As May rolled around, we were quickly approaching the due date for baby #5. Every time I went to my Midwife appointments in those last few weeks of my pregnancy, my Midwife would ask me if I was ready for this baby to come (expecting me to say yes like most women do at this stage of pregnancy) and I would always tell her “not yet! I still have more things to get done before the baby comes.”
I wanted to get the garden fence done so we could get our seedlings transplanted to the garden. We were also expecting our baby chicks to hatch (from the hatchery) and be sent to us about a week before my due date.
Luckily, Crosby held off and we really did get all of those things accomplished before he was born. Putting up fencing and planting things is not that easy at 9 months pregnant. Haha. Jershon did most of the hard work but I helped as much as I could.
End of May Egg Count: 324
Yay for fireflies – and for how darling Merv and Aida are together!!
I read this quote and knew you needed it: “Most well-behaved women are too busy living there lives to think about recording what they do and too modest about their own achievements to thing anybody else will care…Women make history when they do the unexpected, when they create and preserve records and when later generations care” -Laurel Thatcher-Ulrich
I love that you live in a beautiful unexpected way, Shelly. Warmly, -melanie-
You are so sweet. Thanks for always making my day with your comments! It means a lot to me. 🙂
