Harper's 3rd Birthday

Harper turned 3 in June...I really have a hard time believing it's been that long since she came into our lives!  She is definitely growing into her own little person with opinions and she isn't afraid to express them.  She is also very sensitive, always the first to feel bad or sad for someone or something.  She loves "Abs"  (Abbey) and is so sweet with her.  She makes sure she has tucked her in before leaving each day, and loves to play with her outside.  She is still quite the mommy's girl, but she does let dad help here and there...we're definitely working on that! She also loves books, whether looking on her own or being read to, it's definitely one of her favorite pasttimes, just like her parents :)  We are so very happy to have this girl in our lives, and can't wait for what she has to bring in the future. 

For her birthday, we visited the Farmer's market in the morning, then after lunch we went to a local gymnastics facility to play with friends.  She had a blast!  Everyone definitely wore themselves out running and jumping and just being kind of crazy!  We enjoyed some cake and ice cream, then invited family and some friends over for a bbq at our place.  She got to show off her new playset that dad built, and just had fun playing with cousins until way past bedtime.  On her actual birthday, which was Sunday, she had her first soccer game...it was definitely interesting...pretty much what you would expect with a group of 3 year olds and a soccer ball...chaos! Then her Birthday fun ended on Monday with a family trip to the zoo...we were exhausted but man it was fun!

Here are some pictures from that weekend.

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...
