first playdate

Chris and Johnathan had their first playdate today. Okay, so meeting up was more for us moms. We had a great time!

losing my edge

Today, I had to think for about 20 minutes to come up with the drug name doxazosin. That is the formulary medication for benign prostatic hypertrophy at the VA. I must have prescribed or refilled that medication hundreds of times at my continuity clinic at the VA, and I forgot it. I don't know if that is knowledge rapidly escaping, or mommy brain, or chronic sleep deprivation, or some combination, but it is a little scary how fast I am forgetting things that I knew. I do hope to do some moonlighting later on this year so I actually remember some medicine.

visiting the Pennocks

The view from the back yard. The rocks are at Roxborough State park. I went there yesterday in hopes of finding a trail to take the stroller on, but the trails were too bumpy.

back on the grid

So. . . . I have been without internet access for the past two weeks, since we moved in to our house. It was hard at first. I had some internet withdrawal. Did I mention we didn't have TV, either? So just me, the baby, and a bunch of boxes in the house all day. It's hard to move with a young infant. I wouldn't recommend it if you can avoid it! But this was unavoidable, unless we were going to stay at the Breakers, and we just didn't have enough room there. We are all doing well. Chris is getting bigger! When we visited Nate and Angie in the hospital, I took Chris to the nursery and weighed him. He weighed in at 9 lb 0.4 oz! Putting on weight like a champ. Three of these pictures show him sleeping. That is deceptive. That is the easiest time to take a picture of him. He was sleeping for 4-6 hours a night last week, but for the past two nights he has been up all night. I don't know what happened.

Johnathan James Pennock

Johnathan James Pennock was born on July 25th, Angie's due date! He was 7 lb 15 oz. We visited them the next day. He was a very well behaved little guy, just let everyone hold him and didn't seem to mind all the commotion of visitors.
