Dirty 30 and Harper's 3 Month Birthday!

Well, September 9th was a big day in the Kant household.  I turned 30, and Harper turned 3 months.  To celebrate, I took Thursday through today off...just because, no plans.  It's been nice, but I'm kind of ready to go back to work...especially when my list of things to do today includes mowing and grocery shopping...luckily I knocked the groceries out after I dropped Harper off at daycare...yeah, I'm a bad mom.  But I can't clean the house and do yardwork with a baby and a dog, it just doesn't work.  And she likes daycare...and I don't know why I'm so defensive it's probably not that big of a deal to anyone else.

So, back to my birthday. Erich and I had some dinner and then met up with some friends at Harrahs to rock out to Huey Lewis and the News!  He put on a good show, but like all artists refused to play all the hits that made them what they are today...No Hip to be Square, which is my favorite song by him. Oh well, I guess he didn't realize it was my birthday or something :)

i think he was playing the harmonica or something here


I also took Harper to get her 3 month pictures taken; she didn't smile for a single one! We had about 30 shots total, so it wasn't too difficult to choose the final pics.  We went to to Portrait Innovations, which while it was ridiculously hot in there, the pics were good and the photog wasn't bad. Next time I'll take Erich to make her smile.

I actually just took a break in the blog to go rake and mow--when the moment hits you have to sieze it.  So now I am hot and gross and full of fly bites.  Sounds like a good closing for this week!

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...
