Changed my Mind....

I'm in the process of switching from my current OB doctor to a Midwifery in Nashville. The Vanderbilt midwife program is awesome! you see my doctor suggested I go there after I handed him my birth plan. His biggest things was that he wanted me to have an IV and to stay on the hospital bed after my water broke...really? None of those things are necessary and I don't want to have to fight anyone over it. So, since a home birth costs 1,500-3,000, I will take the next best option. When I met with the Vanderbilt midwives they said that I could do whatever I wanted and they don't even keep Patocin around...and don't do c-sections. My kind of place. :-) Now let's see how long Tri-care (govt healthcare) takes to switch over.

On another note, I had dinner with Karl Rove and his family last week. Sweet man. It was his sons 21st Birthday party (I worked with his son during my LI years). He served me cake. Cute is another word I'd use to describe him....who would have thought. It was a little awkward though, because you see you can tell that I'm pregnant now. maybe I don't look 8 months, but you can still tell. Anyway I was hanging out a lot with Randolph who I hitchhiked a ride with to the party. I only knew Randolph and Rover (Karl's son). Mr. Rove asked Randolph if the baby was his....umm...no, I have a husband. Randolph did explain this to him....thank goodness. But still. I wonder who else wondered that? Atleast the lady I was sitting next to at dinner knew...because I made sure I told her all about Ryan, deployment and the baby. She was very nice though.

This weekend is Ryan and i's anniversary and we've rented a cabin in the TN wilderness for the weekend. No cell phone reception...no people. Just us. So, if you try to reach me before Tuesday..you can't. After that though, try and reach me all you want cause Ryan will be at JRTC (deplyment training) in LA and I'll be sad. Boo...soo...yeah.

Have a great weekend everyone!

What's Wrong with me?

Sometimes I wish I didn't have answers to this question. The problem is that most the time I don't know which one is correct. This week though, I'm pretty sure the answer is, "I'm Pregnant." The last two days Ryan has called to tell me he will be home very late...I cried. It's not like he said he wouldn't be home at all (which happens sometimes), just late. though, of course that always means really late, after I'm asleep, but still. I think to myself, "I'm such a wimp." After all, I used to laugh and tease girls who would get so upset over their husbands, boyfriends, whomever being home late or being gone for a few days. Now a deployment is something to cry about...not that. But i cried anyhow. If I really want to cry I should at least wait till March when he's gone for a month at JRTC. But, there is nothing I can do it seems. Sometimes I just want to complain about the Army...really...why?

This week I got the car seat and stroller I ordered (and got a huge discount on thanks to Kohls). It was so weird to put it all together. I felt like I was playing dolls or something. It has good reviews so I just pray that I love it. I also got my new camera so I can take pictures of things now.

Andrea, aka lil sis, is in the running to be one of the marines to take care of the presidents helicopter. They've narrowed it down to four and will pick two. I'm excited that that would put her in VA and that would be closer to me, but it's too bad the president is who he is. Oh well. It would probably be a cool job anyhow.

I have a new boss at work....more about that next week. that's when he starts.

till next time....
