I've got the fever...

and I've got it bad...and it really doesn't help that all these people around me keep having kiddos.  And I'm also not helping myself when I go on pinterest and just look for cute baby stuff...le sigh.
Erich has the fever, see!

In other news, we've been kind of lazy lately, and are definitely looking forward to September where the only thing we have planned in a new baby niece or nephew around 9/19 (international talk like a pirate day mateys). Oh, and my birthday, of course.  We had a "surprise" shower in York last weekend for my sister in law, and had a nice weekend with Kant family kiddos. It could have been sunnier, but really, I didn't mind the shade...it was a nice change of pace. 





Harper started swimming lessons at Lifestrokes here in Lincoln last week, and she loved it.  It's small groups of mom/dads and the child, and they start with small things, like getting wet, holding their breath, floating with mom/dad.  I dropped the ball, (kind of, I still don't think this is my fault) this week.  They changed the class time to 1/2 hour earlier, and I didn't get the voicemail.  Well, I got it, but my gd phone doesn't always alert me of missed calls or messages, particualarly when the battery is low, which is always...so, long story short Wednesday night we left there in tears (Harper because she was disappointed to not get to swim, me because I was mad because my kid was not going to swim and because of the schedule change, don't judge)...so we went home and filled up her pool, and she was happy as a clam.  So now we know for next week at least.

Harper also got her first official haircut. I cheated on the fantastic gal that does my hair, mainly because it was kind of last minute and I had a coupon...risky. But she did a nice job, and now she can see out from under her bangs!








This weekend we're going to bbq with some friends, then go see a baseball game in Omaha. Going to be a nice night--it's farm night, and the first 2000 people get a cow bell.  Maybe that will cure my fever...

Don't be fooled, it's not done...




Our cowgirl...Yee Haw!

I've got the fever too, Susie :( I've also gained several pounds of "sympathy weight" for all my friends who have had babes this year! Ha!

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll

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
