Dry Spell

And once again I'm here, wondering how nearly a month can go by without updating the blog. We had some vacation (Yay!!), saw my younger brother graduate from medical school (double yay!!), and then came back here and had to get immediately in the swing of things (boo!). I'm not sure I've completely recovered from all that yet. Hopefully I can get some photos downloaded from the camera and do some photo posting, which seems to be about all I have the energy for these days. Even just working part time and having two kids - that is some serious business.

In other news, the resident I was supposed to work with today was in a little car wreck (he's fine) and so today I was back rounding by myself. I had almost forgotten how to dictate a discharge summary.  I had forgotten how nice it is when you have a resident around to do all the paperwork and write all the prescriptions. I wasn't quite able to make all the phone calls I needed to today, and I also think the SC hospitalist Dr. Tell would have managed to get one more discharge today, but I did the best I could.

I also seem to be having a dry spell in the dinner making department. If anyone has any easy and delicious favorites, shoot me a comment. I should probably attempt to resume some meal planning, since lately my plan has been to stare into the fridge starting about 4:30 and try to conjure something up from what I can find.  I think I need some ideas to get my excited about dinner.

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
