Random

When Harper was a newborn, we found our pretty early on she had a senstive tummy. How, you may ask? Well, she had a tendency to nurse, then puke down my shirt. Good times, let me tell ya. So, fast forward 20 months.  Tuesday night she had an odd mixture of dinner: chicken fried rice, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and a clementine. We also had a bath, where she drank a ton of bathwater, as well as some lotion. She went to bed fine, and Erich and I settled in to watch New Girl. About 10 minutes later she was crying, so Erich went to check on her...and I hear through the monitor:
Erich--Harper, go to sle...what is that? Did you puke? OMG you puked. OMG Susie, she puked. A lot. You should probably come up here.

So, poor girl had puked what we thought to be all her dinner, all over her bed. Out into the tub, wiped down, changed, and laying with me. She had kind of fell asleep and I was carrying her back to her room when Wave 2 hit.  Erich had just gone downstairs with the laundry, and she lost it all over my chest, down my shirt, bra, you name it, she hit it. But amazingly enough, missed herself. I put her down in the bathroom where she proceeded to nail both rugs, but not the toiliet. So then Erich got her cleaned up, I rinsed my clothes and self, and then set up a bed on the floor, and also added a towel to her bed.  She fell asleep pretty easy, so back to bed she went. And about an hour later, 3rd time is charm...smart girl though, she must have learned over either side of herself, because she didn't get any on her.

She must have been in shellshock or something, because she didn't say a word the entire time, nor did she want a pacifier. She would kind of nod if you asked her a question, but otherwise she was mute, which is strange for her.  We put her down the last time around midnight, and I knew she was feeling better when she woke at 4--puke free--asking for her pacifier.  Ugh.

So Harper and I had a sick day yesterday. We watched Sesame Street, and some other interesting PBS shows, who knew Martin Short voiced the Cat in the Hat? Kind of annoying, not going to lie. Then after her 3 hour nap, we ran to the library, where we ran into some friends, so that was fun for her...and me. Got some new books to try out...and I can already say this. The book, Score one for the Sloths, not a great read. The illustrations are funny, because they're sloths, and I like sloths. But the storyline was not so great. Trust me here. Curious George Visits the Chocolate Factory, on the other hand, is a go. But can you really go wrong with Curious George? That monkey is just crazy.

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...
