I am not going to keep a kidding journal as there are way too many to freshen and it gets pretty boring. However my first one is due on 1/8 and she is already starting the doe code. 
I go out this morning and she is standing out in the field by herself. HMMM. She is limping a little which doesn't surprise me. Her udder says no way near ready but her "girlie" parts are saying it will be soon. I was really thinking that maybe she wasn't due until March after all as she isn't that big but now I am not sure about anything. Yesterday I thought that perhaps the kids had dropped, but I don't know, maybe it will be March for all I know. 
The only thing I really know is that she is pregnant, confirmed by a blood draw. Doe code all the way.

The last step on the land purchase if happening tomorrow....the appraisal. 
If the land does not appraise for the purchase price then the seller can lower the price or the deal is off. I am sure it will take a week for the report but I should know soon.
On another note, we had a shed to move. This was my old milking barn and it is now the equipment shed for the dairy and will house the HW heater and the vacuum pump and the controls for the vacuum system. Obviously it needed to be level so I built a platform for it to reside on as our land is anything but level. Now how to get it moved 15' AND up on top of a platform that is 2' off of the ground. My tractor cannot pick it up. So One tractor pushed, a winch pulled, and the other tractor kept it from falling over. Three days later and it is now in place.

I had someone all setup to come and move it with his tractor but for some reason DH wanted to pretend that he was an Egyptian. Saved me about 400.00 so I can't complain. We didn't even get in an argument while doing it either; that in itself was a huge accomplishment.

I have done similar moves several time so good on you for letting him be a hero this time.

I think he actually like this job, it was certainly a challenge; more mind than physical as the tractor and winch did all the hard work. That is probably why he enjoyed it.
