Baby stuff

Today was the big Ultrasound. All the kids came. I took them to Burger King before hand. (I couldn't find McDonald's.) I got them the kids' meals which is very unusual. They had a blast with their new toys. Caitlyn was very intruigued by the ultrasound and baby stuff, but none of the other kids cared. We are having a girl with the official due date in mid-June. (Read: baby will be born late June or early July.) Caitlyn has a name all picked out- Eden. We will see. Now I have to finish crocheting the baby blessing dress I started when pregnant with Ben and it gives me new reason to fix up the storage room- I can find and sort all the girlie clothes. I just love cute little pinks and purples.

I guess it's been a while (again)

The computer has not been set up and fixed yet, but Aaron got me the other computer so I can access the internet and print stuff off the internet. He found out the 4 memory cards were not compatible with each other, so he sent them back to the company, which gave us 4 new memory cards. I think Aaron has been running tests and such with the computer. He is in no hurry to restore me to all my great stuff. I cannot upload pictures until I get that computer back.

We had a great Christmas. Then my parents came. They bought us a new dining room table and chairs. We're very grateful. We can now fit our whole family around the table and have room for company when they come.

The kids returned to swimming lessons. The first three were in the day as usual, but they only did level one stuff, so I got the kids transferred to evening lessons. The time is a pain, but at least the kids are getting appropriate lessons. Eric is on the verge of swimming. Emily swims. Caitlyn swims well and is learning new strokes of breaststroke and butterfly. Karen is in level 1 since she's taken the class four times already. She's teeny and very immature, but she has the skills for level one.

Benjamin has become the disagreeable toddler. He doesn't want to take naps, go to bed, change diapers, or put on his pants. He is a good boy, though. The other day I got fed up with him kicking me, so I gave him his pants, told him to put them on, and left. He stayed and attempted to put on his pants. After awhile he was willing to have me put them on. Well, time for bed!
