Harper Update

The procedure went better than I think either of us hoped.  We were at the center by 6, and home by 7:45.  I think Erich was thinking it would be like my gallbladder procedure, where he waited for about 3 hours, and recovery time was close to another 3.  They had her prepped and ready by the time the dr arrive.  He likened it to the Runza drive thru, in reference to time spent there.  And boy, he wasn't kidding.  By the time they were done, all I had time to do was check facebook and leave an update, maybe 7 minutes, tops.  She was pretty upset when we got back there, which we expected.  I gave her a bottle and she was still pretty ticked off.  I finally got her to sleep and the nurse came in and it started all over again.  I felt bad for a guy who was also in recovery, as he was surrounded by three crying kids.  I'd have asked for a different recovery space.  We got home and she took a very short nap.  However, she woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to play and talk and laugh.  She was in a great mood all day.  Erich had to go into work at noon, so Harper, Abbey and I had a nice lazy afternoon in the living room.  We played, watched movies, and most importantly, napped.  It. was. great.  I can't remember the last time I did that, and it was long overdue. 

Today I am also off with her, and had plans to either go to garage sales this morning, or visit the zoo.  Both were reconsidered when she woke up at 5:45.  I finally got her back to sleep after a bottle, but that only lasted until 7:30 or so.  She finally went back down around 11:30, so I got a quick shower and some food in before she's back up.  Maybe an afternoon trip somewhere is in order.  Have a good weekend all! Here are some pictures of her and Abbey helping Erich fix the deck steps.

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 ...

My ego is prego

Yup, it's official! I am about 9 weeks prego! We found out at the end of August, and have slowly been telling people as we go. I've been feeling good, no morning sickness. I am always tired and hungry, but nothing sound appetizing. Well, except for turkey sandwiches slathered with mayo and tomatoes. Yum. We've had two appointments, one for my initial test, and another where they took all my blood for testing (well, it felt like it was all my blood anyway). They also found that my heart murmur had gotten worse, so I had an echo done last week. Everything was normal, so we're thankful for that. The tech even tried to find the little fella, but no luck that day. I also found out I'm Rh Negative, which means that my antibodies will most likely attack the baby's red blood cells upon birth, so I have some shots in the bum to look forward to. Both of our family's are very excited, and have already started collecting items for baby KIP (I stole this from the...
