Harvest Time

The month of September has just flown by.  Wow, it is a little over whelming when we look back because we only have about 4 months to finish getting ready for our new little one.  I knew that once October came our time would just fly because of the Holidays that follow.  I decided to do potato harvest again this year and last week was my first week.  I asked the doctor and he said I could, for all your worry warts out there...and for the most part it went pretty smooth being the first week and all.  I did run into something new this year that was absent last year do to pregnancy, its a beautiful thing called swelling.  I didn't know that swelling hurt that bad, I just thought that your legs, ankles and feet got puffy but there is pain involved with that too.  So needless to say I have been drinking as much water as I possibly can (keep in mind that I am now a farm girl and toilets are none existing thing in a field) and I am eating lemons, limes and grapefruit to help control the  expecting pains when your expecting!  But enough moaning about the pains of pregnancy, I can feel the baby more and more every day and he is so much fun already.  I think we are going to have our hands full and he is going to be a little rug rat...like his daddy, but it is going to be a fun and challenging new chapter in our lives here at the Bird House.  Blaine is kind of slowing down a little bit with farm work and now comes the most important time of the year...Hunting Season!  Well whatever floats his boat, it is definitely not my thing to hunt but we are as opposite as night and day so we were obviously meant for each other.  He is entitled to do his fun and fulfilling things and I will do mine, this was an unspoken agreement when we first got married.  It is fun to see him get so excited, like a little boy, to go into the mountains and take his "cool toys" and spot a monster he is going to get this year.  I hope he just has fun as he enjoys his well deserved break for once and he better enjoy it now because come January no breaks for him. He will be at my every constant breakoning need. Well that just about updates the Bird house happenings.  We hope all of you are doing well.  This is our favorite time of the year when the weather cools, the air is a crisp smell, the leaves are changing into their beautiful colors of orange and red and we get to reap the benefits of what we sow...We hope you are all having a Happy Harvest too!
