This is me with my hand on Daisy's belly, my hand is actually feeling the baby! Any day now she should calve....her udder is full, and everything else points to "soon". I did feel the baby last night, it was higher up, but not in a birthing position (yet).
I'm also waiting on the weather....we are to get snow again. I'm not even going to worry about putting anything in the garden for a few weeks, temps look to be cold (below freezing) at night for awhile anyhow. I will concentrate on the plants I have inside for now, and get more seeds planted/started. I had two volunteer tomato plants come up in some mint I dug up last fall and put in pots in the house. I have no idea of what kind they are, so it'll be awhile before we have an idea if they are cherry or 'regular' tomatoes!
Kyle is doing lots of classroom work now.....and is nearing completion of his AIT. I think he's ready to get back here and get a job and finish up school plans. I try and remind him to take things one step at a time, and not get the cart ahead of the horse! ;)
Jared and Chandra are doing fine, her belly is growing as well! :) I have a 'care package' I need to send them of goodies and baby/maternity clothes I've picked up. I miss them, I wish they weren't so far away!
Patrick and I have been busy, working, and puttering around here working on stuff. There is always something to get done......we got our steer back from the locker, and had to get another smaller freezer to get it all to fit! That's the good thing, the bad thing is it has to last for over a year or more. Feast or famine....that's the way it goes!
And I've meant to write on here several times in the past month, just didn't get around to it!
HaHa...you KNOW with snow coming she will proably wait and have it in the middle of THAT...although I guess sometimes they actually do behave and wait. But...for the most part, I always figure that when the babies will be born! LOL Gotta love new babies!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI soooo can't wait for spring to actually show up here! :-))
Janene, I hear you about the garden. I'm soooo ready for digging in the dirt to begin but it looks like that's not happening for at least another two to three weeks. There will be no potatoes planted on Good Friday this year. I have to content with tending my little broccoli and cabbage plants that are now one month old. I might be able to get them outside in another month. The ground just isn't any where close to being warm enough to plant any thing yet. This is a very different year than it was this time last year. The Spring has all the ear marks of going from cold spring to hot summer with a really short transition time. It makes for a big time crunch for garden prep and planting.
ReplyDeleteI pray that both babies will become a part of this world without complications.
Have a great day on the farm.
