Thanks for the info Britney! We're trying to figure out now if we get supplemental housing and paid while he's in basic. Do you know that? He hasn't been back in to talk to the recruiters yet about that stuff. This is all new to me as I don't know anything about the military and how it works.
Sorry you feel so ill misslissa. Hopefully you feel better soon! Having crackers by you at all times helps too. During my pregnancy with DS the doc told me to always have them there and if I get a wave of nausea to eat a couple. Luckily I didn't have much with him. So far yesterday and today I've noticed that I can't eat very much as I feel very full after eating just a couple bites. I only ate a small salad today at 11:30 and I'm not even hungry for dinner.

JJsmom, I'm not sure but what I can do is ask my husband for you were is your hubby going to basic at?

I dont want to eat much either...nor do I want to cook, food just isn't appealing right now.

I'm not sure yet. He has to lose 20 lbs to sign up. So he'll have that gone by the first of the year and sign up. He'll get his information from there I guess. Once he found out I was pregnant he was more motivated to lose the weight. LOL! He went out running this morning (day after I told him I was pregnant). He said there are 5 possible locations he'll go. I remember they could be like Texas, Georgia (I think), and not sure about the others. LOL! I'm not the best at remembering
Lol, I'm not the best for remembering either I suck big time. I'm sure he will get the weight off before the 1st of the year being that motivated and all my husband just left to this thing called PTA which is a training they do to get the ready for deployment. He won't even be here for our 1st appointment but luckily I have my sister here and she won't let me go by myself due to my miscarriage I recently had in mid August. So I may not have my hubby for comfort but I have my sister...
Sorry you wont have him there for support but at least you have your sister! I wish you a sticky bean!!! When he goes, my closest family is my grandmother 1 1/2 hrs away and my dad 2 hrs away. His family is here but I'm still working on his mom getting to like me. LOL! We have a busy year next year, he graduates with his Bachelor's, getting married, baby, basic training, then moving wherever they tell us. It's a lot! So, when it comes that time that I have to go in, I'll have to get my DS up and going and out the door to the hospital! Unless I end up with twins which means I might end up with them before he leaves. Hopefully not on our wedding day though. LOL! That'd be insane!

Thanks , Aww I'm sorry about your mother n law maybe she just needs to warm up to the idea of everything I mean she is going to have to being the soon to be grandma of your little bean. That's really awesome maybe he can go in as in Officer which makes so much more money, tell him to talk to his recruiter about that he won't have to start at the bottom and did I mention more money. Which branch is he going into? I want twins I don't see it happening though my levels weren't sky rocket high. So I'm going to have a singleton which I'm still happy with its better than non at all.

She's warming up to us getting married, but now this will be thrown into it. LOL! We're excited so it doesn't matter what she thinks! All I know is he's going into the Army and he isn't going in as an officer. He'll have his Bachelor's degree and be going in as a E4 I believe. The recruiters told him it's best to start off as the E4 because going in as an officer with no knowledge of the military, the soldiers under him will not respect him. So once he's been in there for a year he's planning on going to Officer training. He is going to be a Mental Health Specialist working with the soldiers with PTSD and other various mental problems.

Well yeah that's good my dad would have said different to me only because I've been a military brat my whole life so I have so knowledge an E-4 is good and his field is a great one we need more Mental Health Specialist because more and more soldiers come back from war with PTSD its really sad. Lol well I'm glad she is warming up to you and you guys having a baby has nothing to do with her she will get over it lol. As long as you guys are happy that's all that matters
