Mario Kart, Wedding Cake and a trip to Omaha

Erich & I celebrated our one year anniversary on Sunday. We had a pretty low-key anniversary weekend, compared to what we planned on. I ruined everything by getting sick on Friday, so our plans to go to Omaha Saturday night for dinner and drinks sort of went out the window. Saturday we spent mostly at home, I went to some garage sales with my mom so Erich could sleep in with Abbey. I got home and we then headed out to use our new Sam's Club membership. I swear the jar of cheese balls followed us everywhere, but never quite made it into the cart. That night we watched Gran Torrino, and then I gave Erich his anniversary present early--Mario Kart. Everywhere we have gone he's wanted to buy it, and I've had to convince him each time not to since I had it hidden at home. So, we stayed up way too late playing that. Sunday we went to York for some church, and picked up our leftover wedding cake from Erich's parents. We had so many compliaments on this cake, and both of us didn't really get any, other than our staged first bites. It was pretty tasty, even if it was a year old and not packaged very well :) We both had Monday off so we slept in a little and then headed to Omaha for a zoo trip. We figured it would be pretty slow since it was free admission all weekend. We we're way off. By 10 it was packed; maybe this is the norm for a Monday morning, but I doubt it. We had a good time nonetheless, the animals were pretty sleepy though. Except for the golden headed tamarin who got up close and personal during a picture; they were jumping behind my head and Erich is just laughing. I'm pretty sure I'm eyeing that little guy in the picture. The rain also held off until we left, which was nice. We then went to NFM to look for lamps--funny thing about our house: no overhead lighting in most of the rooms, so we have come to buy lamps whenever they're a good deal. We found a set of 4 that will work, so we were happy with that. All in all, good times. My sister is in town this week, and then we're watching her kids this coming weekend while her and the BIL are going to MO for a canoeing trip. I get the feeling it will be a Mario Kart and delivery pizza weekend. I was planning on Star City Shores, lets hope the weather cooperates.

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 ...

8.18.10

Well, our first week of daycare and work went great!  Harper really seems to enjoy herself there, she eats and sleeps and plays well.  And I've been busy at work so it keeps me from dwelling on her all day.  We had her two month check up on Monday; she weighs 12 lbs 2.5 oz, and is 23 inches long, both in the 75th percentile.  Her head size, which escapes me, was in the 50th percentile.  She has great neck control, and everything else looks good.  She also took all 5 shots like a champ!  She cried some, but I think part of that was hungry cries...we agreed that we've heard her cry worse when her dinner was late! We spent this past weekend in York for Great Grandpa Kant's 91st birthday.  We had fun swimming at the pool; all the boys end up trying to outdo themselves on the diving board, and then the little girls try to mimick their older cousins, uncles and fathers.  Harper hung out with Great Grandma in the shade, but I think she wanted in t...
