Expecting at TaterHill!

Last night after Bobby got home from work, he put a chair outside for me so I could get some fresh air and spend some time with the doggies. I sat in the chair while Bobby unloaded a truck load of hay. Our neighbor sold his horses and is selling his hay to us for $5 a bale...that's a bargain in the the South right now so it's a blessing and it's nice hay!

Anyway, Bobby let our Springer, Mollie Bea, out for some fresh air as well. She's been living in a whelping pen in the barn. She's expecting along with me! Mollie Bea is due any day now and should deliver by April 5th at the latest. She has gotten HUGE over the last couple of days and already has milk. I thought it would be cute to have a picture of Mollie Bea and I taken since we are both waiting for our babies to get here! hahaha So here we are....

We are also expecting some rabbit litters to be born in April....a litter of mini lops, a litter of netherland dwarfs, and a litter of lionheads. Last night, we allowed our Springer, Montana, to mate with Buddy so we will also be expecting another litter of puppies to be born in May. And our pygmy goats, Solomon and Connie, are together so we should have pygmy goat babies around August/September.

Bobby surprised me last night with flowers and lemons....yes...flowers and lemons. It was so romantic...here's why.....The flowers of course were to cheer me up. I'm having a hard time being on bed rest and not outside with the critters. Well, Monday night, we learned in childbirth class that adding lemons to your water removes sodium from your body which is healthy for you especially if you have high blood pressure and swelling. SO...not only was Bobby listening but he remembered that and brought me lemons! How Sweet!!!
