8.11.10

Well, we've made it through half the week, and I am exhausted!  I forgot how much I hate getting up in the morning; if would be helpful if my baby alarm would go off when I want it to, instead of an hour before I need to, or just as I'm exiting the shower.  I had a slight meltdown Sunday night thinking of taking her to daycare and going back to work...I kept trying to think of ways to save money so I could stay home.  Erich has narrowed it down to winning the lottery, le sigh.

Daycare is going good; they're really nice and have a good teacher to infant ratio.  It helps that she's been in a good mood when I drop her off so far.  Yeah, I drop her off, I got the raw end of this deal!  It makes more sense for me to drop her off since it's on my way to work--kind of--and Erich gets off earlier than me so he picks her up.  I feel out of the loop getting the details of her day secondhand.  Today was my halfday, so I picked her up early and it was good seeing her there, totally content playing on the floor.  Apparently they just love her, she's got a great disposition, and is very advanced for her age.  Well, we knew she was perfect, now it's not just us advertising that.  :)

Work has been weird; I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, and trying to remember what the heck I was doing two months ago.  Plus I have people asking how it's going, do I miss Harper, etc...I'm getting busy already, so that should help keep my mind off not being with her during the day.  The first day was a long one!  I also can't believe how fast time goes by once we get home; I get home, snuggle and feed her, eat dinner, snuggle and feed her, maybe watch part of a tv show, go to bed, wake up to snuggle and feed...rinse and repeat.  Erich was nice enough to handle the middle of the night feedings Sunday and Monday, and then  I took on last night...it wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a light sleeper--everything wakes me up, every noise, every movement  I hear from the monitor.  So, once she moves,  I'm up...it sucks, especially when I have to get up and be an active member of society.

So, since I had my short term disability extended with my surgery, I now have a plethora of vacation days, and not sure when I'll use them.  I can carry over 5 days into 2011, but that still leaves me with 12...I don't want to waste them on a lazy day at home, but we aren't planning any trips outside of the Dave Matthews concert next month--good music, good food, some gambling and drinking, good way to celebrate turning 30!

Here are some pics from her baptism a few weeks ago...

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...

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 ...

Well, our first week of daycare and work went great!  Harper really seems to enjoy herself there, she eats and sleeps and plays well.  And I've been busy at work so it keeps me from dwelling on her all day.  We had her two month check up on Monday; she weighs 12 lbs 2.5 oz, and is 23 inches long, both in the 75th percentile.  Her head size, which escapes me, was in the 50th percentile.  She has great neck control, and everything else looks good.  She also took all 5 shots like a champ!  She cried some, but I think part of that was hungry cries...we agreed that we've heard her cry worse when her dinner was late! We spent this past weekend in York for Great Grandpa Kant's 91st birthday.  We had fun swimming at the pool; all the boys end up trying to outdo themselves on the diving board, and then the little girls try to mimick their older cousins, uncles and fathers.  Harper hung out with Great Grandma in the shade, but I think she wanted in t...
