Just wanted to give everybody an update on how Steph is doing with the second pregnancy and all. While she is definitely in the throws of enduring some rough 'morning, afternoon and night' sickness, we are thankful for a great new doctor. Dr Alan Fisher down at Portland Adventist. Cool guy, laid back, caring, thoughtful, experienced, willing to do whatever it takes in terms of getting Steph comfortable, willing to make referrals for pre natal echocardiograms even though he's only known us for five minutes. Yeah, a big thank you to Jason and Tobi for recommending him. Oh, and at the last appointment (yesterday), we got to hear Little One's heart beat. That's one healthy ticker.
In other news, had a big garage sale last weekend. God blessed it like crazy. People came out of the woodwork. Made a healthy amount of dinero and got rid of a bunch of stuff, including big furniture items. Which will prove most helpful when we move in a month. That's right, it's summer... and that means moving. :-)
Seriously though, we are moving to an apartment complex that's a five-ten minute from my work. Plus it's a smaller place which means less rent per month and an easier time corraling Munchkin.
Which brings me to my next topic: Elizabeth is fully mobile now. First it was an army crawl. That lasted a week or so until she learned that her knees can be used for locomotive endeavors. Now that she is in full swing with her knees, she seems to alternate between a pure "all fours" crawl and this kooky three legged kind of thing where she only uses one kneeand, with the other leg, she propels herself with her foot flat on the ground. I don't know how to describe it. It's hilarious to watch though. All that combined with her quickly mastering the art of standing up should lead to her walking soon. And when she gets walking, we'll have her start helping out around the house. :-)
Last thought for the night... okay, question really - what are some good, unique girl names? We've got a boy's name all picked out and ready to go, but we still haven't been able to think of a good girl name yet. Something unique or a more common name with a good history/story behind it. Ideas?

My name has a lot of history....
DO NOT tell me the boy name is hezkihah or however you spell it
Love ya
The boy name is going to be Hezekiah Allen. That one's nailed down. We'll call him 'Ki' for short.
I'm so glad your new doctor is treating Steph well. A section on the Social Security website tells you the popularity of names over the years and shows how many babies were named what in the last year. It's pretty cool. Maybe you'll find some ideas there and be able to see the common names that you want to avoid. Here's the web address http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/
Emily, good call. I like it a lot. Call her Ellie for short. Yeah definitely; Steph and I have thrown into the mix.
Jeana, cool deal. Gonna load up the page right now...
