Ramblings

I'm trying an experiment to see how long Claire can last before she finally falls asleep for her nap. So far it's been 45 minutes. I hear noise, but no crying... She's going to have to train herself to fall asleep for me in the afternoon like she's been doing at night for her dad. At an hour I think I might just break down and go rock her, we'll see.

Yesterday I had my seven month doctor appointment. Today I found out I'm iron deficient. So instead of only taking 18mg of iron they said I need to take 325mg twice a day! Wow! That's a jump! Maybe boys take more iron out of a mother's body than girls? So to get started on my new regimen I snacked on some leftover steak I made the other night for dinner. More water and fiber will be needed to counteract the effects of all the iron in my system... Fun times!

Well, I think we decided on a name yesterday for our soon to be born baby boy. It's six letters long and has three syllables. Feel free to comment on your guesses. However, we may find a better name yet, who knows?

A couple of nights ago we got an email from my grampa in Hunters, WA who was having computer problems. Brian answers these questions, of course, but Grampa also shared a story about how he barely missed hitting a cow and her calf that managed to wander up onto the country road. It was dark and he has more trouble seeing at night these days. After reading his story about how grateful he was that he had prayed to God to help him not hit anything on the ride home, I realized that (and yes this is a tangent) I think it is very cool to have a grampa, aged 79, who writes emails pretty regularly. How unusual is he?

About Me

Name: Sarah

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, United States

I was a French teacher for four years, a life-long dream achieved. Now, I'm taking a serious break to raise a family. I go to a United Methodist Church regularly with my husband, daughter and son. For my future ideal job, I'd love to travel the world eating in great restaurants and write food reviews!!! Someday I'd like to live on the Oregon Coast and be a translator for French tourists! However, in the meantime I'm earning a substantial income with Jewels by Park Lane, subbing & Shaklee!
