not a happy camper >:-(

i am BEYOND being annoyed at the stupid military!!! as of today i am 37 weeks and 5 days, which means i will be 38 weeks on friday. during these last few weeks of pregnancy i'm supposed to be seen every week (or so i've read AND been told) to see how the baby is and how i'm progressing, BUT no, seems that it's not going to work out that way. i mean why tell me that you want to see me in a week when there is nothing open in the schedule?! freaking get your shit together! there is such a lack of communication among the staff that it's not even funny!

at my last appointment, which was last friday, they told me to call their office on tuesday to see if they had a spot for me, which is exactly what i did. i call and they tell me that there isn't anything open until january 28th!!! WHAT?! i'm supposed to get seen sometime this week and now they're telling me that they can't!!! talk about annoying. they told me to call back today to see if anyone canceled (as in someone gave birth early), but still, nothing. i told the receptionist that i thought i needed to be seen every week by now and she said that as long as i wasn't in pain or something that it was o.k. if they didn't see me until next week (she put me down on the schedule for friday, january 29th!!!).

i don't know if this is just me or what, but i was completely flabbergasted. here i am so close to my due date, most likely to give birth to a 9 lb. baby and i have to wait a week and a half before they can check on her and me...ridiculous. i know she doesn't have a lot of room left in there and i want to make sure she's doing o.k., hence why i ASSUMED it would be mandatory to see me every week by now to check her heart rate to see she isn't in any distress, but no. obviously there is nothing i can do but wait and hope someone cancels or i go into labor. all i have to say is that they better have their freaking schedule open for my 40 week and potential 41 week appointments or there is going to be hell to pay!!!
