Well I’m alive and somewhat on the mend. No pregnancies here. But congratulations on your developing addition. I’m at the fun stage where my doctor says I’m coughing up all the leftover crud from my pneumonia, so I spend a lot of time coughing until everything hurts.
My wife did a pretty good job letting me rest, though my daughters were so excited about daddy being home all day little rest was had. I only had to drag myself outside once to catch Alfalfa. Clever goat got loose and my wife couldn’t get him to come to her so I had to do that part. I think he’d been out most of the night, but when she noticed he was just standing there looking at the house, probably planning his break in. The guy I got him from told me that alfalfa escaped one summer and managed to get through the sliding screen door, they came home to a goat on the couch.

I was just thinking about you last night wondering how you were feeling and if you were feeling better. Please dont over do it when you THINK you feel better. This stuff lingers for a while. Take it slow if you can. I know you said your daughter isnt letting you get much rest, which is understandable being a child, they bounce off the walls. 
But please try. When I was married, my now ex had double pneumonia, and he took forever getting over it because he didnt follow the doctors orders. Get as much rest as you can.

Much as it hurts, coughing all that gunk up and out is a good thing. One time I was in an ER and a kid was in with breathing issues and the docs had him laying on his belly with the table tilted "head down" and they were "clapping" him on the back up and down with cupped hands, over where his lungs would be. The idea being to loosen the crap inside so he could cough it up. Though they were also giving him a breathing treatment of some sort at the same time. Have often wondered if we could just hang upside down like bats for a while and maybe that would help it drain out faster. Stretch out our backs at the same time. Like one of those "Teeter hang up" machines.
Get better man, best as you can.

If I were hung upside down it would not be junk from my lungs coming out, it would be from my stomach!

Please do take care of yourself. When you do feel better, don't get up and over do it or you will be right back down again. Hope you feel better soon.

I’m alive and healthy! Next time I’ve got a cold I’ll actually rest a little to get better as opposed to try and push through and get much, much worse. Updates around here, Cowboy still hasn’t been sold but my wife is trying to talk me into trying for a little while longer. Lambert will be leaving us for a few weeks starting today, my friend wants to use him to breed his ewes. Horses are fat and happy. Alfalfa the spoiled goat was evicted from his duck coop on Monday. He doesn’t do well with the sheep as they steal his alfalfa and he won’t lower his standards to eating three way hay, so he has his own spot with his own little lean-to, a marvel of farmer engineering. Two pallets, two old fence posts, some scrap plywood, baling twine and an old folding table for a roof. He loves it, so that’s all that matters. His eviction was brought on by our newest additions, chickens. My parents are moving to Oklahoma and don’t want to travel with any animals besides their dogs, so I got 4 Sussex, 3 bags of feed, 2 big white Brahmas, and a mealworm Farm in some rubber maid totes. I rigged the duck coop up to be chicken approved and they seem to like it. My mother spoiled the heck out of these girls (I mean a meal worm farm just for their snacking pleasure) and they refuse to step foot out of their coop into the cold. Between them and the goat it’s worse and worse, next thing you know the sheep will want back rubs. Course it has been chilly, it was -2 this morning. And of course there were the dogs sleeping out in the open within 5 feet of their dog house. Nobody roughs it like those two, and that dog house is at times a waste of money. For the first 2 years Kya wouldn’t go into it, she’d just sleep underneath the horse trailer if it snowed. Now every time I say I’m giving it to the goat suddenly her and Bella are huddled up in there on a 40 degree day. -2 and Kya is on a piece of plywood and Bella’s asleep in her big rubber feed dish, nowhere near each other. Dogs!

Glad to hear that you are all healthy and well!
Looks like you've got some nice addition there.
