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?

Vent Alert
Well today was day 5 in a row of working, which isnt a big deal to most people but I work 10 hour days.... one was only 5 hours.. but I am 31 wks pregnant in two days only get one day off and then work three more 10 hr days in a row.... That puts me at 8 of 9 days in a row working for 75hrs... Im exhausted.
Ive been having a lot of contractions too.. not like labor ones, braxton ones, but very irritating. My stomach gets so hard that it hurts to move.
I was very frustrated at work today... I am an assistant, but that doesn't make me an idiot. The doctors treat you like crap most of the time and I had about had it today. You can only do so many things wrong in a day before you want to quit. I hate when your boss can do no wrong, like they have never and will never make a mistake. Even when they do make a mistake they will turn it around and find a reason why it was my fault. I hate that, take some frickin responsibility.
I especially hate when they ask me to do something I get up to do it and then they yell at me because they need something else.
Example: I need a new 330 bur, I say right now, they say yes, I get up to go to lab, they yell when I get four steps away, I need suction, I need suction...
Um, which would you like? I can only do one at a time, I know you need suction you dont have to tell me give me one frickin second and I will get your bur and get my butt back to where I can suction for you...
Example: I asked permission to take xrays on a pt. I ask what would you like
Dr replies " 4 bitewings and a Pano"
I reply for like the million'th time " regular insurance will not cover 4 bwxs and a Pano on the same day"
Dr " then just take 4 bwxs"
I take 4 bwxs
I tell doctor Im done with the bwxs
Dr " why didnt you take a Full mouth?"
I reply" you told me to take 4 bwxs"
Dr" no I said take a FMX and 4 bwxs"
( um no you didnt, you never said take a fmx, you wanted a pano and I told you insurance wouldnt cover it, like I have told you day after day.) ...( besides a FMX includes bwxs so it wouldnt make any sense for you to tell me take a fmx AND bwxs)
But I am the just an assistant so what do I know.
I know Im there an half hour before you everyday pre-setting up your ops, sterilizing your instruments, and cleaning your office.
I still there an hour after you leave, closing your office, running your backups, ordering your supplies, pouring your models, calling the labs, confirming the appts, stocking the ops, calling support and sitting on hold forever to fix the computers yet again, cleaning the instruments, writing the charts, scrubbing the floors, vacuuming, cleaning the windows, calling in prescriptions answering the phone....
but you will come in tomorrow and yell at me because I forgot to call the guy to fix the door.
Thanks for noticing.
I deserve a raise
Thanks for letting me vent!

