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.

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...
