Friday before the weekend

-
I got to hear the baby's heartbeat today! It gave me a sense of peace in my mind that the little one is still chugging along, even though I don't always feel so good. And I haven't gained much weight. One pound. 14 weeks. The doctor isn't concerned, so I need not, right?
I knew I shouldn't have posted anything yesterday about no hives. I went all day without a Zyrtec and then, boom, right before bedtime they come out of hiding. Bummer. I think it might have something to do with either the cold I am getting or the flu shot I had earlier in the week. Last time I got sick I had them. My weird body.
This weekend we will hopefully be working on the deck. It is a mud pit now. Maybe we can get in a small game of mud football before the cement is poured. The boy would love that! Oh, and there is that small thing about costumes and candy ... I think that is tomorrow... the kids will let me know.

    So... on the hives... I have a good friend who had them her entire pregnancy - then they found out it was an Rh factor incompatability thing and she had to be on special medication to protect the baby for the remainder of the pregnancy.... I'll have to ask her about that.

    There really is nothing quite like hearing that little heartbeat, is there? One of my favorite things was seeing my son's teensy tiny perfectly formed fingers on the first ultrasound at 9 weeks gestation - I didn't know before then that the hands would be perfect by then. Wow! God is amazing!

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Saturdays

  The last few Saturdays at the farm have been busy ones. We've had a number of people out weeding the garden, stacking firewood, hoeing garden areas, planting garden areas, watering garden areas, cutting grass, and brush.... And we are almost done with suckering and painting our newest orchard. We're down to the last six rows (480 trees). It may sound like a lot to some but considering all the rows we have done I'm excited that we're down to just a few! After this Saturday I'm hoping to move on to another Farm project When my dad was alive he was in charge of when to plant the garden, and other Farm chores around the place. This year has been a bit of a learning curve for all of us, figuring out when to plant, how to repair things, and just do all the millions of jobs my dad did out on the farm. For some reason in some of the crops we planted not everything came up. I feel like we would have been enjoying fresh lettuce and some other vegetables by now. It was almos

The summer has been a dry one for us, which means a bit more watering on the trees and garden. We are finally seeing a lot of garden produce for harvesting. Cherry tomatoes anyone??  My farmer has been preparing the orchards for harvest. This includes a lot of dust. He comes home each night after being on the tractor, with enough dirt on him to start another garden. He is getting the ground as smooth as possible, as stick free and weed free as possible, so when we go to harvest the nuts, we aren't picking up anything else. I think I heard him say we are just about done with watering our trees, and the nuts should start dropping soon. In some countries they actually go out and shake the trees or pick the nuts by hand. Here we get to use machinery which I think is a lot quicker and easier.
