2/25/11

I've been working from home yesterday and today, and I am missing human interraction.  Yesterday it was to test our disaster recovery system (basically make sure tripling our remote users wouldn't cause problems with the system).  I got a call around 2:30 to pick Harper up as she was running a fever.  Got her home, gave her sometylenol, and she was fine.  Temp went down.  Then she slept like crap last night, up ever hour or so, and woke up with a slight fever again.  At first I chalked it up to teething, but daycare sent home information about RSV, so now I'm worried about that.  Erich is with her this morning while I work until noon, then we'll switch.  So far she just seems cranky and tired, but no coughing and lower fever, so that's a good sign.

We got hit with about 5 inches of snow yesterday :(  I was really hoping this weather was over.  Maybe this will be the last snow!  A girl can dream...or go to Vegas in a week, I guess that works too.  I'm excited and nervous about it.  If Harper is still in this moody state, I'm going to have a hard time leaving her. Who am I kidding, I'm going to have a hard time leaving her regardless.  This may be the first time I've actually dreaded going on vacation.  Let's hope I can get an attitude adjustment before next Friday.  I took Thursday off to spend with Harper, so hopefully that helps. 

Abbey keeps wandering from room to room today, utterly confused as to why her normally quiet house is full of people.  She'll go to her bed, then be roused by me typing or one of Harper's toys.  You just can't please this dog.  Usually she tries to go to work with me, and while I'm perfectly find with that, I think others would tire of the barking and face licking. 

A friend of mine is due with her first baby any day, and will be induced next week if nothing happens before then.  It really makes me miss being pregnant.  Yeah, the pokes and prods and blood draws sucked, so did the special diet and constant urge to pee. And of course, the labor sucked.  And even though after the horrible labor I turned to Erich and said next time we're adopting, I'd totally do it again.  I loved being pregnant.  I'm not saying this to hint at anything, because Harper is more than enough for us right now.  Just saying...Good Luck Ballou Family!  Can't wait to meet your awesome baby :)

OK, am going to try again to get some February pictures up. Most are on facebook now, so you can also check them out there.

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...
