One More Week

Til Miss Skylar joins us! Supposedly.
The doc says things are progressing but there is nothing saying I am headed towards an early labor, which is fine. I am so over being pregnant but not yet ready to be a mom. Such a conundrum. haha

We got the insulation in the attic so that is good. I haven't heard any mice, so the latest annoyance is the stink bugs, but at least they are just annoying and not harmful to me or the dogs...

I re-potted the tomato, Aloe & Strawberry plants I got from the farmers market today. I am hoping some survive... I saw little clover things sprouting from where I planted some cucumber seeds and radish seeds. I don't know if they are sprouting or if it's completely unrelated. I am such a novice! Practice makes perfect. I hope. So in ten years I might have a clue!

I saw some of you planted garlic. I need to look into that, since I ADORE garlic!!! I don't know how the planting of that works though. Yet.

I shall leave you with a picture of the snake tail that gave me a heart attack. Ron seriously didn't see it for a minute... I don't understand men and their lack of vision sometimes. If the snake had boobs I am sure he never would have missed it.

And here is a funny one that makes Kraymer look huge. Granted he's 95 pounds he will always be my little man! And he looks bigger than he is here...

I hope you are all having a great weekend thus far!!!

Exciting! Can't wait to see your baby - the human one I mean. Boy, that sure is a huge (and cute) dog.

I LOVE the name Skylar!

How exciting for this next chapter in your lives! And that snake tail is crazy! What kinds of snakes are slithering around where you live? Jeezus!

It's every woman's right to have a baby! And you are gonna be a wonderful and loving mother.

OK, your week's up. Where is she?

I always used to say that is why God made the the last month of pregnancy. By now you're thinking, anything to get this going is fine by me. I think it was when my husband was putting on my shoes because I couldn't see my feet. And after each meal I would suffer so badly. I was sooooo happy when labor began! She will be here before you know it.

Good news! Glad I checked in on you. And I'll continue to check. Otherwise, I don't regret leaving mybloggers. Gardening is an ongoing adventure and learning process. Don't give up or lose faith. Yes, I put garlic in everything (except coffee and cereal!). It's so good for you. I wonder if your baby will taste it?

comment by solitaire on Apr 24, 2013 6:06 AM ()

I come back and check as well! I like my friends here but they are my friends on fb as well. Being married to an Italian, garlic is definitely in my daily diet. I wonder if I can grow it here?

reply by teacherwoman on Apr 27, 2013 6:14 AM ()

Yeah, in the case of radishes and beets, the roots (as in root vegetables) are the important part. The guy who gave me the garlic last fall just said to separate the cloves and plant. I suspect that the skins actually protect them while they take root. I was surprised that they sprouted so soon. The chives caught up but garlic and chives are ahead of the horseradish. Leeks are supposed to be the only thing growing wild so far. I got permission this morning to go on a guy's 30 acres and take what i can find! Donna loves leeks!

Fantastic! and Thank you for the expertise!

reply by kristilyn3 on Apr 21, 2013 1:51 PM ()

I could have done without the snake tail picture!

hate them! when your little girl arrives, your heart will be bursting with love for her! good luck with the gardening! and i think kraymer is wondering why dad is in his bed!

comment by elkhound on Apr 21, 2013 5:39 AM ()

Sorry lady!!! I understand what you mean. YUCK! Freaked me the heck out, that's for sure.

reply by kristilyn3 on Apr 21, 2013 1:12 PM ()

Just wait until you see that beautiful little scrap of humanity. You will
adore her. I hope she never has colic. Are you nursing? I hope so because
it is easiest and best.

comment by elderjane on Apr 21, 2013 5:28 AM ()

I am planning on breastfeeding. I have read a lot about it and it amazes me how hard and painful it can be! I was told to give it two weeks before I make any decision if I am having trouble, and I also will take full advantage of the lactation consultants that visit the hospital daily. I want to succeed!

That picture with Kraymer looks Photoshopped, doesn't it?

Cutie there in the background looks cute. Very exciting that your blessed delivery will be here before you know it.

comment by troutbend on Apr 20, 2013 8:45 PM ()

It does look photoshopped, but it's not! Just the angle I guess? And yes, she will be here within 2 weeks for sure since they will induce me a week after the due date.

reply by kristilyn3 on Apr 21, 2013 1:10 PM ()

My garlic has sprouted, but that's no guarantee that the bulbs will be decent. When I plant radishes and beets the tops grow great, but the "roots" so so good. Too much nitrogen, I think. We plant garlic in the fall (October) around here and it couldn't be easier. Split the heads into cloves and plant each one separately a few inches deep and 4 inches or so apart.

comment by jjoohhnn on Apr 20, 2013 4:06 PM ()

Do the cloves need to be peeled or just put right in the ground? And Sorry but I don't know what you mean by the tops growing but the roots don't, are the roots the part we eat?

reply by kristilyn3 on Apr 21, 2013 1:09 PM ()

I love that you are planting veggies. I've heard garlic is easy but stinky. But I too loooooooove garlic. You are more ready to be a mom than you think.

comment by sexysadie on Apr 20, 2013 3:04 PM ()

I hope you are right lady. Some days I can hardly wait, other days I think oh my gawd what the hell business do I have having a baby!!!
