December 20 - Wrapping Party




Instead of going straight to bed when I got home from call today (my usual routine), Jeff and I FINALLY got our Christmas presents to our family finished, boxed, and wrapped. You can see Lucy especially enjoyed helping with the wrapping. Then I went to bed and Jeff dutifully took everything to the post office where we got it all mailed. There is at least a small chance that things might arrive by Christmas.

Some year, I'm really going to have my act together and get our presents mailed early, and maybe get out some kind of Christmas card.

That is not going to be this year.

Intern year is not the year to be concerned about it. I don't even have to go to work and I can't get all my presents to the p.o. in time ... of course I have had ice. And snow. And more ice. And a boy who needed an extra nap on the day I was finally going to go. But SOME people might at least get our Christmas cards on time.

bro--

this pic of you wearing shorts in december inspired me. I too am wearing shorts today, proudly.

This is really not that big of a deal, as it is projected to reach 56 today! But, there are still vestiges of snow in our yard, with 2 more inches predicted for tomorrow, with a high of 33.

But for the meantime, I am enjoying my cargo shorts.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
