April Fools!

April is going to be one busy month, so this may very well be my only post for the month.  Let's hope it's not as busy as I'm expecting.  This weekend we're doing Harper's 9 month/Easter photos on Saturday, then on to Omaha on Sunday to meet Miss Emily Ballou, who was born on March 3rd.  So excited to meet her!  And I'm excited to see her parents as well I guess :)  The following weekend is Erich's brother's wedding in Hildreth (near Kearney).  We leave Friday for the rehearsal dinner, so we're making a pitstop in Hastings to visit my Dad and Grandma.  The following Monday is Erich's birthday, and I think we plan on a nice lunch, then he's going to golf, and I'll likely nap...Harper?  Probably at daycare.  Don't judge.  The rest of the weekends involve a golf tournament in Kearney (just Erich and some Pikes), Easter, family visits, and getting our house ready for my nephew's graduation party.  Ugh, I'm tired just reading this.

Harper has been having some sleep issues recently, she just can't seem to get into a routine and is up at random times.  Some days it's 5-6, some nights it's 1230/1.  Then sometimes she goes back to sleep immediately, others she's up for good.  It's starting to take a toll on all of us I think.  It could be due to teething, or an upset stomach, or too small pjs, who knows!?  I may regret saying this later on, but I'm ready for her to talk!  I should just quit complaining, everyone else's kids are sick and getting tubes and constant infections; I can deal with a little sleep issue I guess.

I ordered some pictures of Harper the other day; I hadn't done so since November, so I wasn't surprised to find a huge box when I picked them up...I guess 200+ photos don't fit in the regular envelopes.  I just have such a hard time choosing pictures, so I order them all!  I got a steal from Walgreens on them, so no worries.  However, my failure to choose pictures is the reason Erich will be accompanying us to JC Penneys tomorrow for Harper's pictures.  I may be a little more decisive with someone other than the sales clerk giving me their opinions.  Now will I take it?  Who knows...

I haven't uploaded any March photos yet, so I'll have to leave another post with just photos.  I forgot I had uploaded some videos from when she was teeny tiny, so here's a link to one (and will lead you to my account, and other videos).  More to come there :)

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 ...

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 ...

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...
