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.

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...

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...
