I can't believe this is only my 4th post of October! I really need to update more often. So, here's what's new:

• I did a quick weight check on Annika today and she was roughly 12.5 pounds! Wow - she's huge! Her doctor's appointment is coming up in 2 weeks (her 2 month!) so we'll see what the official weigh in is. I wouldn't be surprised if she's 13 pounds by then! I think we'll have to buy a new car seat earlier than expected! Our current seat only goes to 22 pounds!
• Last Thursday, Annika and Kris went to work with me. They threw us a baby shower. It was so nice! Not many people could be there because of MEA (in which all Minnesota state schools have off so many people were home with their children) and various Really Important Business Things, one of which I was supposed to be at if I were not on maternity leave. As it was, we received some really nice gifts and Annika was a perfect angel - which she always is anyways. :)
• Last weekend, Kris had to leave us for the Vixen's last regular season game, which was in Toledo, Ohio. I was very sad but made sure I had plans for each day he was gone. I needed adult interaction and going 3 days without it would not have been good. So, Saturday, I spent the day at my Dad's house with him, my brother, my sister and her boyfriend. It was wonderful! We just sat around and visited, ate a very nice dinner and played dominoes. Unfortunately my mom (who lives in the same town) was at her cabin, otherwise Annika could have seen her Grandma Pat too. I'm sure we'll be back soon so that can happen.

Not much else is new. The only other thing is I received Annika's Christmas stocking kit in the mail today and I've started on it already. I'm cross-stitching one for her. I'd really like it to be done by this Christmas so I have to work hard. I'm not very fast at these things. Anyone want to volunteer to come do my routine housework for me so I can concentrate on the stocking when Annika is napping? Thanks in advance! :)
