Wow, so I really haven't blogged in such a long time... I never said here that we named our babies. I met this really sweet lady at a Mom's Night Out thing that a homeschool group here does. She lost two babies too, and she gave me a ride home that night because Harper had dropped me off. She told me it was a year later that she named her babies but that she was so glad she did. I had been thinking about it, but thought Harper would think it was too weird. But he didn't. And we named them. I already sort of named the first one, to myself, anyway, so I was glad Harper liked the name that I thought of the baby as already. So the first baby was Alex. His or her due date was yesterday and we got ice cream and mixed in candies and had a little party. I did cry, but it wasn't awful. I have had awful days, so I'm glad that wasn't one of them. =)
We named the second baby Quinn, which is cool because I like that name for a girl but Harper didn't think his brother would be thrilled if we named a girl Quinn (his name is Quin). =P lol And the other cool thing is that Quinn means #5. It was just too perfect. We didn't know if they were girls or boys, so their names work either way. =)

Cuteness & Sadness
Bekah says "I yuh-you, Momma!" all the time. I love her so much!
Bekah's also allllways saying "I'm hungry, Momma!" As soon as she's done eating, she's saying it again. =P She must be growing a ton.
I love reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to Bekah. She loves books and asks me to read to her alllll the time, but this book is just extra fun to read to her because of the cute way she says the words I leave out for her. =P We especially love the "but he was still....." "hungry!" part. She used to say "hun-gee" and we thought it was adorable. Then she started trying so hard to say the r and she would say "hun-gray." She usually still does say "hun-graaaayyyyy." Hehe!! =)
Bekah keeps bringing things to Harper and saying "Can you fix it, Daddy?" She is using complete sentences more and more. And her responses are just so funny sometimes. "Why are you doing that?" "Because I want to." lol Alrighty. =P
Last week we went for an ultrasound just for fun. I have been so sick with this pregnancy that we thought for sure nothing was wrong. I had told Harper early on that I didn't want an ultrasound because if I was going to miscarry I didn't want to know ahead of time and have to wait and wait for it. I should have just stuck with that thought because at 9 weeks we found that we lost our baby. I'm 10 weeks now, but not pregnant, but still throwing up and feeling sick and completely grossed out by kitchen smells. I have been crying a lot more this time than last time. Maybe part of that is pregnancy hormones. I am glad Harper is home to take care of the girls and me. I don't know how long it will be before my body figures out what's going on, or how much it will hurt to miscarry this far along. I was only 8 weeks last time.
This morning, I was crying and Bekah came and hugged me and said "Missin' babies?" How sweet is that? She snuggled me and kissed me and said "I'll kiss your hand, Momma!" and grabbed my hand and opened it and kissed my palm. What a cutie pie!!
The girls have been sweet and snuggly for me. =)
Oh the other day we woke up to Emily saying "Laine, don't wash your hands yet! We're still going to crack more eggs!" LOL! Whaaaaat? They were making us scrambled eggs. Emily is a very good scrambled egg cooker, by the way. Hers are better than mine. I don't know why but they always are.
Ha! And we have no TP in our house right now (we have baby wipes, yeah!!) and Lainey is calling from the pot that she is stranded... lol Which reminds me that this morning Lainey was stranded and called out "Iiiii'm straaaaanded!!!" and Bekah was eating breakfast at the kitchen table and called "Iiiiii'm straaanded tooooooooo!" Hahaha! She is SO CUTE!!
It seems like such a huge chore to me right now just to go to the store and get toilet paper. =( I hope after my body figures this out and I lose the placenta and all that that I feel normal again and capable of grocery shopping and stuff. I almost never want to watch a movie but lately I do. I just want to zone out. =\ Harp and I are watching Wives & Daughters, which is long and will last us a couple more nights... Anyway, that's all I can think of to say.
Oh! No also that someone in this neighborhood complained about the smell from the laser. I'm thinking it was probably from when Harp cut MDF when we first moved in because the letter was dated shortly after we moved in. But we don't know if it was that or doing caps. So anyway we found out we're not only in violation of the no bad smells rule, we're also in violation of the covenants because we have a workshop in our garage and cannot park a car in it. Yeeeah. So the laser is going to be moved to Harp's parents' house tomorrow and he will have to go do his lasering from there. He's been getting quite a few orders! It's really starting to pick up. It's not like it will support us or anything yet, but I'd consider it going well. =)

A Lot Happens In A Month
=) So, I can't believe it has been a month since I blogged. I'm trying to even remember what all to blog about. I don't want to miss the fun stuff because I'm sharing about the big stuff...
