A few things.

1. I had a big, ugly blow up directed at Jeff last night. Poor guy. I'm glad he loves me even when the ugly comes out, and can forgive me. I'm thankful for a Father who lovingly softens my heart to see the ugly that is there. I'm thankful that he who began a good work will be faithful to complete it.

2. I ran in my first 5K race since having Judah. I pushed the stroller, and was really just hoping to be able to run most of the race. Since it was such a small race, I actually ended up winning my age division (which was maybe like 3 people, but still) and finished in almost exactly 30 minutes. I think that is actually a better time than my first ever 5K race back several years ago, so I was pretty excited.

3. A good friend whom I've known since elementary school is about to adopt a baby girl! Her family is having an online auction to help raise the funds. Head on over the website to check it out! There even might be a few little sewn items made by me....

4. We're headed up to Seneca today to spend Thanksgiving at my parent's house. Yay! If Judah would ever fall asleep and take his nap, I might even be able to get ready to go.

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 -

And Then There Were Three!

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
