My sister Thora posted this and it said that zero people have her name in the US. I am not sure how that works though since obviously she is a person so shouldn't it say one?? I used the name Camilla Nelson and it said the following for me:

HowManyOfMe.com
LogoThere are
20
people with my name
in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?
However if i put in the name Camilla Stoutner ( my maiden name) it says there are zero of them in the US. So i guess I was more original before i got married, maybe I should start using that name again? :)

Singing the Computer blues.....

Well I have been wanting to post but sadly my computer died, and all my pictures on it. It was working fine ( well except constant loud humming sound and the fact that it ran as slow as a snail) and then it just shut off sudenly while being used and would not turn back on. It was a sad sad day. I had all these things to post about and now you all will have to wait till I get some pics up again!

But on the up side I got me a brand new computer and its just beautiful! I have a 22 inch flat screen, which seems enormous after my old school square white clunky 16 inch screen. ( it was 8 years old) Not to mention the new computer is so much faster and now i can do all my favorite online things quicker since I wont have to wait so long for the computer to think. I usually have a big panic attack when ever i buy something but I guess I was okay with this since living without my computer would be like living without oxygen, man i am so codependant! And like most life and death situations money is not an issue, right? :) Even though the computer and we got a computer desk and even upgrades that Soren put on my computer to make it better (ram and other things i dont know the name of!) the total we spent was 1000. But it was a good time of year to get a new computer.. Dont you just love tax time? Well unless you are one of those rich people that have to pay money to the government.. but then again i dont feel bad for you becuase you are rich!

My older brother Soren who is a computer genious, took my old computer to his house and he called and told me that he was able to save my pictures!! So Wooooo hooooo for that! He is going to come over this weekend and so then i can access all my pics again, and then upload the ones that i want to post about!

Oh and just thought i remind you all that my ultrasound is on March 7th.. can hardly wait to see our little one and start the naming war again! March 7th is also when we meet with Porters Psychologist to discuss his diagnosis together. Cory just got the whole day off becuase after those two appointments we are going to go to my regular baby check up too. It will be a long day but hopefully a great one and we will come home knowing we have a healthy baby and with hope on the "plan" for Porter.

Preschool ( and getting a diagnosis)

Porter showing off his brand new back pack. He picked it out all by himself. Cory tried to get him to want an orange, blue, grey, or red one but porter was insistant that he wanted purple!! I think all the other parents at the school think i am weird to give my child a purple backpack but hey its not hurting anyone and it makes him happy!

For those of you that dont already know, Porter was evaluated and diagnosed with PDD-NOS (pervasive development disorder not otherwise specified) This is on the autism spectrum. They did say that he has alot of the qualifications for aspergers so to read up on that. Becasue of his delays he qualifies for free preschool through the school system. He has been going for a few weeks now and really seems to enjoy it! He goes tuesday and thursday from 9-12. If you want to know more about his delays you can read about it at this links:
Basically porter just has a really hard time with changes to his routine, new people or situations, large groups, and communicating. He is a smart kid and we enjoy him but sometimes wish that others could see the happy easy going kid he is at home while in his comfort zone. Somedays i get really frustrated with him and it makes me sad that he might never tell me he loves me. I also would love to gets hugs and kisses every night from him, but i am lucky to get a high five most nights!
disclaimer: the spellcheck on here is not working today, so sorry!

winter walks

i am not personally a fan of long walks in 20 degree weather.. however porter gets so stir crazy in the house day after day so we have started to venture out. This is his new bike that he got from santa on christmas. After an hour or so riding his bike he always is much calmer the rest of the day, so its worth it to be a bit chilly!
Theo is not a fan of the walks either.. and fusses and cries till he falls asleep.



My little drummer boy

For Christmas Cory got the game rock band from his brother. Its a video game that has drums, guitar, bass, and vocals. Theo thinks its his toy, and wants to play the drums all day! He is pretty good too! hurry up and put my game on papi!
yay!
