Back to Blogging

A few years ago I blogged quite a bit, and then it tapered off. Maybe it was because I was in a new relationship, and then that turned into the time consuming planning of a wedding. Now it seems I have more time on my hands, so I might as well start up again.


Erich and I were married almost 2 months ago. The big question everyone asks? How does it feel to be married? My answer is always, The Same! We have been living together for more than a year, and unofficially for about a year before that. We know how to live with each other, so the only adjustment issues we're having is finding room for the 20 decorative bowls we received as wedding gifts. Luckily, we're storing majority of the gifts in York until we get a house.

Onto that topic. We started house hunting about a month ago; we knew that that was our next step. We have a dog-Abbey, and want to start getting our stuff organized, and it's hard to do that in an apartment. Plus, Abbey has a bad habit of getting up early to pee, so it would be nice to just let her out into the backyard, instead of one of us having to get dressed, find her collar and leash and poop bag, and then try to get back to sleep for the last 20 minutes before an alarm is going to go off. If anything, she's preparing us for parenting :)





So, back to the house; we found one we both knew was "The One". We have looked at it, and decided to make an offer the following evening--on my birthday :) Unfortunately, someone else made an offer, so we had to act quickly. We ended up bidding more than we wanted to, but won out. So, assuming everything goes according to plan, we'll be moving in sometime in November! Woot. We're both very excited, and can't wait to get out of this apartment.
So, I'm hoping this blog will be a good tool to communicate with our friends we don't get to see nearly as often as we hope. Oh, and we have no plans to get pregnant any time soon :) We've both agreed we want to wait at least a year, but if something were to happen, we're ready for a little one...

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which ...

I never said I was a great correspondant....

..but almost four months between posts is ridiculous! I have no good excuse other than sheer laziness...that and I hate the way blogger posts photos, and it usually irritates me enough to delete my post anyway. So I will try to be better! I'll give some updates of what's kept me so busy, but I have no idea when they happen--I can't even remember what I did last week... Furniture shopping...Erich and I were under some strange impression that we had this wonderful discount at NFM for furniture through Home Real Estate, so we scoured that store at least four times looking for bookshelves,living room sets, entertainment centers, tvs, deep freezes, kitchen tables, hutches...you name it, we looked at it. And we could not find anything we liked, and by the end of the visit everything had merged into one big lump of data; my photos and notes taken throughout the trip looked like another language. And almost every trip ended in us bickering and leaving upset that we couldn't ag...
