In Omaha

We are in Omaha! We arrived yesterday around 11 am. We had a great day of shopping at Bass Pro and Target. I must admit that Brad was extremely efficient in Bass Pro. He had his typed list with item, color, price, and quantity needed all ready to go. I was impressed! We found Peanut its first bass -- a cute little stuffed large-mouth bass. It is even the green color we love. :) Happy Valentine's Day, Peanut! The best part of Bass Pro was that we left with tons of merchandise without paying a dime! Thank you, gift cards!! Woo hoo! Brad thinks he has almost everything he needs for this fishing season now! Target was good, as well. We actually found the car seat, pack and play, swing, and stroller that we want. It was a good learning experience for us! Babies R Us should be interesting!

After shopping, we went out to eat at Applebee's...yum! We then tried to find Gordman's. We found the distribution center! Ha...why would they put that in the GPS? Then, we found one that had gone out of business! By then, Brad made the decision that we were going to the hotel and nowhere else. :) No biggie! We have all day today!

Today, we are hoping to meet up with some friends that are in town for a gun show. Then, we're off to Babies R Us and Gordman's. I am so happy we decided to come yesterday. Carroll County is in a winter weather advisory for blowing snow (shocker) today until tomorrow morning. Plus, it has been nice spending time away from the drifts of snow! Omaha doesn't have near the amount of snow we do. And, who doesn't like to get away for a weekend?!

Tomorrow, we will check in at 7:30, meet with the genetic counselor at 8 and the doctor at 10:30. We are hoping for an informative and positive experience!! I will update the blog as soon as possible after the appointment.

Love ya,
Kari
