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 -

For all those who have been looking for news... we have news! It's a boy!!!!!! Judah Anthony Tell was born last night at 6:15 PM. He's a healthy baby boy with light brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was 8 pounds, 4 ounces, and 22 inches long. Both Judah and Aubrey (and Jeff) are doing well. "She bore a son and said, 'This time I will praise the Lord .' Therefore she called his name Judah. " Genesis 29:35

The "Go" Bag

Our bags are packed and in the car. This, I assume, ensures us several more days before the little one arrives. :) Even though my bag is already in the car, I decided to do some research on what the mighty expert known as Dr. Google would have to say about it, just to make sure I do have what I need. There were obvious things, like something to wear home, something for the baby to wear home, a toothbrush. (These I could figure out for myself.) Then there are some outdated things. For instance, almost every list I saw told the dad to bring "change for a payphone, calling card, and a list of phone numbers." Since when does someone these days need change for a payphone? Every 15 year old pregnant patient I've delivered has either made a phone call or sent a text with in minutes of giving birth. Even my Mennonite patients use the cell phone in the delivery room. And they all also still say to bring camera and film . Which also seems like a somewhat quaint suggestion. I did se
