Jamie's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

May 22, 2000

Well, I don't know when I'll be moving to the pregnancy diaries. I'm sure it will be shortly. In the meantime, I'll still be here.

Wednesday morning, I go to my class on base. Have no idea what it's for, but I can't see a doctor until I've done it. I do get to go to my own doctor, though. They send everyone off base for prenatal. The problem is, how far along will I be before I can get in to him after I get approval to go? I might only see him once before we move, then have to find a new doctor once we get to Connecticut. Of course, in Conn. they might have me see a doctor on base. Who knows!

Oh, Kris got his letter on his birthday telling him I'm pregnant. That was the only birthday gift he was able to get, so I'm glad it was a good one. He's very excited. He called me on Mother's Day and we got to talk for half an hour. It was supposed to be an hour, but they had to share their time with another division. He was lucky he got that even -- his division ticked off their officer people and they weren't supposed to get to call. This was after people wouldn't shut up and they got their first phone call taken away the first week they were there! If he scores well enough on a test, he should have another phone call soon. Trust me, I wait by the phone and don't leave the house all day when I know Kris is going to call me! We both agree me being pregnant is making the separation harder.

I know this sounds corny, but we'd always said he was going to kiss and rub my belly every day when I'm PG. I wrote him a letter that I know he hadn't gotten when he sent his last letter saying he wishes he was here to do that. In his letter to me, he said the same thing. He's so sweet = ). But it was funny -- last night, I was rubbing my belly while I watched T.V. with ‘lil Kris because it hurt (more on that in a minute). He looked down, saw me, and decided he needed to do it too! So I told him there's a baby in my belly, and he was like "baby?" It was so cute! I told him to kiss the baby in my belly and he did.

God, as for my symptoms. I'm constantly nauseated! I hope this doesn't last much longer. I hate eating right now, and I have to force myself to do it. On top of that, I have a headache every single day. Wake up with it and go to bed with it. I sent Kris a letter telling I'm never going to be PG again because I'm too miserable. And I'm not exaggerating either! I hate it. I've never felt so sick in my life. Oh, and I have diarrhea a lot. I'm used to bowel problems, which I think are related to the endometriosis (that and nausea), but now I can't even take anything for it. Yuck! Most days I wish I could just stay in bed and not have to do a darn thing. Then reality kicks in, LOL. I have a job that I have to go to whether I like it or not. I don't have sick time yet, and I haven't gotten a paycheck for Kris yet, so I'm stuck. Luckily I've only thrown up once at work, and that was the same day I had the blood test done.

OK, time to go to bed. I slept half the afternoon already, and now it's not even 10 p.m.!