Been Awhile
So it has been awhile, I have been busy.
Im now 25 weeks, and huge. Chubs McGee is measuring 2 wks larger every doctor visit so Im looking forward to little baby chuck, which Zack never had.
When It rains it pours. I think I have done pretty good paying people off with Matt working all these hours so far, Express, Best Buy, Menards, Target (mine), Target ( matthew), Providian ( well half and transferred the rest off the 34% card to a 4%) Continental Diamonds ( who forgot we owed them money), Gary, and Tony. Yikes. But I still have Both Wells Fargo cards, Dodge credit card and Matts Parents. and I havent saved a penny.
I got notice starting June 2nd I have to report for jury duty too. Geez. It states I will be on-call for 4 WEEKS! having to call in the night prior to see if I need to report. Yeah that works good at my new job where there is only 2 of us. So who knows how much I will get to work. I hope 1) I either get dismissed right away due to my pregnancy or for any other reason I dont care just find one. or 2) I get chosen for a case right away so I can be done. They say they last around 1 to 3 days (90%)
Next, I knew our property taxes were increasing 2000%, but I thought if we paid the difference is wouldnt effect our mortgage. Well I was wrong. We just got a statement letting us know that starting July 1 we will owe 1550.00 a month instead of 1387.00 and that is only if we can pay the 1800.00 shortage in our escrow account. If we cant come up with that money by July 1, we will owe over 1700.00 a month! Geez, think of the house I could have with 1700.00 a month mortgage... not this one in the boonies. Now I know why we people are going into foreclosure. Nancy is going to help me apply for the property tax rebate or something. The two requirements are you grossed less than 98,000 and your property taxes increased more than 12%. yeah we meet both of those.
So in addition to the 3000.00 I pay in bills for June I need to find 1800.00 AND Im on Jury duty where I get 20.00 a day. hmmm. sucks to be me.
I think all this is happening because they saw us getting caught up and we had gone to Menards to price out a deck and were going to pay CASH for it and they were like no way..... you have to have debt. So Gary was available to put our deck on the second weekend of June.... not happening. Unless I win the lottery.
Speaking of the lottery, Zack hasnt had an accident in about a month. He pooped in the potty this week at Grandma Barbs and announced to her that those two poops were for her to take him to Disney World, she responded when she wins the lottery. Zackary will now tell you he is going to disney world when Grandma wins.
Another Zack story, its been awhile, we were watching Americas Funniest Home Videos, My favorite last night, when a video came on of a little 2-3 year old girl covered in paint, the camera than fans to the wall and carpet, very nicely fingered painted,
Matt states
"Zack if you ever do that you will be in BIG trouble"
" Oh I will be in big trouble?"
"Ya"
"Whats Big trouble?"
"You would be on time out for a long long long time"
"Oh, (pointing to the wall) Is Grandma Barb in Big trouble then?"
She painted our living room earlier this year..... I just looked at matt and laughed... explain that one.
The Wii remotes have needed batteries for the last two days, I have some, but think its time for a wii break. Every other minute Zack asks when we are getting batteries, this morning he tried it a little different.
"Mommy you can do Everything"
"I can?"
"Ya, you can do bills on the computer, you can go to Walmart and buy batteries for my wii remote so I can play...." ( sly smile grows as the sentence got longer....)
What a stinker.

Candy
Im not a Cat person, I hate most of them. I really really like dogs, but we are unable to have a dog. We dont have a fenced in back yard, Matt doesnt have patience, and I dont have time. So we got a Cat from my mom ( after she paid for it to get fixed and declawed), but this isnt a normal cat. I think it knows that I dont like cats so it acts more like a dog, which is nice. Candy is chunky which I like, Zack isnt always very nice, but she doesnt care. She is not anti-social, but for the most part she will give you space, for the most part. When we come home she is always in the foyer or at the top of the steps to greet us. She will then follow us around and continue to be in the same room as we are. I recently discovered she likes coffee Ice cream from hagaan daazs and she insists on taking showers with me. I know that is weird, but she likes to climb in between curtains and sit on the edge of the shower with the clear liner protecting her. She will either sit and watch (weird) or meow me a song. Apparently she likes to sing in the shower, just not take the shower. If I close the bathroom door for my shower and open it at the end, she will be sitting outside the bathroom door giving me an evil look, she truly likes to take showers with me. Weird Cat. Thats probably why this may be the only cat we will ever have. Zack likes to refer to her as his baby kitty, she is like 2 years old and is not a baby but its really cute. "Oh my baby kitty loves me" as Zack is pulling her tail and she is running away.... "Yep Zack she loves you, but mostly if you are across the room"

