October

This post is going to be a big photo purge and I don't have a lot to tell.  We've been busy and then sick, and then both! Harper is getting over a ruptured ear drum and ear infection, and I had the flu last week.  Let's hope Erich stays healthy for all our sakes.   Hopefully this weekendeveryone is more cooperative so we can head to the pumpkin patch in Roca.  Luckily we already picked our pumpkins in York last weekend.  Can't really beat free pumpkins and gourds, right?! Come on nice weather and healthy family!


Our haul...well, most of them came home with us.
Hard to believe that October is nearly half gone! It's been a busy month, and no plans to stop. Next week my sister and the kiddos are in town, boo at the zoo starts (I'll admit, I'm wearing my groovy hippie costume as I type this, I'm pretty excited about it) and then Halloween.  Harper says she wants to be a monkey, and it just so happens we have a monkey costume.  Problem is that she refuses to try it on, and when we're in the store she is frozen in front of the Ironman and Spiderman costumes.  So, we'll see what she ends up as. 

We did welcome our new niece, Anna Leigh,  into the world on September 24.  After a week long stay at the hospital, everyone was ready for them to be home and we are so excited she is healthy!


 
Not a lot more to report.  Just counting down the days to December when Erich and I head to DC for a good friend's wedding, as some sightseeing...let's hope the weather isn't completely awful!  And now, enjoy some pictures.
 





This pictures freaks me out big time.

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...