We went to Mexico a few weeks ago. We spent a week in Nuevo Vallarta, courtesy of Harper's parents. =) Thanks again! We met them and Quin and his girlfriend down there and mostly played in the pool and ate yummy food. =) There was a wave pool and a big slide that you go down in a tube. Bek kept asking for the "big, big slide in a boat?" =) I like how the tubes were boats. The other day I asked her what she likes to do the most and she said "boats." Such a cutie! We tried to take her out on a real boat, but it ended up not working out. So I'm glad the tubes qualified as boats. =)
Emily and Lainey both learned to swim in Mexico. They can both swim "like a mermaid" under the water now. Yay! Bekah asked to swim, too, and tolerated being pushed in between us under water. She liked being big like her sisters more than she disliked swimming. =P lol
We had a swimming pool on our balcony and when the kids got up from naps one day I let Bekah skinny dip in it (nobody can see onto it anyway). Lainey got up and I told her she could swim naked if she wanted or she could go get a swimming suit on. She was still half asleep and said "Mommy? I want to be honest. I mean... I want to be...honest. I mean that I don't want my bottom to show to people." =P Hehe! Modest? Yes. =) She is too cute!
There were these big giant Mayan idol things in the entrance and Harper's mom asked Em if she liked them. She said "Not after I read the Chronicles of Narnia!" lol She has gotten better, but she was so scared for so long to be alone anywhere. She said the movie (she's seen the first one) is not as scary as the books because your imagination can't get carried away. It just is what it is. But with the books, you can imagine all sorts of horrible, scary things. We cut her off from the books in the middle of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It's a little sad because it would be fun to finish it and take her to the movie in December, but oh well. =P She is only 5. She can grow up first. =P lol
Oh the Mayan idol things had their hands out and Lainey asked why. I said I think they are offering a sacrifice or something. Lainey said "Oh. I think they have money in their hands." =P I asked if we should try to jump up and get some and she thought that was funny. =P They are WAY tall.
Bek asked for the "sempo" - the swimming pool. And she liked the "tiny slide." There's a kiddie park with slides that she had tons of fun on. =)
We had good flights and a fun trip. =)
When we got back, we talked to the rental place and came to the decision to move. They want to up our rent a bunch and go month-to-month or up it just a little if we commit to 6 months. We don't want to do either. So we're moving to Greeley, to live in the condo my sister lived in when she went to school there. My parents will be 3 hours away and Harper's parents live in that town, so we'll get to see Grandmas and Grandpas more for a while. =) Harp is still looking for a job, so we don't know how long we'll be there. He just applied for a job back in Wichita (at Cessna or McCauley), so that would be neat if we ended up back there!
Bekah has this game that she loves - "gonna fall!" lol She climbs up on the piano bench or couch or something and starts to roll off and says "gonna fall! gonna fall!!! gonna falllll!!!!!!" and then she falls off. lol She is too cute!
It will be Bek's birthday in 10 days! I have started on a princess dress for her, but I don't think I'll finish it until after we move. We have a lot to pack, organise, get rid of, etc. We're trying to pack boxes that we won't be too sad if we have to leave behind, too, just in case we can't fit everything.
School has been super fun. Em has been liking math quite a bit better since we got to a point that she's actually learning new things and going closer to the pace of the book. Art class has been a ton of fun and I have been so impressed with the kids' drawings. Yay for the Monart book. =P
For a couple of months, Bek's been saying "do that again" but it sounds like "do-da tagain." =P So cute!! She wants to slide again, get tossed in the air again, etc. =)
We're 5 days into a dairy-free diet for Laine. Trying to figure out what is hurting her tummy so often. We are suspecting gluten now, but we're going to finish out the two weeks of no dairy and then give her a ton and see what happens (this is what our pediatrician in KS said he recommends instead of blood tests). We have a friend with celiac and her mom was telling us how her tummy hurt all the time when she was little and they didn't know why because it would hurt two days later. It's not the same for everyone, but we had a ton of bread Tuesday morning because Harper made fresh bread... And then Thursday morning she said her tummy *really* hurt. So we are suspicious of gluten. I guess we'll find out pretty soon!
Yesterday, I took family pictures for some people that found me on Facebook. They turned out really cute! We have a nasty, nasty virus on both of our Windows computers. And come to think of it the laser computer runs Windows too and it is acting funky, although not the same. Anyway we have been using Linux exclusively for 3 weeks and Harper just got another drive put in to back up a bunch of stuff so we can reformat Windows. Then I'll be able to use PhotoShop again. =)
I sprained my ankle last night and I'm trying to stay off of it so it doesn't get worse. It doesn't really hurt, but I don't want it to get bad, so I'm giving it some time. =P Em's been super sweet offering to help me with everything. =) And she and Laine have been helping a lot taking care of Bekah - getting her water and taking her potty and getting her undressed for a bath... =P They are such good big sisters!
Lord willing, Bekah will have a baby to take care of in June, too. =P I think she is going to be a great big sister, too! =)
