SheepGirl - Growing Up

[Baymule]

I am so happy for you! A new husband, baby and home PLUS 7.2 acres! Life just doesn't get any batter than this does it? It sounds like to me, that ya'll have found your forever home, big enough to grow your family, land enough to feed your addiction to animals, LOL.

BUT YOU HAVEN'T POSTED ANY PICTURES!!!

Oh my goodness, you had a busy year and so much wonderful news! Congratulations on the little one and the engagement AND the new property! Post some pics when you get a minute, please!

Thanks everyone!

This is him when he was 4 weeks old...

Yes, that is a sheep wubanub!

And our new home...

Beautiful baby boy, I just want to scoop him up and hug him, cover him with kisses and hug him some more! What a cutie! You will have so much fun being a Mom, watching him grow up. You are blessed.

Love the house, what a fantastic place to raise a family. Again, you are blessed.

Oh my word, can he be any cuter?

Lovely looking house too! I hope you guys are going to be very, very happy there!

A lot has happened in the past month... for one, I got a new job and I start on Monday! (Well, if the background check is done by then...if not then it will be Dec. 12.) I am not ready to leave my baby boy, and we still don't have a solid plan for day care for him yet. I'm thinking my sister in law and then my dad on his day off.

And we've also started to build a pen for the sheep and pigs. The field will be bush hogged this weekend. I found 4x4 alfalfa round bales for $40 -- so I am going to be jumping on that offer and get me a couple. I still don't know who I'm bringing to the new house. I've sold off quite a few sheep... a couple yearlings, most of the lambs, I sold Bella and her twins from last year to a Spanish family that ate them in a BBQ for their children's birthday parties. I would have kept them all since I had a lot of space for all of them, but since I was on maternity leave, I had to have my car payment and insurance paid for. The money I had saved up before baby went to home inspections, radon testing, furniture, blah, blah, blah and my fiance had saved up for the down payment. But now with this new job our income will double (I will be making almost 80% more than what I was before) and we can get more of what we want done! Hopefully we can fence in the property in the spring.

So pretty much I'm down to 15-20 sheep (I lost track...not easy since I'm not there all the time!). Oh and I lost Ali a few months ago. I don't think I ever posted that. One day I had found her under a piece of plywood. She couldn't stand for two weeks. She could crawl around though. I tried with supportive therapy, but one day I was working, my mom went to give her some kitchen scraps as a treat and she gobbled them up and literally an hour later she was dead I was so heartbroken. I cried for forever. And being pregnant didn't help much, lol.

So, off the top of my head, I know that I DO have these lil fellas:
Ciqala
Lady Gaga
Katy Perry
Rosie
#19
#25
#30
#31
#36
#37
Odysseus
Chevy
Chevy's lamb
and there are like 2 or three ewe lambs whose ID #s I cannot remember.
Plus Goat Goat
And the 6 pigs

So I think I'm down to 15? I will need to get a better count next time I'm over there.
