Stuff
So I'm posting when I should be sleeping but I have this awesome thing called pregnancy induced insomnia. I'm soooooooo very tired but can't sleep. Ug.
Church today was great...we had a lot of people there. Lots of new people and a few faces we know but hadn't seen at DR before. One of our new pastor's spoke for the first time and it was a great talk...I learned some stuff I didn't know and he did a great comparison of the Jewish Passover lamb and Jesus. It is amazing to me how much of the Old Testement law and reqirements for things like the Passover lamb totally reflect who Jesus was so many years later...
Brad opened up the first music set with a nice and loud version of U2's Beautiful Day and then played 2 songs he wrote. The second set was rockin' too, with some quieter moments in between for reflection...In Christ Alone was amazing. The creshendo at the part of the song lyrics talking about Christ's triumph over death was perfect...the entire congregation responded and it was very moving.
On the home front, we finally went through our pictures and decorations and put some stuff on the walls! The house looks great and it feels good and almost complete now. We've still got some organizing to do but it is coming along nicely. When we have some extra money (yeah right...) I am hoping to get a nice curtain rod for the living room and decent curtains, but that will probably have to wait until this summer when I get some extra birthday money or something.
Our 6th anniversary is this weekend! My parent's are taking the kids from friday at 11am until sunday evening. We are having a weekend away at home...friday we may paint the bedroom and Saturday we will re-create our first date and go to Laconnor and then out to dinner. I am just really looking foward to relaxing together, taking naps when we want, sleeping in on Saturday and only having to get myself ready on Sunday morning! Yay! It will be a much needed break and a nice time for it before I get too big to do anything fun.
The baby-in-utero is doing well. She's a girl if you haven't heard yet and she's moving around a ton now. We still don't have a name, so if anyone has any suggestions we are willing to hear them out! She will be born the last week of June via c-section hopefully at Providence if my insurance kicks in this week. Otherwise I'll have to deliver with my community health center doctor at Cascade in Arlington which would suck...I love my doctor there but that hospital is not equipped at all for neo-natal intensive care so if there is any kind of emergency they will have to move the baby to a hospital in SEATTLE! Stupid! So pray that insurance is approved so I can see my Providence doctor that delivered Kaeleigh, since he knows all of my previous complications and such.
Kaeleigh is walking like a champ now and I even got her first steps on video! Yay! It is the cutest little walk and she still falls on her hiney a lot but she's a trooper and never gets frustrated. I get so many compliments on how good she is, like in child care at church. I'm so blessed to have had 2 kids be such good babies, my mom is rooting for me to have a colicky screamer this time so I know what she went through with me. Thanks mom, but I had some issues having been adopted and in foster care for 6 weeks with an old lady who gave me orange juice (a newborn...orange juice? Crazy lady...) made me cry myself to sleep at night. So no wonder I was a crier! This one will be great, even if she is a handful, simply because she will be our last...tubes will be tied after she is delivered! Not so say we won't adopt an infant ever but this is the last biological baby to grow in my innards. I am so ready to be done with pregnancy!
Loren is doing good in school, but we put in for the lottery for him to go to the co-op next year instead. He'll get more one on one instruction with the parent volunteers and be able to cultivate his strengths and work more on his weaknesses. I really hope he gets in. It will be a struggle to find someone to watch the babies once a week so I can fullfill the mandatory 2 1/2 hours of volunteer time but it should be worth it. If anyone feels like babysitting a 3 month old and a 21 month old for 3 hours once a week next school year, let me know! It would be in exchange for home-made apple pie and cookies...
Well, the dog has accosted most of my side of the bed and Sprite is snoring on brad's stomach...it's all making me pretty drowsy. Night!

Happy almost anniversary!!! :D It sounds like you have a great weekend planned. :)
I have a suggestion about the curtains though - I've been thinking about curtains for a few of our windows too, but nice ones are pretty expensive, so I'm thinking of making them myself. They might still be somewhat pricey depending on the fabrics, but I'm sure it'll be nothing compared to what the stores charge once someone's sewn a couple of seams into them.
Also - I know I sent you my baby name ideas awhile ago, but I wanted to share the names my brother has come up with for his future girls: Regina or Berginer. With both "gin" syllables pronounced with a stong "I" - appropriate and mature, no? The boy shall be Scrotos (the magnificent).
My point: ANYTHING you pick will be better than that. Except maybe Placenta. Or like, Fatticakes or something. Or Catherine. Which apparently rhymes with "bathroom" according to the kids at one of my elementary schools.
Love,
Catherine Bathroom
