One of my favorite restaurants now has to be removed from my list.... and potentially to a restaurant I dont even want to go to!
I had a craving for a certain dish at Buca di Beppo last night so Matt drove us all the way to Maple Grove... to find out 1) they no longer serve their Buca "1893" Salad and 2) took Tortellini off of the menu!!!! The two items I ordered EVERY time I went there..... sad sad sad day.
Im not a fan of Red Sauce so nothing else really sounds good to me..... we had cheese ravioli in a cream sauce, but it was bland and both Matt and I felt sick afterwards.
Now onto a not so sad area:
I had my 35 week check-up yesterday, they did my beta-step test ( I dont know the results and I didnt have it with Zack so I am just assuming I dont have it now) I was measuring 36 weeks.. I HAD LOST A POUND AND A HALF!!! That was the first time ever that I went to the doctor during a pregnancy and had lost weight... Heartbeat was 138, hers is always near the 140s which i thought was the "boy" range, but maybe not. I know Zackys was always in the 160s...
What else we talked about Charley Horses, cause I got a really bad one a couple nights ago, and being really short of breath after lunch, and He checked my cervix, I was 1cm on the outside, closed on the inside and -2, and she is head down.
All the goods.

Another month....
Well another month has gone by and all the stuff that has happened!
Im 34 weeks now, I go to the doctor every other week, my next appt I do my beta strep test. She was measuring 2-3 wks big at every appt, but last visit she was only 1 week ahead, either she is slowing down, or my big uterus is just filling up...
I think I have everything ready for stuff wise... I ordered the last few items I was missing last night, but I was going to read lists online to see what they say I need and what I actually have, it has been almost 4 years...
I also thought pretty soon here I should pack a hospital bag, not that I will be going into labor 3 weeks early ( not that lucky) but then one less thing to do, I also have to read up and see what I should bring.
My other thought is I havent even bought a baby book for this one yet, I should probably do that, I remember Nikki's book being almost completely filled out and mine only having a few random things in it, I dont want this baby to have that!
I also cut all my hair off.
I also am rethinking my career. I got into the dental assisting field for the purpose to get into the dental hygiene career ( school I prefer requires working as an assistant first) I also thought good hours, no weekends, no holidays.... um bologna.
I work weekends including sundays, Ive worked holidays and holiday weekends, there are NO jobs for assistants and NO jobs for hygienist right now. We put an ad out and all it said was full time RDA needed... we got about 30 resumes, mostly from older assistants ( which means you cant be old in this field, why? you may ask, you have tons of experience EXACTLY, doctors are cheap they dont want to pay the older assistants what they deserve)
I got scared and started looking into other fields, If I became an RN like my mom, yes I would work evenings, weekends, and holidays, but I would actually get compensated with pay differential, 2x and 3x, bonuses and be able to have Union, so I also will have retirement and benefits.... wonderful.
Im already have half the credits done, need to take AP 1 and 2 just like I would for hygiene, and would only go part-time for the 2 year program to get done.. I still have to go the full two years though because they make you take certain classes at certain times... Plus they offer the program at the Cambridge Campus!
My doctor was telling me how he had his best month ever his last month at our other office working only 3 days a week he TOOK HOME 22,000 that month... I said " do you realize that in one and half months you make what I make in a year?" he just laughed.
I dont think that is funny! Im there an hour before him, an hour after! Life sucks then you die.
I probably will go back to school. Although I really really like dental the job outlook is horrible ( I looked at the StarTribune ad there were 12 hygiene posts and 43 PAGES for RN)
Im getting ready for Nikki's baby shower and the rest of my day will be cleaning if I can get the motivation..... where is that darn motivation.
I hate cleaning, especially now, because I get so winded and crampy with bending over....
Tomorrow I go to the grocery store to buy all the food for the kabobs and appetizers and drinks... ( just bottled water and diet pop) Tara is going to make a punch.
Matt got a call yesterday saying McCrossan would like him back and orientation on Monday... Yeah! Flatiron is down to the last guys building the 35W bridge, they are working only 8 hours ( at a 2 dollar increase though) and pretty soon he would be laid off... Now he is going to his old company, who is working Saturdays, never went without pay and he will be working at 65 and 242! That bridge is almost done, but then they start a bridge before and after that intersection! So he will probably have work till the end of the year...
This has been a long post I know, but I have one more dilemma...
Zack and daycare.
I was having Nancy and Ron and My mom split the days I work.
I now have set schedule where I work mon, tues, fri. My mom was able to arrange where she gets most mon and tues off.. so that just leaves fri.
This summer my brother is home and I offered him fridays and any days mom wasnt able to get off, so he could make some money and be responsible ( only 25 bucks a day) he took it.
I think Nancy and Ron are mad or hurt feelings... what do ya do? They are getting up there in age ( Ron is 67, Nancy I think is 62) they arent very mobile and I think they are naive to what is considered dangerous these days.. I was planning on changing my daycare situation once baby was born anyway because I didnt think they could handle 2 kids at 12 hour days, but Matt is upset that we may have hurt his parents feelings.
Im stuck, what works best for us should be priority not feelings right?
There were a couple incidences I was very unhappy with, one circumstance that I thought we had dealt with, but it happened again and it was in a conversation that they had done it, like no big deal. Matt just wants to talk to them again and tell them they cant do that, but if you know Ron you know he does, and says, whatever he wants. You cant tell him anything. So what do ya do?
