more news

so, I went to the doctor on friday and when the student doctor measured my stomache (uterus) she said she put me at 33 weeks. (no, I'm not supposed to be at 33 weeks, I'm due on March 10th) Which is what I told her. She proceeds to check my records and mentions that according to the sonogram I had a couple weeks ago, they say my due date is February 7th. Umm...okay? So the doctor come in and measures me again (just to be sure) and says I measure at 34 weeks. She proceeds to tell me we will stick to the february due date, and if Ethan hasn't come by then, we will wait it out. Great! I have a due date expectancy that ranges a couple weeks before February 7th (you know, if he comes earlier than his new due date) until a couple weeks after March 10th (in case he comes a little late of his old due date!). That, folks, is too wide of an opening. It's not fair. Not to say I'm complaining about them knocking off a month of my pregnancy. By all means, go ahead! But I would like a little more certainty.

In any case. He will be here some time. And he will be here a little earlier than expected, or he will be a 10 pound giant (which wouldn't be a big surprise with m's birth weight being 9 1/2 lbs)

Later! I can't come until the end of March and I want to squeeze him when he's little. Well, as little as he'll ever be...

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
