So really I haven't been doing that much over the past few weeks but yet I've still felt like it's been extremely busy, extremely stressful, and I'm just exhausted and haven't had anything to blog about! I'm hoping this new week offers a fresh start for us and a brighter outlook than last week turned out to be. The week started to go bad by Tuesday because I got really annoyed really quickly with Zachary's doctor's office. With my doctor he told us about a year ago that he was going to start praticing neonatal medicine in Portland and he would only be in the office a few days a month. So I've known that I need to schedule my appts in advance which is why when I called the doctor's office to schedule Zach's well baby check up I scheduled it a month and a half in advance. I was asked over the phone which office I preferred and I told them and thought everything was peach keen. Well we had Asa leave work early on Tuesday to meet me at the doctor's office and when we got there on time for our appt we were told that our doctor was not in this office today he was at the other office. I explained that I had made this appt a month and a half ago and I was told it would be at this office. The receptionist called the office where he was at today and told them that we were on our way to visit with the doctor. After we hauled butt through town to the other office we got the kids unloaded I went to the front desk only to have them tell me that the doctor had an appt that he had to go to so I could come back at 4 this afternoon. I said no I couldn't come back at 4 because I would be at work then and she got really snippy with me really quick and I was getting rather pissed with having driven all the way across town just for them to tell me he couldn't see Zachary today. I then got on the phone with the appt center to reschedule and the soonest they could see Zachary was a month away and I was not willing to wait another month so I rescheduled with a different doctor hoping that maybe I'll like this other doctor and will possibly switch pediatricians. So we rescheduled and went to see this new doctor this past thursday and I absolutely disliked this doctor! He did not talk to Asa or I at all, didn't explain anything just basicially wanted to get in and out as quickly as possible. I was less than impressed. And as it turns out he told us that Zachary has an ear infection so I was then given a prescription and sent on my home after they gave Zachary 5 shots in his leg. Zachary was not a happy camper at all. I have to take Zachary back next week to have his ear rechecked so I am going to see Zachary's normal pediatrician and hopefully talk to him about who he would recommend if I was to choose to switch. I really love his pediatrician but with me having a new baby coming I don't think that the doctor can be or wants to take another patient when he's not in the office that much and I want my kids to all have the same pediatrician so we'll have to see. And to top off that bad day the next day Asa was late to work and they decided to let him go. When I had went on my vacation to California Asa had trouble getting himself up to go to work and they told him if he was late one more time that he would be let go and so two months went by and until last week he was on time. But that day he was only late by 30 minutes but I guess that was enough and he is now jobless. I'm trying not to stress out too much right now but it is definantly got me worried because his job was our main source of income. There is absolutely no way that we can live off my income alone so I'm hoping he'll get a new job quick. He put in a resume at a different airplane manufacturing company so hopefully he'll get an interview this week with them. And if this other airplane company falls through I'm at a loss for what we are going to do...But on a brighter note we thought it would be fun to take the kids to the monster trucks this weekend. I had forgotten how loud those monster trucks could be. Luckily we went with our friend Nick and he had brought ear plugs for everyone. Zachary and Connor's ear plugs didn't fit too well but they were better than nothing. I think we had to put Zachary's back in his ear at least 10 times because they kept falling out. I thought Connor would've enjoyed the monster trucks more than he did but he seemed less impressed with everything and he was already asking when we were going home after the first 45 minutes. And then Zachary was even more unhappy about the monster trucks than Connor. The noise level was too much for him to handle and after two hours of the noise he hit his breaking point. He was crying uncontrolably and nothing that Asa and I did would comfort him. I was more than happy when it was over and we could all go home. But my kids slept wonderfully that night for me and I got to sleep in so it all worked out! Not much else going on with me, I'll be posting some new pregnancy pics hopefully this week when I get them edited into my computer. We are still at a loss for names but hopefully we'll come up with something soon. I'd really like to put a name to the talk about this baby espicially with my children.

He can always come out to T-Mobile. They have pretty flexable schedules and the pay is decent enough. Plus there's room for advancement there and the medical benefits are awesome! Good luck!
