Doctors Appointments

I finally figured out who my PCM (Primary Care Manager) is! Very happy about that. I thought for some reason that I wouldn't have health coverage until the first of next month. I guess the military is good at some things :)

I am waiting to hear back from an Endocrinologist office later today. I have a hypothyroid (underactive thyroid gland) so it needs to be monitored regularly especially now that I am pregnant. And I found an OB/GYN clinic close to my mom's house that also accepts Tricare Prime. I have an appointment with them this Wednesday, March 24th, at 11:30 am, and another appointment April 12th at 1:00 pm for a 13 week ultrasound.

Brandon and I are thankfully able to speak on a daily basis. Every night we see each other on SKYPE. I connect the headphones to my computer and lay them on my tummy so he can talk to the baby. I swear every time he speaks to our little jelly bean I can feel it wiggle around like crazy <3 I don't know what I would do without Brandon. Even far away, he is my rock. I never thought I could love someone so unconditionally. If I ever get depressed or down about something, I just think about the day we pick him up from the airport and I'm standing there holding our little baby. It will be the most emotional and intense day of our lives. I can not wait.

My nausea comes and goes lately. Some days are better than others. Mornings are the worst... I eat the most in the evenings. Saturday my dad, Mary and I went golfing. It was such a beautiful day (though a little chilly at times) and I had a blast. Later in the evening a good friend of ours, Joseph, picked me up and took me out to Northside for a Funk concert. That was also fun :) I ended up sitting next to this woman who happened to be in the Marines. She was about 40 and was a complete nut lol. She wanted to touch my tummy. I laughed and said OK. She just held her hand there, wide eyed, and stared. Then she looked up at me and said "I'm sorry I'm petting your tummy, but I have a dog." Hahaha... it was one of the funniest things anyone has ever said to me. Then around 11:30 pm, some obnoxious friend of theirs came over and spilled beer on me. It was about time to go home after that.
