Friday Night Date Night

As "D-day" (Deliver Day) approaches we seem to be cooking less and less on certain nights. We definitely can recognize when neither of us have the energy to power through cooking a meal. At least we know to not force it. Andy was on call this past week and was called in 4 times...and didn't get much sleep. This caused me to stay up a lot thinking to myself "Don't arrive now Captain Fuzzypants. Dad will be tired..." I know sounds weird but that's how my brain works.  Found out later Andy was thinking the same thing.

Last night was the first night all week that we were able to both relax and enjoy some time together. We ordered take out from Pho Square: 2 orders of Stir Fry Pho Combos with lemon grass chicken and beef and we each got a "Freeze". I got the mango and A ordered the coconut (which sort of ended up tasting like buttered popcorn jelly bellies...not my fave but Andy saved his and plans on having it with breakfast this morning).  (*side note: weird random guy @ the restaurant when we picked up our orders, "When are you due?" Me, "Next week". Weird guy: "How do you know that?"....seriously dude....then he proceeded to ask if this was our last supper and told us we won't be getting any sleep soon...thanks jerk).




We sat in front of the TV, fireplace roaring and watched Assassin in Love, also known as The Baker (it's an English thing). Great movie. It's funny and was a good pick for a night in.


We also watched some old movies from back in the day; i.e. Game night with Boo & Ray, Game Night with Eric, Steph, Cooper & Amber, New Year's Celebration 2004 (before we were even engaged), Bonfire @ my Aunt Annie & Uncle Dan's, visiting my Dad at his job way back when in Mauston, WI and us arriving back into town to my parents house see the devastation from the straight line winds July 2003, videos of Andy's Aunt Sue (being hilarious) and Sharon (playing butt darts of course).

Boo

Dad...flexing

All in all we laughed a lot last night and had a good time. Right now I'm watching Andy make what we call One Eyed Bobs (will blog later about those). Tonight, we grill a homemade pizza and watch more movies.

Busy Weekend

I haven't posted anything since Saturday morning. The weekend was a blur. Saturday was our second baby shower. This one was hosted by my family for my family and some friends. I took a whopping 2 pictures...of Andy playing a game...My sister is sending me some pics and hopefully I'll have some from my Mom too...then I will post about the shower. In a nutshell it was wonderful. And I was completely exhausted after it was over. Sunday proved to be another exhausting day as my business, Curious Whatnots , had a booth at a local holiday market. Here are a few pics of the the set up for the day. We had a weird table that could be accessed from both sides so we had stuffs everywhere! I have two more shows scheduled right now, as I didn't want to overbook before the little guy arrives. Here's the upcoming schedule: Rockford Charity Market IV -Saturday, November 19th 10a-6p @ St. Rita's Wahl Hall (a portion of vendor sales will go to a charity of the

Our New Arrival: Meet August Andrew Eikstadt

Well it's been over a week since you've seen a post from me and most of you know that it's because we've been busy, busy, busy with our new arrival!!!! August Andrew Eikstadt was born on Monday January 16, 2012 at 12:57pm. Some of you have already heard me say this but here it is again: he was 7lbs 12oz and 20 inches of perfect. And seriously, I'm not lying. He's perfect. It's amazing to think that this little dude made his home inside of me for almost 10 months. He was born when I was 39 weeks 3days...just shy of his due date of 1/20/12. Yesterday he was a week old. it made me tear up a little to think how much he has already grown and changed since his birth day. We brought him home just last Wednesday, after a big snow storm moved through on Tuesday. Augie did great on the car ride home and has already had his first outing to the Dr., in which he was a champ for the appt (which just so happened to be another day with

Augie's Birth Story

So it's taken me a while to sit down and write about this. We've been adjusting to lots of new daily adventures. And every minute of it has been a blast. I can say I have no complaints! Life as new parents is great and I can only see it getting better. We're adjusting to our different sleep schedule which is really helping our mental health...haha. Andy heads  back to work on Monday next week and I can say I really will miss all of the help that he has provided Augie and I over the past three weeks. He's an amazing husband and father. So here it goes- Sunday, the 15th, we slept in, ate left over pizza for lunch, celebrated birthdays at Andy's Grandma Jeanette's...I ate something like three different kinds of cake and ice cream (and I think I went back for a second round of sweets), hung out at my parents for a bit, then came home and ate macaroni and cheese, from a box. Not our usual day of fairly healthy eating, but that's what we had. After dinner
