Harper's 2nd Birthday

I suppose I ought to tell you about this special day before the details get away from me. The week leading up to Harper's birthday was rough. Erich was out of town on a man-cation in Vegas, and Harper was teething pretty hard core and I ended up with a 24 hour bug...but we powered through and had a fun time with the family.

The theme was Sesame Street, in case you don't pick up on that from the pictures. Harper loved all the decorations and snacks we picked out. The party was at 3:00, in hopes that she would be well rested from a nap. Backfire! As family arrived for the party, she was still pretty sleepy from naptime, and stayed rather quiet for the majority of the day. But, I could see her little smile peek through from time to time, so I think she enjoyed herself.

Playing with the poms!

Each flower had a picture of Harper, and then some were "factoids" about her 2nd year

Can you believe we didn't get any pictures of her in front of this thing?

Yes, I made this cake...

And this one too. The awesome cupcakes were from PJ's! (Daycare enjoyed them on Friday)

Let the festivities begin!

With Aunt Heather & Cousin Hailey

This streamer came from the clearance bin at Dollar Tree. Dealio!

We did the cake at the very end after supper...ugh, we were so tired and full!

She found a way to eat a few bites anyway!

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...
