Hey Everyone!
time to catch everybody up i guess.
I am officially 34 weeks today! Time is going by SO fast! I can't believe how little time I have left until I have this little baby boy. I am getting really excited! I mean, I have always been excited, but its getting pretty real now.
I had a doctor appointment today. I am down to an appointment every two weeks now instead of every month. The doc appointment was ok today I guess. I feel fine, and I can feel Travis kicking like a CHAMP. They just are a tiny bit worried about how much he is growing, so I have to make an ultrasound appointment tomorrow, just to check on him. Since he is moving around a lot, she said it's just precautionary. Everything else seems to be fine so I guess I will just wait to see what is going to happen and let you all know updates as we go. Im extremely frustrated with army medical care, especially after having seen a specialist when we were in GA. I already have a preconcieved notion about the healthcare, so it doesnt make it any easier to deal with stupid crap and the run-around that they give me. Today was taxing on my emotions because everybody seems to be so routine about everything. I mean, I just feel like- its typical army behavior to just make people feel like they are just another number. I just got shuffled through, and nobody really seemed to try any harder than they had to to help me out. First, I went to the OB, then she told me to go make an appointment with radiology for my ultrasound. When I went down to radiology, they told me that the doctor from OB hadnt put an order in for my test, so I had to wait till tomorrow to even schedule an appointment.. UNLESS, the doctor from OB called down to radiology and spoke to the doctor herself and then it would get me through faster and I wouldnt have to wait till tomorrow to make the initial appointment. So, we walked back to OB, and sat for about 10 minutes till a nurse came out and said that there was nothing they could do and they wouldnt call down because it wouldnt make a difference. Then I said- I just spoke to them and they said if My doctor called down, that they could bypass that- wait till the next day to make an appointment-rule. (apparently they do this to review your file, but the receptionist told me if the doc called herself, that they wouldnt need to review it and they could waive that rule). So, the nurse went back to talk to the doc, and came back and said that the doc called down, and that she had gotten them to revoke that order to make me wait till tomorrow. So, we walked back down to radiology, and and even though she called down, i still have to wait till tomorrow to make the stupid appointment. RAWR. After that we had to go to the lab so I could get another glucose test taken, because for some reason those results weren't in my file when it got transferred from Savannah. When we got to the lab, the receptionist was rude and it was passed the time to do glucose tests for the day anyway, so i have to go back tomorrow. When we tried to ask him a question, i guess he just didnt understand us or thought we were dumb and dont know how the system works. (thats how they all act. They all act sort of like nobody knows anything except them). So, nothing got accomplished today except me having to worry about little travis and getting this growth thing taken care of. I just wish that they would have a little more empathy and treat people like actual patients instead of the next number. But- at least he is almost here now so I dont have much more of this to go.... haha, until I switch to a pediatrician. :) Anyway, like I said, I will keep you updated.
Trent still doesnt know what is going to happen now that he isnt in the course anymore. He is trying to put a warrent packet in. If that goes through, then there is a chance that we will be moving again down to sweet home alabama. If he doesnt get the packet approved or something else happens, then there is a good chance we will stay here for awhile. Im sort of sick of moving, but I guess whatever the army tells us, is where we will go. I will also keep you updated on that as well.
Other than the doc appointments, not a whole lot is new with us. We havent been out a whole lot and so Im still waiting to meet some people. I got invited to a mary kay party tomorrow evening, by a lady we just happend upon at red lobster the other night. I am gonna go just to get out, but i dont think im gonna make anything of it. I know that at these little parties a lot of times u get sucked into being a sales rep or something.... Ha, I just dont know if that is for me or not. I have absolutely NO fashion sense whatsoever, and I think you have to know a little about fashion and makeup and stuff to sell mary kay products. Plus, I just dont know how good I would be at selling stuff to other people. I hate when people try to be pushy on me like that, so I dont really want to be on the pushing side. I will probably buy something tomorrow, just to say I did, but on top of the reasons I already listed for not really wanting to sell mary kay, they meet on tuesday nights, and that is my favorite night with trent because the BIGGEST LOSER comes on tv! If i have to miss the Biggest Loser every week, I will be really sad! I missed the premere because we didnt have cable, but not THIS WEEK! cable comes TOMORROW! just in time for the next episode of BL, but i dont know if Ill be home. :(
My garden is doing pretty good. Im a little nervous because its supposed to get cold the next week or two and it has rained nonstop for two days now. We have gotten 12 inches of rain in the last 2 days! I am worried that if they dont flood out, that they will freeze. I asked trent if we could put milk cartons around them, but he said it might still be too cold. I knew this going into planting my garden that it might have been too late in the season, so I guess if they dont grow, I will know for next year. If they dont make it, I might try to get some winter plants. But for now, they are growing pretty nice and tall. :)
Anyway, I guess thats all for now. I will let you know what happens with everything next time.
