Ahh, silence...just finished making some buffalo chicken dip for Erich's food day, while he and Harper are--hopefully--fast asleep.  I fear i may have gotten them both sick :(  I've had what I convinced myself was persistent indigestion this week...really, really bad indigestion. Alas, I think I've had, and still have, the flu.  It hit me early this year, bastard!  Last night was the worst, I was having pains that were reminiscent of my gall bladder attacks...not cool!  Maybe they were phantom pains or something, who knows.  So, hopefully I am on the mend and ready for the weekend.

I took tomorrow off so Harper and I are going to spend the day together.  I want to go to a consignment sale out at the event center, but we'll see if Harper cooperates.  We may end up staying home sleeping the day away...I think I can live with that. 

Busy weekend ahead of us, well, mainly a busy Saturday.  We have friends in town going to the game, and my sorority is hosting a little tailgate.  So, I'm going to try to fit in a tailgate bbq, get to the cucpake shop ontime, then get to the game before kickoff...I've come to terms with the fact that I'm most likely going to miss the tunnel walk...sniff. 

Speaking of the tunnel walk, last Friday my department had an outing--it included a tour of Memorial Stadium--complete with Tom Osborne cameo, then on to Brewsky's for beers.  Good time...good paid time not at work.  I am not a huge football fan, but I highly recommend the tour.  It's nothing like what you did when you first went to UNL or in grade school, it was pretty sweet.  I'm thinking of organizing a tour for my dad and brother in law, but they are rather stingy on when the guided tours take place, especially during football season. 

This is Harper's new friend Truffles.  Truffles was one of the first gifts I talked Erich into getting me Erich gave me of his own accord.  Harper loves how fluffy he is, and once she hits toddler age, he's going to make a great pillow.

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 ...

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...

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...
