Yay! High Speed Internet!

We took a huge leap of faith this month and got rid of our home phone. I already have a cell phone, dh has one through work and we got the kids a phone with my parents family share plan so it seemed a natural step to just get rid of the home phone. It's working ok although we've had a few glitches like when my phone got dropped in the toilet and I had to use the kids phone for a few days. It meant leaving the kids home by themselves without a phone. It might be a good reason to get a insurance plan on my phone.

Anyway, we used the money from getting rid of the home phone and put it towards internet. LOVE IT! I can finally start watching the fun videos from Utube that people love to pass on. I can also navigate much faster which means I can keep up on my blog better and keep up on others blogs too. The transition from no home to internet took us a few weeks plus the laptop, where all my links are, is dying so I haven't been able to update for awhile.

I've started going to births. I'm now up to grand total of 8 births attended. I know, not much, but it's a start. The hardest part is leaving my baby when he is sick. We've had croup and stomach issues going through the whole family. Not fun. So far, though, all the births have been either at night or on the days dh is home so it hasn't affected my family a whole lot.
