Wow homestead blog... It has been a while!

Well the truth is... my homesteading has gone on hold. First there was third trimester. Every time I would scrub or clean my floors I would go into braxton hicks. So I bummed out on homesteading. lol

Now there is a little baby in our home. And WOW... my home making is even worse! Yikes! I am at the newborn stage where all he wants to do is eat and poop and use me as a pacifier. Please let the slings come in the mail soon! I had a super awesome sling from and online work at home mother. My sister in law borrowed it and it was misplaced. She did buy me another sling to replace it but it is not working. It is a HARD shelled padded sling. Baby slides around in it. It is almost like holding a mini bassinette on your lap. totally NOT practical for doing housework.

So I contacted the WAHM who did my sling. She is not making new slings but has 8 left to sew up. so I got TWO! Once her slings are done she is done making them. It is a Wise Women Sling. They are so amazing. I cannot wait to get my replacement ones. Then I might get back to being more productive.

Here are a few pics just to update you on the new little man who is at our house! Wyatt Daniel Born 11/20/08 at a whopping 9#4oz. No epidural or pain meds. And PRAISE GOD I did not have to be cut and did not tear. So no stitches. PHEW! First baby Alyssa was only 7#8oz and I did have to be cut for her. The boys I got out free of stitches. I think that is one of the most painful parts of recovering. Taking care of your bottom. so it is really nice to be free of that burden.

Ok the pics.
