Farmer's Daughter

I'm actually kind of sad that Farmer's Daughter was left to such ruin. It would have made such a lovely house. The kitchen had a pantry off of it with a window in it. I always wanted a pantry with a window. The bathroom was sunny and cheerful. There was a living room and a dining room and a center hall with a staircase. Upstairs were 3 good-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom had another little room off of it which would have made a great nursery for the baby. There was also another little room at the top of the stairs which would make a good laundry room or half bath.

Unfortunately, Farmer's Daughter is in such ruin. It would take a very dedicated person to bring her back. The bones of the house are good, but everything else is shot.

Farmer's Daughter sounds like a DREAM. I tend to be somewhat of a real estate junkie too! We have an arts and crafts style bungalow, in town, that was built in 1932...it's SOLID OAK, as sturdy as the mountain ridge that it sits on. But just like Farmer's Daughter it was in bad shape, but we only paid $5,000 for it (it didn't even have running water or heat) and then it took us at least a year to get it to the point that I would call liveable...all while we were living in it LOL. It still needs more work...especially new siding...but I love that little house and miss it. The cottage we live in now is almost as old as our other house, but it's poorly built and decaying rapidly...it's the opposite of the other house, it looks nice but the innards and bones are not-so-good....

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some ...

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a...

1 Week

Baby Boy is one week old today! He's doing so well and we are all smitten with him. I am amazed at his growth and progress in just 1 week! Baby Boy is a quiet lad who only cries when it is necessary (at least so far). During his wakeful times, he enjoys staring at patterns or his mommy. He's great at turning his head to look around and listens intently when I sing. He's not the strongest feeder, yet and prefers multiple quick snacks rather than spaced out dinners. His umbilical cord stump is almost ready to fall off. He likes to be swaddled and loves being held. So much so that when I do hold him, he falls asleep almost instantly, but if I put him down, he wakes up. Not all the time, though. :)
