be convinced otherwise. An Ox person has a very logical mind and is extremely systematic in whatever they do, even without imagination. These people speak little but are extremely intelligent. When necessary, they are articulate and eloquent.
People born under the influence of the Ox are kind, caring souls, logical, positive, filled with common sense and with their feet firmly planted on the ground. Security is their main preoccupation in life, and they are prepared to toil long and hard in order to provide a warm, comfortable and stable nest for themselves and their families. Strong-minded, stubborn, individualistic, the majority are highly intelligent individuals who don't take kindly to being told what to do.
The Ox works hard, patiently, and methodically, with original intelligence and reflective thought. These people enjoy helping others. Behind this tenacious, laboring, and self-sacrificing exterior lies an active mind.
The Ox is not extravagant, and the thought of living off credit cards or being in debt makes them nervous. The possibility of taking a serious risk could cause the Ox sleepless nights.
Ox people are truthful and sincere, and the idea of wheeling and dealing in a competitive world is distasteful to them. They are rarely driven by the prospect of financial gain. These people are always welcome because of their honesty and patience. They have many friends, who appreciate the fact that the Ox people are wary of new trends, although every now and then they can be encouraged to try something new.
It is important to remember that the Ox people are sociable and relaxed when they feel secure, but occasionally a dark cloud looms over such people and they engage all the trials of the whole world and seek solutions for them.Also the Ox people are all caring and loving but at times when you mess with them they will tear out in anger.
Mm, yeah. Baby Dylan is going to be just like his daddy.Anyways, about a month ago one of Mark's best friends Nic had an accident where pretty much hit his face/head into a pole while playing basketball. For the past 3 days, he has been having these horrible seizures. He kept calling Mark about them and how he doesn't seem to remember exactly what happens, but Mark reassured him that everything will be okay. Yesterday while Mark was leaving school, Nic gave Mark a call saying how he was feeling one of them headaches again so Mark went to go visit him. Once he got there, he gave Nic a call but he wasn't answering. Mark headed towards the house & Nic's sister told him, "Look out for the ambulance! He's having a seizure again!" And there was Nic, having a seizure in front of Mark's face (it's like one of those Grand Mal seizures). If I was there, I'd probably have a panic attack. I don't know. But he was sent to the hospital, and Mark couldn't help but tear up. I feel bad for Nic. I hope Nic will get a true diagnosis soon. The hospital keeps releasing him because they don't exactly know what's wrong with him. They took an MRI & said nothing was wrong. Mark & I were waiting for a call last night to see if we could go visit him, but I guess they were doing some tests & planned to release him again. Nic called, and all this guy could say is, "I'm hungry." Anyways, I was hoping everyone who reads this could pray for him that he'll be okay. It would mean a lot (:
