Where did January go?

Here's Abbey maxing and relaxing in her winter sweater. It's a shock that she wasn't eating it.


Seriously, it's almost February people! Work has been hectic, so maybe that's why it felt like it sped by. Not that I'm complaining, I'm ready for this winter weather to hit the road. I have Wednesday afternoons off, and usually I have somewhere to go; today I am to home waiting for the refigerator repair guy. I tried to clean my bathrooms and the nozzle came off the bleach based cleaner and totally soaked/ruined my pants. Score one for the dirty bathrooms. Now my house is clean, but it smells like the local swimming pool locker room. Yum.

Baby fever is upon us again; this time last year almost all of Erich's college friends were expecting (well, their wives were). Now it's a new year and a new group of babies are due. Does this give me baby fever? Yes, of course it does. If it were up to me, we'd be expecting right along with them. But there's that whole money thing and job security. Responsibilities I believe they're called :)


Speaking of job security, Erich and I appear to be fine through 2009; his company has frozen all pay increases and are trying to be more green. My company has decreased the percentage for pay increases, and are trying to decrease expenses by 15-20%. My suggestion is that the people who work in IL don't need to fly out to NE, and vice versa--we have a phone system and net meetings people. We are actually required to attend a meeting today--the subject is very secretive, so I'm on pins and needles...not really. The way I look at it is that I like my job, but if I were let go, it would open some doors to try new things I otherwise wouldn't because of my job security.

The doorbell is ringing, and I'm about to go pay some guy $75 to tell me there's nothing wrong. I bet you $5.

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 ...

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t...
