7 weeks to go...

So, I am seriously bad at keeping up with this, and I get the feeling it won't be much better once little Kant gets here. Le sigh...

I guess not much has really happened since my last post, other than my ever expanding belly! I chopped off all my hair, which is apparently something you're supposed to do post birth. I guess I'm a rebel, but I'd rather know if it's going to be easy to do before I have another person to take care of. Crazy me I guess.

The nursery is up and ready to be operational. We're slowly acclimating Abbey into the room and the toys. She is still pretty obsessed with some of the smaller toys, especially anything that makes a noise or has stuffing. Oh dog whisperer, if only your tips of submission worked! She gets obsessed and it's hard to drag her away. We're getting better though, and I guess we really won't know how she reacts until the time comes.

I'm also getting everything ready at work for my leave. Apparently everyone assumes I'm going into labor early, because they're freaking out for me to get things documented already. Chill people! It's not like I won't be checking email, I'm too anal not to check it, even during maternity leave.
We started childbirth classes a couple weeks ago, and the final class is next Monday. It's a group of 6 couples, and I think we're evenly paired. There's a couple who are "older" and a little more mature; there's a couple who are quiet; then there's us and another couple whose husbands are 15 and like to giggle throughout the class. For example, I'm pretty sure they both tested out the birth vaccum on their arms and legs just to see the hickey mark it would leave. And I've been very curious about the birth video; all you ever hear is how horrible they are and blah blah blah. I have seen worse things on TV than I saw in this class. It wasn't pretty by any means, but it was about 5 seconds of a crowning then birth. Rather anticlimatic. Erich was grossed out, so maybe I'm just desensitized from my obsession with TLC and Discovery Health.
I have my first official baby shower this weekend (Erich's mom threw an impromptu surprise shower over Easter, which totally surprised me). My friends are throwing it in Papillion, and I'm excited to see everyone. I have another one on May 15th, and am hoping I can last that long. Eh, then I guess we have a shower post baby, worse things could happen I suppose!
I guess this is good for now, as I am falling asleep trying to thing of what else to say, and getting kicked in the babymaker. Good times...

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 ...

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba!

Back at it

When I started this blog, I knew my number one issue was going to be consistently updating it.  I didn't think I'd take a 4 year hiatus,  yet here we are... I stumbled into a friend's post, which motivated me to get back into the writing vs just scrolling--i.e. Facebook and Insta etc.  I make no promises to be timely with posts, but I'm hoping with Booker in preschool in the mornings (and school full time in the Fall-gulp) I may be able to make a better go of it. After a lot of deliberation with Erich, I decided to leave my job after 14 years.  It was a tough decision, because I really enjoyed the people, but the work itself had dwindled due to other circumstances, and I was bored.  So bored.  And the more I sat in front of the screen, the more I grew to hate the job.  So it was time for something new.  I had always wanted to be a stay at home mom with Harper, but financially it just didn't work.  Fast forward 6 years and we found we could ...
