On My Way Homestead
Our newest little one...
Our newest little one, Calvin~
I haven't posted here in nearly a year, but a new baby was recently added to our family, so I thought I would share it for all my old friends here at HSB. This photo was taken at eight weeks (about 10 days ago). He is heading on 13 pounds now and is a very good (and cute!) baby. He gets lots of loving care and attention from his 10 older brothers and sisters. Amazingly, he appears to have red hair...my husband had curly red hair during his growing up years (it's dark auburn now); but all 10 of our other children had various shades from ash and strawberry to dark blonde.
Something different with my childbirth experience this time was that it was my first c-section. During labor the contractions were stressing the baby (long decels in the heart-rate after contractions), and when he was delivered the cord was wrapped around his neck and body several times. Not only that, but there was a knot in the cord- likely a negligible factor, but interesting nonetheless. Thankfully the Lord kept us safely and he was *perfectly fine,* scoring 9 on his apgars. I was sorry to have not been awake when he was born, and wasn't even sure he was ours when I first saw him since he had so much hair (compared to our other babies). But since there was only one other baby in the nursery, there wasn't much room for debate on that one!

Looking for Bulk Foods Links!
I am currently researching bulk foods websites and was wondering if anyone has found a reliable source for things such as bulk peanut butter? I can't believe it has risen to over $2. a pound at the stores in our area. The 5 lb. containers I got for $5.99 last summer are now up to $9.49!

Hello All,Just checking in to say "hi" to everybody. Been busy homeschooling and with the baby who is already 8 mos old. My camera broke so I can't post the most recent picture. My echinacea has come up, but I am not sure how much of a garden I am going to plant this year. Our chickens are gone, gave them to a friend at church who has a chicken farm. Working on my summer menu, that is about it for now!