Decisions
So I have decisions to make
#1 Baby stroller- I want one of those sit and stand, a spot for baby and a spot where Zack can easily sit or stand or get out to walk... Problem is I dont want it too girly for Zacky or too boyish for the baby. I found one I really like that has a car seat you can buy that fits right on it... but its dark grey and little bit of lighter grey, nice mircofiber fabric but really no pattern. Thats not the kind of carseat I wanted for my princess... I could also just buy the stroller and not the carseat and just buy a seperate more girly carseat, but then the baby really couldnt use that stroller until it was able to sit up and support its head, because its a more adult seat, which doesnt really recline. I dont want to buy a combo set and an extra sit and stand thats a waste of money. I could just buy the sit and stand and the matching carseat, but Zacks carseat was more neutral than this....
#2 decision is a name.... Matt is so ambivilent to everything its annoying. I say a name and he'll usually say its okay... Never comes up with any names either. If I really like a name is the only time he'll be like... um I dont like it.
Opinions on
Kora -maiden #384
Paige- young servant #76
Quinn- counsel #540
Kyra - lady #195
Zadie or Sadie - princess #157
Sage -wise and healthy #416
Marah - has a horrible meaning and maybe is why its so unpopular but I think its pretty -means bitter #640
and the only one Matt has said he likes Reese, but I like it Reece which is the boy version.....
- enthusiasm #159
Middle name is completely undecided
*just for Nikki on this list Rowan was #640
P.S I am getting fat
Im trying really hard not to gain as much weight as I did with Zacky, but its not working too well. It didnt help that my baby was chunky at the ultrasound weighing in at a whopping 12oz at almost 20 weeks. She does measure about a week later due date at 8/22, but since I had that blood test, and was put on the BC I know exact day of conception so its either the ultrasound error which measures exactly how much bigger she is or she really is a chunk.
7 week ultra sound was due 8/27
13 week due 8/21
20 week due 8/22 so hopefully she comes early even though the 7 week is the most accurate.
Well let me know what ya think.
PPS only I can call myself fat, you cant

YEAH!
Well we had our ultrasound and its official its a girl... Well as official as an ultrasound can be, but I had gone online reading ultrasounds to see what girl and boy ones looked like and I have a pretty good picture to tell me its a girl. He went back and checked 3 or 4 times and gave me a 99%... so pink everything here we come! Yeah I really really wanted a girl, but was okay with having another little man. Especially since Tara had Brennan it brought back a lot of Zacky memories and kinda made me want a Boy again. I have about 12 bins of boys clothes now that neither I nor Nikki will be using so.... I can finally get rid of them without people yelling at me to keep them.. Garage Sale May 3rd in Isanti I dont work and I will be participating.
I also started at Twin Cities Dental yesterday after a nice week off ( I was able to get Zack to go poop in the potty consistently and it continued to Nancy and Rons yesterday which is awesome.) We had a little set back last night but it was only a turd in the undies so Im not upset at all. Anyways back to work, we only had one patient in the morning at 9... but I hadnt been there since they set up the ops so I had no idea 1) where anything was 2) what we had and didnt have 3) some of the products are different than what we were using at SC and so I hadnt a clue how to use them... so I set up for a prophy (cleaning) he was 7 then it turned into a filling on A, luckily just an occlusal because I couldnt find a toffelmire anywhere... then an extraction of F.... geez. Three different set-ups, plus it was the first time I was going to do digital xrays by myself... I thought I had everything set up like the lady showed us, but my bitewings turned out really light... and at the end of everything he asked me to take another PA of the lower teeth on this little boy because his adult teeth hadnt been coming in for awhile which is fine, but then I had to reset up the digital machine which takes a second and then I just thought I would click the mount that I had used for his front teeth xray I had taken at the beginning, like an idiot. It turned my lower upside down! Duh it was an upper anterior mount I had chosen, but Dr and I figured out how to flip it, but that was my struggle with my first and only patient. But I decided in all of that, that I really will like our office... We are providers now for all insurances so come on down!!! We also scheduled 6 appts yesterday so about 1 a day for the next week... I a little scared of Saturday because I will be alone to do front desk (entering and start up of a patient!) , lab, and ops... one patient should be fine but if we have more... yikes.
I also got my last paycheck from the Smile Center today :( and my last bonus check Tuesday, but since they paid out all my vacation I really only worked one week I got about 1400 and plan on paying off my Target.. yeah!
While I was typing this Zack went poopy in the potty YEAH!
The way scheduling works for this clinic I end up having 5days off 5days on which I think is pretty cool!
This whole blog has been a Yeah, so lets throw in one more yeah for good measure all these days off has made it so I am almost caught up with House cleaning and laundry... YEAH!
