Coffee anyone ?

Don't you cover it?? That should prevent the need...

Nope. The lady at the pool store said winter covers on above ground pools in areas with high wind is bad news. I "THINK" the wind gets under the cover and damages the pool somehow? Not sure.

We get wind
Harbor Freight "garage" installed: Sept 25, 2020

Wind alternating North and South started bending the verticals. I added bracing

When it couldn't flex and bend the original problem area the forces went elsewhere. All but one of the verticals was bent or broken. Several of the "rafters", some broken off at the "slides into the other pipe" narrowing.

So glad to see my granddaughters! Lots of hugs, read them bedtime stories and rubbed their backs until they went to sleep.

If you are feeling crummy perhaps you should NOT go to school. Might spread whatever you have (hopefully not Covid) to others!

I maybe should have stayed in my room, but I know it was aftereffects of being out in the cold on Wednesday night.
Wyoming is cold, super shocking.

Perhaps she means crummy mentally?

It is physically, but pretty limited crumminess, mostly my throat

Evening all, lets see phone currently allowing me on here so i taje advantage. Read some of yalls post glad you go to see the kids bay. C didnt realize you got put on bed rest that sucks i am a horrible patient if it comes to resting at all so i cant imagine that. Bruce i know that feeling one of the ones we had after a few months died from the wind we got a few thunder storms and it was done. Lets see poka try to honey and hot tea with lemon personally hate the taste but totally helps. Another thing to go ahead and get is lavender or lemon oil and a drop or two behind your ears and rub down towards you back will help with drainage and ect. Trying to to be to momma ish but plently of fluids and ice chips also will help. Promise i knoe i read something from you all the things you got going... the kids and homeschooling praying for you there i know some days are harder then others glad yall get fun time dd1 somedays drags it on until there not day left... drives me nuts but its life. Mini sleep is your friend lavendar bath might help you relax if you have a hard time sleeping there a few other things i was gonna say but my brain has failed me. If i missed replying to someone sorry trying to remember everything isnt working to well. Ok so no baby yet keep having contraction on and off. Trying to keep my sanity would like to be done. Been cleaning house and keeping up with everything so there that. Plently of exercise and you know normal life things but nothing really new dd1 and ds1 have almost finished school been behind there but thats okay oh and ds2 has almost finished his prek books soo probably have him on kinder next year. So that should be fun. Hmmm got to do a few more deep cleaning and lots of packing left. But outside of that kinda running out of things to do. My mental issues have been with lack of things to do outside of cleaning. I was gonna make start sewing projects then my sewing machine got packed so thats out. Garden dead for sore subject reasons, no animals besides a few birds and the kids pets so no real productiveness there. Its amazing how bored i can be with cleaning cooking and yah lack of projects that feel like they get acomplished. Trying to enjoy the slowness but honestly i suck at it. Been doing research on recipes and homesteading and ect. I need a hands on project that doesnt involve cleaning and when its done its done kinda of thing. Hoping after baby comes life will get more on track some with dh work and us saving and ect. Oh well life goes on and i be holsing little guy soon hopefully and wont have to go to hosiptal midwife can only go for 42 weeks so baby got to come asap. Anyways i better get to sleep gonna need my energy tomorrow well goodnight we see if i can get back on at some point i dont get my phone issue lately with this site but oh well.

Sorry that the baby hasn't come yet.

Super frustrating.

Not that they listen to us asking them to come!

Having "relations" with your husband is supposed to help soften the cervix and move things along.

Using a breast pump or nipple stimulation can help strengthen contractions. But those don't do much unless you are already mostly started.

Maybe your midwife could strip your membranes. It is low risk and has a decent success rate. We tried it with kid 4 (I think, maybe ... Anyway, one of them). I remember it worked for us.

I think my baby sister took something (that the midwife recommended) that gave her the runs.... supposedly having to poop every 3 minutes can help the contractions start up/ get stronger. And then you are also all "cleaned out" for pushing!

Good luck!

I pray for a healthy outcome for you and baby. And may God give you the patience to see this through!

Well...everyone seems to be in an "ok" place for time of year.

I did get some deep sleep...from about 7:30 until about 2....then body said, enough. Soooo, I'm up and on here, wide awake. Rested. I can't sleep for hours on end. Got almost 7!! I'm good. Will just be ready to go at it when daylight catches up with me. Already had breakfast and coffee is great! Now I have a couple hours to straighten up, look at my work schedule and be back in control. Nice feeling...plans. Will be working a store today, then off for a couple. Farm project days. Busy this week but really slack the following....yah!! Farm days coming. Payday work is finally slowing for the winter. I think. I hope. I like.

Gassed up truck yesterday when I came to a station still on lower prices of their last delivery. They were at $3.09 and most are at $3.29. These constant increases are getting really old!!! Much of my work lately as been installing new pricing strips on shelves. Trust me. Nothing is going down! Not only that, it's going up like $1 an item. It's insane. So glad I'm overstocked at home.

 

[farmerjan]

Got gas when I found it for 3.19 up near Winchester yesterday as most here were 3.29. Then found one station here that was still 3.15 so refilled again this morning on way home from testing the last farm ... for a month at least.... It will probably be through the roof when I do finally get back to driving.... Figure I put on over 300 miles Friday and Saturday with the 2 farms... .
Gonna get worse... sooooo glad the diesel tank here is full and DS filled the ones at the farm... @ 2.40 or so a gallon... it is 3.79 at the pumps here for cash and higher for credit prices...

I think my baby sister took something (that the midwife recommended) that gave her the runs.

Likely castor oil?

 

[rachels.haven]

Likely castor oil?

Don't take that. Wrong kind of contractions.

Well apparently this morning was the time. Midwife got here at 5:20 and at 5:30 baby boy was born two push was all it took thankfully and he is here happy and healthy. Outside of the cramping i am good. Medicine can only do so much and when he nurse of course the cramping worse. He likes food already lol. He is 8lbs 8oz and 21 1/2 inches long my biggest yet. Thankfully the oldest four slept through brithing process and woke up to breakfast and a new baby brother yay. Daddy is tired he and i were both up all night as my contractions got stronger and closer about 11:30ish and just kept up their job and yup here we are. Here baby boy John Andrew and our midwife as i dont know if she would be okay with posting her picture on here i covered her face.
