Snow

It is April 27 and I cannot believe that the weatherman is still talking about a chance of snow. I really am starting to believe that old man winter forgot that it is now spring. This year we are going to go from running the furnace to putting on the air conditioner. I really would like to enjoy some nice weather instead of going right from cold to hot and humid. I guess I shouldn't complain, I would rather have summer than winter any day.

BDU Pants

The two men in my life are avid outdoorsmen. It seems as though they are always shopping for some new attire to wear during their outdoor explorations. I wonder if BDU pants would be something that would be of use to them on their trips into the wilderness. These pants are used by the military and have been adopted by people who love the outdoors.

Babies

Babies, Babies, Babies. There sure are babies popping up all over the place. I have my beautiful baby girl who is three months old. A friend of mine just had a baby last September. Another good friend had little Noah in March. Yesterday, a gal from work had a baby girl, which we are all very excited about. My sister is due with a baby boy the end of may. I think it would be pretty funny if his name ends up being Lucas. Inside family joke. And than there is my boss's wife who is also due the end of May. Can't wait to meet the last two babies who are due to arrive soon and to watch them all grow up.

Thunderstorms

On my way home from work tonight the skies turned from blue to gray. By the time I got home the sky was black. My first thought was "oh know we are in for a bad thunderstorm tonight". Storms here in the Midwest can be pretty scary at times. You never know if the storms will produce hail, heavy rains, or even turn into a tornado. I am relieved that the worst of the storm went around us. I sure hope that we don't get much more rain, we really just need to dry out some.

PDA

I am the proud mom of a three month old baby girl. She is so precious and sweet. During my pregnancy it was reassuring to see my doctor using her PDA, personal digital assistant. I knew that any questions I asked about medications would be answered correctly because she would get out her PDA and look up anything I asked her. I wonder if she used Epocrates drug reference guide to answer my questions. With Epocrates she would be able to receive free medical pocket pc software, free medical palm software, and free medical windows mobile software. Knowing that my doctor would be able get immediate answers to all my drug related questions, by using her PDA, puts my mind at ease.

This announcement was paid for by Epocrates

4 Days

When I found out I was pregnant with Dru, my husband and I decided since she makes child number four that maybe I should go from five days a week at work, down to four days. So far I think this has been a great thing for myself, Dru, and my three older children. I can't believe how much faster the week goes when you have a day at home during the week to get all the things done that normally had to wait for Saturday or Sunday. Maybe now I will have the weekends to enjoy fun activities with the kids, like camping, swimming, or just lounging around and enjoying the day.

Day Care

I have been back to work now for about three weeks. It is always so hard to go back after maternity leave. Dru seems to be adjusting just fine, probably better than mom. She is attending the local daycare center here in town. I was a little unsure about having her attend a large daycare facility as my other children attended a in-home-daycare. I can definitely see advantages to both ways. So far I really do like what I see there and I only anticipate it to continue to be a great place for both Dru and Mom.

Gas Pains

I feel so bad when Dru cries and I can't fix or figure out what's wrong with her. My husband and I have tried everything we can think of to make her feel better. She doesn't want to eat, she doesn't have a dirty diaper, she doesn't want rocked, and she won't go to sleep. After about an hour the problem is solved with one large burp and a few small burps in her diaper, finally a quiet house and baby Dru is fast asleep.

Back At It

Since having the baby it has been difficult for me to do my blogging. Now that Dru is three months old I am hoping to get back at it. Having a blog is a fun way to communicate my point of view to all different people in the world. The internet is a wonderful thing. Who could have imagined when the internet was first invented what amazing things we all would be able to do.
