I want him OUT!

I am thirty-four weeks along today and I am sick and tired of being pregnant. This kid constantly has his feet jammed into my ribs or his head pressing on my bladder and I am at the end of my rope! If this kid doesn't get out of me soon, Im going to blow a gasket. I am dying for a full nights sleep or even the ability to eat a meal without feeling urpy because there is no room in my abdomen for my stomach.

On a happier note, I finally got a letter from my hubby today. He is enjoying Camp Pendelton so far but is surprised how dusty and dirty it is. I suppose it makes sense since CP is partially in the Mojave Desert, but its unfortunate for him because he and his platoon have to do a ton of cleaning. He is starting to plan his way home though. He mailed both me and his mother concerning flight plans for his graduation date, even though its still about a month and a half away. His mother and I are butting heads about his travel though; she wants him to fly to where she lives and I want him to fly home. She has some baloney reason about money for it, but I know she just wants him to herself. Plus she was being really condescending tonight, not a way she usually treats me.

It was a really frustrating converstion. But the information to take away is that it is not up to the family to take care of travel for their recruit. He/she will have access to a travel agency and will either mail or call you to inform you of their travel plans, so you can plan accordingly.

First run in with Tricare

I dont have much time to write today, but I wanted to pre-examine my upcoming doctors appointment. This will be my first time using my brand new Tricare plan. It is still Standard at this point, so there might be a co-pay and they dont accept my state insurance. My Tricare Prime doesn;t kick in until June 1st.

I am hoping this goes smoothly. I think that all I need to take is my new military ID! I do think its sort of silly that I have to go and have an appointment with my "primary care manager" (your general doctor assigned by tricare) just so I can be referred back to my normal OB/GYN. It seems like OB's should be outside the scope of referals since they are integral to womens health. But whatever; visits to my PCM are not out of pocket and its a couple of hours of out my morning.

Eh. I have nothing better to do. I think I might consider rearranging my bedroom so its layout is more condusive to have a newborn. I still have two months to go, but I am "nesting". I dont like that term, although I can see how it was coined. I feel the urge to clean and prepare, but I dont have the energy to! I start doing a task and suddenly I am so exhaused that I can barely keep my eyes open.
