Memories

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog that's okay too.

Update on me being annoyed...

So, I finally broke down and called my mother in-law to help me out. Apparently you have to be a New Yorker to get through at that place! I have my first appointment on August 21st. I will be 14 wks by then!
About the insurance...it actually is a pretty good price because I have no deductible. I just pay a $25 co-pay and $200 for the delivery. But, I still wish I had more choices.
When my mother in-law called she asked about the doctor. They said he is awesome and that he is the head of the department, so I guess that's good. I just want to be able to have the option to switch if I don't like him.
Anyway, hopefully later today I can find my camera and finally put my pictures on here...

ANNOYED!!!!

I am annoyed right now. I have been on hold trying to make my first doctors appointment for 21 minutes and oh about 35 seconds and counting!!! I am so mad. I have called back 5 times! That's right, this is not the first time they have put me on hold and not come back! Do I look like I have unlimited minutes people!!
Oh my goodness, I want Utah back right now! I can't believe they would do that. I am also annoyed because I have to pay $361 a month for health insurance...and I only have ONE choice for a hospital and ONE choice for a doctor. He is a old Korean man! This is not going to be fun. I am typing this and sobbing because I REALLY just want to hang up, but I can't...and it could be the hormones!
Is this normal? Has anyone ever had to wait this long just to make an appointment???????????? I just want to drive my angry pregnant self down there and yell at everyone!!!

26 minutes 17 seconds and counting.....

I finally have internet...

Yay! I finally have internet! It's been way too long. I finally got to read everyone's blogs. I was way behind on that so I didn't get to leave too many comments.
All is good on the Gounaris front...I'm still pregnant, and the baby must be very healthy because I am sick as a dog. Thank you for everyone's suggestions on what to eat and drink. I tried all of them and it's just hit and miss from day to day. There have only been a few days in the past few weeks where I haven't thrown up, and those were VERY good days!
Tom is SUPER busy working in the city. He sold his first apartment the other day...I'm very proud of all his hard work!! He leaves every morning around 8 and comes home anywhere between 7-11 PM. He is working so hard so that I can have these few months off work while I am so sick. I sure love him! I start teaching preschool again in September just until the baby comes...I'm excited to hopefully not be sick anymore...oh boy, my house is a disaster area! Every time I try to clean up I end up throwing up, so I guess it's best just to stay in bed. :(
I was finally able to get health insurance. It kicks in August 1st! I'm excited to go to the doctor and get an ultrasound! Since I was taking Clomid I worry that I might be having twins or something!
Well, now that I have internet I should be blogging a lot more so check back soon!

I'm here...

Ugh, I am still here, just really sick. We got our furniture finally! And our car comes today. I'm so excited because now when I have a craving for something I can actually go get it!!! Only 4 more weeks till I'm out of the first trimester...hopefully then I will feel better.

Thank you!

I love you guys! Thank you to everyone for all your support. It made me happy to read every one of your comments. Tom and I are just sooo excited! Thank you for all your prayers and support while we were trying too. They really meant a lot to us!

I'm still alive and well...but sick at the same time!!!

Yes, I am still here. Wow, Tom and I have had an interesting few weeks. When we moved we decided to make things "easy" on ourselves. However, "easy" is actually harder than we imagined. We had some movers load the truck and drive it here to deliver to us, only it is STILL not here. It was supposed to take 5 days...but it's been what...2 1/2 weeks! Our car was also supposed to be shipped...only it is still in Utah and we are here without a car. Sucks! We've been sleeping on a Queen size air mattress and living out of suitcases. I am stuck at home because I can't drive anywhere. I walk to the library every day...but that's about it. Anyway, our things our supposed to come on Sunday or Monday...the car on the other hand is a whole other story!
Well, despite the bad stuff, we have had some good things happen. We had a wonderful 4th of July. We went to Jones Beach and watched the fireworks which they do over the ocean...absolutely beautiful to hear the crashing waves and see the fireworks reflect off the water.
Tom and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Monday...the pictures will have to come later of all our adventures, seeing as how I don't actually have my computer yet. We went to Manhatten to Olive Garden and a show. The best part of our anniversary was celebrating the fact that we are finally going to be parents!!! Hopefully I don't regret telling everyone so early...but I just couldn't wait any longer. Besides, a lot of people already know. I am in my 8th week...so not very far along. I am experience morning sickness...or rather all day sickness. All the sickness is well worth this little miracle. Tom and I just couldn't be happier!
Funny story, as many of you know Tom and I have been trying to have a baby for over a year now. When we decided to move to NY we decided to put our baby making plans on hold until we got settled here. Little did I know...I was already pregnant. I actually found out the morning we moved here. Looks like Heavenly Father had a different plan for us then we had for ourselves. Of course I LOVE his plan!
On the not so funny part, we lost our health insurance when Tom left his job in Utah. I am now scrambling to figure out what to do since we don't qualify for any state assistance, but we also don't have money to pay for all the expenses out of pocket. Any ideas? Also, what did you eat when you were pregnant? I know I need to eat...but absolutely NOTHING sounds good or tastes good to me. I have to force feed myself! McDonalds cheeseburgers were good for a while...but that's getting old.
Well, this is a very long post...I need to save some for later when I have my pictures. Adios!
