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 ...

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...

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 ...

Keeping up with the Kants
