Pooley's Pumpkin Patch

Stop the presses! Two posts in a week?! I know, I know. I figure I might as well get these pics out here before it's December and no longer relevent. We visited this nice little patch in Bennington, NE yesterday. A longer drive than Roca, but I think for Harper it was the perfect place. They had a few animals--Harper had a death grip on an unsuspecting chick, some bunnies, pigs, goats, sheep and ponies and a corn silo, which she loved. Daddy vetoed the pony rides, and she was not happy. Luckily we offered her snacks instead and she got over it fairly quickly. Enjoy the pics!

Checking out the chicks

Erich explaining why we don't squeeze their necks

Harper trying to pick a pet

Gentle touches was our phrase of the day

Corn Maze!

She led us through about halfway then wanted to be carried

Bunnies!

She was giving it a "hug"

Asking strangers to pick up bunnies for her

Weird pig thing

Real piggies!

Feeding the sheep

She did smile, I swear.

Fail

Our little pumpkin

She HATED this swing

Pumpkin patches are bor-ring.

Then she was stuck there

Our stylin pink tiger.

Awwww

Driving the safe looking tractor

I got this Dad.

Erich had to try it out

Throwing corn around

Whoa!

Right before I got corn in my face. Her way of saying, Stop taking my picture Mom!

Erich's punishment for trying to throw corn down my shirt, and pelting me in the face in the process.

Action shot, hey look at me I'm standing on this ledge!

Hey, I'm over the ledge, look at me!

Hey, hey guys? Hey? I fell, can someone help me up?

Feeding chickens

This little boy was sharing his corn

Aaaaaaaaaaand, end scene.

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...

Keeping up with the Kants
