FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

@Baymule i have four wraps purchased already.

My aunt jokes with me she can see me slamming the baby down on top of the rabbit cages to change the diaper then shoving it back into the wrap and getting back to work! Or rigging something up so baby can come ride horses with me.

DH and I have already discussed squeezing the baby into the show schedule with the bigger boys.

We have three more shows this year we’re trying to hit but the last two may be “interrupted” by my tiny human. I wouldn’t mind. I’m excited to meet him.

Later today when the sun comes up I’ve got to waddle around and fill feeders / drinkers and do head counts on the birds. Hopefully some of the for sale birds leave this week.

Some are being dispatched to the freezer Thursday.

oh my... you are a bit crazy having all those does bred... and being so close to your baby time! We used Abetta buddy seats for our kiddos once they are about 2-3 years..when they can hang on a bit, before that they were held infront of me. I know I have pictures must be on the tablet though. I'll see if I can find them. I have ridden with 2 kiddos, one in front and one behind... fun times. glad your mom is able to stay with you.

Please tell me that DH gets some time off around the arrival of the little one!!!


I wish I was closer! I’d love to have Connie and Maddie!!! Being without an LGD is horrible. Saw a fox yesterday across the road and a coyote half mile away on Saturday morning. Ugh!

Connie and Maddie will be a permanent fixture here if I don’t find them the right home. I’ve had them for four years. They’re my girls. I just know they would prefer to be working. Maddie guards the front porch feverishly these days. Hahaha. Connie stays with the chickens and rabbits. Connie is ruthless. She’s a wicked thing if you don’t belong here.

@promisedacres my nephews learned to ride by riding in front of me until they could balance then riding behind me.

Somewhere I have pictures of my oldest nephew on my crazy pony riding in front of me.

My hip has been killing me and I spend about 20 hours a day laying with my hips rested in a special position.

That forced rest must be killing you!

I may or may not have accidentally brought home these guys

You have to stop leaving the door on the truck open. No stowaways.

I have six does due this week, and seven does due in 30 days.

That baby will be out with the animals one day after it arrives!

Girl you have a full schedule even without being pregnant and your hip splitting in two! I have a visual of you with one of those baby wraps, where you wrap up the baby and wrap it around you, it's hands free! I can see you outside feeding animals and doing what you do, toting baby along like it's nothing. LOL LOL

Bay beat me to it!

One of my poor bantam hens laid a JUMBO PLUS egg today.

An egg of this size would be considered XL out of a standard hen. The egg literally was half of this hens body weight. I had to weigh it twice.

See that tiny egg to the left? That's her normal egg size. Hahaha.... The brown eggs are out of my black australorp hens and all average around 20oz ( normal sized eggs ).

I have finally finished last minute preps for the babies arrival. We have two choices for come home outfits ( depending on size ) but I'm hoping he's regular sized so he can go home in this:

Crib is together, car seat installed. Diaper bag packed and ready.. my personal go home bag is packed and ready. All we need is a date! I'm beyond ready to meet this tiny human I've been growing all these months. I'm also ready for my hips and back to stop hurting.

Ahhh cuteness!
All my kiddos came in the same outfit. Still have it.
