And soon you will be holding the most beautiful sight in the world, your baby.

Home from the hospital on bed rest. Going back to see my Doctor on Wednesday.

I suck at bed rest.

I keep getting up to check on the animals and being forced back to bed by my mother (who is here so I can be on bed rest)

So no new updates except for one of my rabbits had 9 kits the other day and so far all nine are doing splendid.

Gosh darn it! Saw a post from you on your thread and immediately thought " She's had her little one and we're gonna see baby pictures!"

Then I open the thread and sure enough... baby pictures... of RODENTS! Grats on the new kits. Try not to give your mom any more gray hairs trying to keep you slowed down (bed rest)...

 

[Baymule]

RODENTS??? Hey! Babies are babies!! Girl, listen to your MOM! Git yore bottom dollar OUT of the barn and back in BED!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We enduce in t-minus 7 days. If I don’t go into labor between now and then. They can’t slow the contractions down and they can’t get my BP down. I suck at bed rest but I spend a majority of my day on the couch. Maybe an hour or two on my feet every day.

I’ve been given the OK to do some minor exercises like going for small walks and stretching again.

 

[Baymule]

As always, you take great pictures! So in less than a week, you will have your boy!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

So excited for you! When that little fella gets here you'll wish you had the opportunity to bed rest again, lol! Enjoy sleep while you can. But, it'll all be worth it.

I suck at bed rest but I spend a majority of my day on the couch.

What, you are defying Doctor's orders to stay in bed?
I'm sure you are going nuts not being able to do all the things that need to be done let alone the things you want to do.

Found pictures of my oldest nephew and his first horse while we were going through pictures yesterday.

See he’s been riding since he was about 13 months old. By himself.

I’m pretty sure my little butter bean will be this independent, if I can find a golden oldie I trust as much as I trusted Blondie. She was a 30+ year old and you had to practically beat her to get her walking. She would stand all day and let him “ride”. She had one eye and a bad stifle that made her throw her leg out when she walked and sway like the ducks from the Aristocats movie.

Blondie was a retired show horse, registered Arabian. We got her at an auction for $30 and 10 months later she surprised us with a beautiful paint fully. The filly was club footed and was put down when she was a yearling due to complications from the club. Blondie lived to be about 35 and passed peacefully in her sleep.

Funny that a horse that won as much money as Blondie did in her youth ended up in our pasture as a broken down old lady. We were able to track down all of her information from a freeze brand she had on her neck. “Golden Eclypse” was her registered name.

Second picture is my heart horse, Mama, who I’ve had for almost 20 years now. Of course 13 years ago we were both quite young. Ha!
