Here comes the weekend from heck

Not Really. I mean, it's the feast of Pentacost, and the last Lifeteen for the year, so it really is a blessed weekend. But it's also a very very busy weekend full of a lot of hard work, and this week I have been so very tired from the pregnancy, so I'm not looking forward to it.

Tonight we have Joe over for dinner and a movie to celebrate his birthday. I made ribs and mashed potatoes, and Matt picked up eclairs and ice cream. For the record, I don't think I will ever again buy the pre-cooked, pre-barbeque sauced baby back ribs again. I bought them for the convenience factor, but even though Matt and Joe thought they were great, I know I can make better ribs than than. These were not as tender or as spicy as I would have made them.

Last night we had date night, which consisted of meeting him for dinner at Uno's and then browsing at Babies R Us because we have a few 20% off coupons. But once we started looking around we both realized that we were well out of our depth when it comes to deciding what we "need" and what we should buy now, vs waiting until we get closer. We wound up leaving with a few ideas, a few adorable items of clothing for Illeana, and a firm resolution to do more research on this stuff before our next shopping trip.

Today I had my first official prenatal appoinment with Dr. Claussen. He tried to find a fetal heartbeat, but since I have a tilted uterus, it seems my pelvic bone was getting in the way of the doppler, so no heartbeat. He is scheduling me for an ultrasound either tomorrow or Friday, so "watch this space" for ultrasound pictures in the next few days or so.

I thought Uno's closed? Where is there an UNo's?

On Amherst Street in Nashua. It's not too far from my work, and from 4-7 pm, they have "single-sized" apps for $3 apiece. So we had an egg roll, small pizza skins, nachos, two big salads (which were not $3) and drinks for $24. The apps are small, like, between 1/2 to 1/4 the size they normally are. But it really is a good deal!
