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.

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

34 week belly pic!

34 weeks...going on 35! (weird shadow makes my hair look big on top... but doesn't offset the belly growth...haha. Mom does need a haircut though.)                                 31 weeks                                                    23 weeks                                 20 weeks                                                    17.5 weeks          13 weeks We've had our last baby shower . I think we have just about everything we are supposed to need for this kid. Dr. says everything is moving along great...both Mom & baby are healthy and right on track. I get tired, toss and turn occasionally at night, my arms fall asleep at times, and recently the squirmy worm likes to kick me in the back, sending shooting pain down my sciatic nerve pathway! (fun when walking really)... but I know that it comes with the territory.  Things I'm looking forward to...besides the little guy and all the cuddly cuteness of course... laying/sleeping

38 Weeks (and counting) Belly pic

Now we're getting antsy. I hit uncomfortable a few weeks ago...I can deal with that. Now we are just antsy to meet the little guy and introduce him to his family and friends. I think Andy & I are in fast forward mode all of a sudden, just wanting the time to fly by... Looking at pictures from last week it appears I may have dropped slightly...maybe?...maybe not? I guess I can sort of breath a little easier. I'm not waddling like many people say you do when this happens...I'm just slow...haha. I'm not nesting either. I've posted to Facebook to tell friends what I've been up to and they say I am, but really that's just me. I'm totally anal retentive and a perfectionist and have to have things in their place. This is my norm. Not anything new.  38 weeks 37 weeks As the time draws near my patients at work continue to say things like, "You're still here?" and "Had that baby yet?" (most annoying question ever). Ye
