Ugh

Well, I got a call on Thursday that my appt had to be rescheduled. Something came up and my doctor had to be out of the office. I understand, he's a doctor, these things happen, but I've been waiting sooo long! Anyway, my appt will now be on Tuesday. I'll let y'all know how it goes. It's the first time I'll get to hear the heartbeat, so I'm a little bummed that Sailor can't be there (he has duty on Tuesday). Oh well, at least he'll be able to be there for the u/s next month. I can't wait to find out the sex!

MIA

So I guess I've been missing lately. I don't even remember if I told y'all about my Insurance Drama, so I'll go ahead and catch y'all up. I was supposed to have my first "official" prenatal appointment about 3 weeks ago (April 5). I had been before to confirm my appt and get my due date, etc, but this was my first actual appt. Anyway, since the reason I had been going to my doctor was because I was having miscarriages, I needed to get a whole new referral to reflect my new purpose for seeing this doctor. Easy enough, right? Just call em up and have em switch it. Wrong. I called and waited, and called, and waited, and finally had to cancel my appt because I never got my referral. Apparently the military doctors have the right to see me to determine if I'm really "high risk" or not. I was not okay with this and did not want to go to those doctors at all, I want to go to MY doctor. So I wrote a letter to the Commanding Officer of the hospital. My doctor also wrote a very convincing letter. Sailor picked up the letter on his way home from work one day and I mailed em off. A week ago, I got the call that my request was accepted! Woo Hoo! It was sooo stressful dealing with all of that and I was starting to wonder if I'd have to just go without prenatal care. Okay, maybe a little dramatic, but I seriously did not want to go to the military doctors since they were so unsensitive when I had all of my miscarriages. Anyway, I finally got my referral so I called my doctor's office to share my good news and finally reschedule the appt that I had cancelled 2 weeks prior. My appt is this Friday, the 28th (3 1/2 weeks late, but better than nothing!). So anyway, there's my good news, I get to keep my doctor!

Where else have I been? I've been here...just lazy. LOL I just haven't felt like I really had much to say lately. Rather than just babble about nothing and bore y'all to death, I just stayed quiet.

Happy Easter

Hope everyone's having a great Easter weekend! Friday was our playgroup Easter Party! The doors didn't get open til late, so me and Java and the rest of our setup crew were running around like madwomen trying to get everything set up in time! It was a great party, huge turnout! Princess had a blast playing with all of her friends, I barely saw her the whole time! I did manage to sit down and eat (since I skipped breakfast, skipping lunch was not an option!), but then was up and running around again! LOL By the time the egg hunt was over, I was exhausted! I started feeling a little pressure from being on my feet all day, so I sat down and relaxed for a few minutes then headed to base to meet Sailor. We went to his shop and visited for a bit, then I gave him my insurance card and registration so he could get new stickers for the van (mine were expired).

Yesterday was a boring day, just sat around the house watching tv. Last night I filled all of the eggs for Princess, wrapped her gift from us (two shirts and two shorts), filled her basket, then hid the basket and all the eggs.

This morning we got up, got Princess dressed, let her open her gift from us, then we went and looked for the basket, unloaded the basket, and looked for all the eggs. I don't think she really gets the egg hunt thing yet. We had to assist her a bit in finding the eggs, but she'd get all excited when she'd find one! LOL I got some cute pics, I'll upload them in a minute.

Long Update

Sorry I haven't posted in over a week! I was going to post during the week about our trip to the fair and everything, but I was in the middle of posting and Princess started whining and wouldn't let me type, so I just closed the window without saving. We had fun at the fair, though. I had a funnel cake and sausage dog (YUMM), but wasn't hungry enough for an elephant ear, too. I wanted one, but I'll have to wait. It was sooo hot, we stayed from about noon til 4, came home, napped, then went back at 7:30 til after 9. Princess rode a bunch of rides and had a blast.

What else has been going on? I was supposed to have an OB appt on Wednesday, but had to cancel it because I couldn't get the insurance crap straightened out. Since I'm now going to my doctor for high-risk pregnancy instead of recurring miscarriages, I had to get a whole new referral. I figured it'd be easy, they could just put a new reason down, and I'd be done. I was wrong. I called a week and a half before my appt and requested a referral from my primary doctor (same one that made the original referral for me). I never heard back, so called again a week later. Apparently he never got my message, so I spoke to someone that spoke to someone else that was going to have him sign off on it that day. I called back on Wed because I hadn't heard back yet, and apparently he only gave me a referral for OB on base. I don't want to go to the military doctors because of the way they treated me after my last miscarriage. They made me an appt to get a consult to begin the testing, but then cancelled it and told me to just go to a civilian...without offering any help as to how to get my referral, etc. They've never been all that compassionate or helpful in the past, either. Anyway, I love my current doctor and want to keep seeing him. So I talk to like a million different people on Wed (most of them giving me a different number to call) and finally get ahold of someone that's willing to help. Apparently the OB clinic has to "release" me of their care so that I can go to my doctor. The lady I spoke to tried to get them to just go ahead and release me, but they insist they need to see me first. So she finally advises me to write a letter to the Commanding Officer of the hospital, and have my doctor do the same. I'll call my doctor tomorrow to see if he's written his letter, and then hopefully will be able to make another appt soon. So frustrating!

On to bad day #2 (aka today)...I decide to go bathing suit shopping. I've already checked Target (nothing I liked), Kohls (nothing at all), and Walmart (nothing at all). So I decided to hit the mall. First stop is Motherhood Maternity...they have like 4 choices. I tried on one, it was too big everywhere but the boobs. I looked at another, but it was way too expensive. So on to Old Navy...1 bathing suit. That's it, just one, not even multiple sizes of the one bathing suit. By the way, it was hot pink. Pass. Next stop, Penney's. None. Belk? None. Seriously? No one has bathing suits for pregnant woman! I did find a couple online, but I would really like to try something like that on. I refuse to order one, wait for it to get here, and then have to return it. I'm pissed. In fact, I'm so pissed that I'm crying in the elevator at Belk. Why don't these places have maternity swimsuits? It's just not fair. They have maternity clothes, but apparently no one wants to see a pregnant woman in a swimsuit. Great. So my fat ass will be wearing last year's bathing suit that's starting to get a lil tight. Not only did I cry in the elevator, but after holding it in until I was alone again (in the van), I cried most of the way home. Then I go to Wendy's, they mess up my burger. The manager was really nice and let me keep the one they gave me (it wasn't nasty, just didn't have lettuce or tomato on it) and gave me another one. I ate my burgers, gave Princess her burger, and then headed home. We get inside and Princess eats a fry, spits it out, and then wants to give it to me. Ummm, I don't want it! So she wipes it on my chair! Ugh! Then I turn my chair around and see a cigarette butt on my desk. I don't smoke. Sailor quit smoking for New Years. He's never smoked in the house. Why the hell is there a cigarette butt on my desk? Apparently one of the neighborhood kids felt like leaving it there. What a crappy day. We're supposed to go to Sailor's friend's pool, but it's already 3:00, I don't see it happening. Weather's not that great today, either. It was 91 degrees yesterday, perfect pool weather! But today, 72. Ugh.
