Ahh, silence...just finished making some buffalo chicken dip for Erich's food day, while he and Harper are--hopefully--fast asleep.  I fear i may have gotten them both sick :(  I've had what I convinced myself was persistent indigestion this week...really, really bad indigestion. Alas, I think I've had, and still have, the flu.  It hit me early this year, bastard!  Last night was the worst, I was having pains that were reminiscent of my gall bladder attacks...not cool!  Maybe they were phantom pains or something, who knows.  So, hopefully I am on the mend and ready for the weekend.

I took tomorrow off so Harper and I are going to spend the day together.  I want to go to a consignment sale out at the event center, but we'll see if Harper cooperates.  We may end up staying home sleeping the day away...I think I can live with that. 

Busy weekend ahead of us, well, mainly a busy Saturday.  We have friends in town going to the game, and my sorority is hosting a little tailgate.  So, I'm going to try to fit in a tailgate bbq, get to the cucpake shop ontime, then get to the game before kickoff...I've come to terms with the fact that I'm most likely going to miss the tunnel walk...sniff. 

Speaking of the tunnel walk, last Friday my department had an outing--it included a tour of Memorial Stadium--complete with Tom Osborne cameo, then on to Brewsky's for beers.  Good time...good paid time not at work.  I am not a huge football fan, but I highly recommend the tour.  It's nothing like what you did when you first went to UNL or in grade school, it was pretty sweet.  I'm thinking of organizing a tour for my dad and brother in law, but they are rather stingy on when the guided tours take place, especially during football season. 

This is Harper's new friend Truffles.  Truffles was one of the first gifts I talked Erich into getting me Erich gave me of his own accord.  Harper loves how fluffy he is, and once she hits toddler age, he's going to make a great pillow.

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 ...

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...
