Yesterday you kicked me... Mama and I were lying down to have an afternoon nap and her belly was pressed up against my back and just as I was drifting off you kicked me a good one... It felt awesome... I can't wait to see what the follow up act is!
You are phenomenal....

bumboo
My darling boy... your bottom will be so comfy..
Your mama and I have decided to try out a few different types of cloth nappies - with some disposable ones on stand by.. so i went on the internet and researched nappies for hours. You wouldn't believe how many are out there! So I chose some and ordered them.. mainly because I liked the name, I'm a sucker for a pun (I think that's why i love your mama so much).
Bumboo nappies - 4 of them, are on their way to our house, to be added to your little bag of goodies we are building up. a few outfits, a few funny t-shirts (mama and I - big fan of the funny slogan T) - a towel, soft toys... things we couldn't resist. These nappies are exciting. Made from bamboo they are supposed to be more absorbent and naturally antibacterial... we'll see. We've never had a boy before so I'm sure there'll be much to learn about nappy changes.
P.S. 2 eggs this morning... the chickens must have seen yesterdays post and are embarassed that they are not fulfilling their goddess designed purpose... or maybe it was just time! Anyway - 2 eggs... bless bless

still no eggs...
We have chickens... 3 chickens - brown and white. They live at the end of the yard, in a little run fenced off from the rest of the garden. I love them... I always wanted a farm you see baby.. with veges and fruit trees and chickens and cows etc... gumboots and tractors and lots of hard work. Well we don't have a farm, but we did get the chickens - and they make me happy. Most of the time... they were laying eggs.. our first two chooks, Bec and Layton, they gave us 14 eggs a week... then Layton left us - Bec stopped laying... sadness will do that to you - we could tell Bec was sad so we got her two new friends. Baby boy - friends will always make you happier... they are hard work, but they are so worth it, when you are sad they will make you feel loved, and when they are sad you will pick them up and keep them safe and that will be one of the things that makes your life worth living....
Anyway - the new chickens haven't started laying yet, and they are scared of me - well they were until a few days ago. Bec and Layton were my buddies, they'd follow me around the garden, clucking away pecking the grass, eating the bugs i'd throw their way. When I came close enough they'd crouch down and raise up their wings a little and i'd give them a pat and a big scratch and they'd coo with delight. The new chooks wanted nothing of it.. they'd run away when I came near... they got sick after a week and were sneezing etc, and Bec started copying them... she got sick, she started running away from me... and still no eggs...
But two days ago when i went into their run to let them out in the morning Bec crouched down for a scratch!! Then yesterday when your mama went to give them some sunflower seeds Portia (one of the new chooks) crouched down too! And now they've both crouched down for scratches from me too... still no eggs though... so we wait...
I still love them though - they're funny, and different, and they make our little home feel like a suburban farm... and that makes us all happy. I hope you'll like them... there should be eggs by the time you come out. There better be!!!
