Unsolicated Advice

You will discover when people learn that your pregnant that everyone and their mama wants to give you advice. Sometimes this advice is requested and sometimes this advice is just given without any regard to the intelligence of the woman that is pregnant. You know that people mean well but sometimes it just drives you completely insane. Let me give an example of what I mean.

So this weekend was Zdenko's birthday. Usually birthdays mean food and even more food. Well we went over at our usual time to have dinner and give our gifts. I come in and my sister in law is making some kind of shrimp kabobs and had some crab legs. Both are not my favorite unless they are cooked well in Sushi. (Philadelphia Rolls, or Shrimp Tempura or Cali Rolls) SIL says she researched it and I can have crab legs but she wasn't so sure about the shrimp because she wasn't real sure where it came from. It can be potentially dangerous (from her knowledge). Honestly neither looked appetizing so it wasn't on my food agenda. Then I proceeded to tell her that I still eat Sushi (the above mentioned only) and she immediately told me that I shouldn't do that. I think I would know what I can and cannot eat. She started to attack me and tell me that it has too much mercury. I just had to walk away. Here is an article for those who are interested. But just Google it and you will find the same result. Oh and here is a list of the fish that is safe to eat in Sushi. The ones I like are two 6 ounce servings per week.

Then the night proceeded on. Mother in law got on to me for not wearing shoes. I was wearing thick socks and I wasn't even cold. I asked her why she wasn't wearing shoes and she said..it doesn't matter she isn't pregnant. Then Father in law asked me why I wasn't laying down. It's not as if I was being terribly active or anything. He immediately jumped on the couch and asked me to relax with him. So I did. All this with in a hour of visiting. While I know they do this out of love and concern they just need to relax a little.

On the side note I ended up eating a small piece of steak, potato salad (which was terribly over seasoned with mustard), a roll, and a few bits of corn on the cob. Usually I eat more but during dinner the heartburn came back with a vengeance. Watching them open the crab legs was also disgusting so my stomach was not liking any of this. I am not sure what caused the heartburn return but its a tie between the potato salad and the little bit of steak that I did have. I ended up not even getting a piece of cake. It was sorta ironic if you think about it.

On how I feel front. I am okay today. I have a lot of brown clottish glue spotting usually in the mornings. I am taking it as a good sign. It's more than likely means that it's trying to make it's way our of my body. Trying to stay as possible as possible. Two more weeks to the appointment to check on the little bean.
