Today we bought a 2 year old jersey cow. Her name is Tilly!We bought her from an organic dairy-I am really excited! I think that it is going to take a while to break us in on the milking, it has been a hard trail so far.One of the most exciting things is that she is bred and is due to have a baby in December....so either we will have our own steer our another cow!
My husband is getting more adventurous-I love him-he really is amazing!

She is supposed to give us four gallons of milk a day.I am really looking forward to making my own cheese, butter, ice cream..and all things dairy. We are becoming regular dairy farmers now!

Babys a comin' soon
Today Stephen was crossing out the days on the calender and he realized that our due date is 4 days from now. I thought we were just trying and walking and that we had 1 or 2 weeks to go still said Steve. I was really surprised, I thought that he knew how long we had to go. It will be exciting to see him with our little girl.
I am getting really excited-I can't believe that it is almost time. She feels so big now as she presses her feet against me as if to say-I'm almost ready mom, there is no room left in here! I try to keep the house clean, I want it to be relaxing when I go into labor and have plenty of food around the house for my husband to eat.He eats like a horse (you wouldn't believe it but, he does).

Am I ever going to have a baby?
Sometimes I feel like I am never going to have a baby.I know that's not true but, it feels like I have been waiting forever.My adorable husband tries to be encouraging- after all he can see the truth that I won't be pregnant forever.For me it is just like why haven't I had the baby yet?
He is really wonderful and patient with me. He rubs my back, endures me crying, and he even made dinner last night! (Maybe he just knows that I won't be like this forever-and that's why he can deal with me now!).I have decided that I am ready to have the baby anytime now, so look for an update with a birth story and pictures in the future -after all she will be here whenever she gets tired of her current home.
In the meantime, I have to get rid of my stuck in limbo feeling and do stuff. I am making Christmas presents for my sisters, trying to get back to the hang of cooking, and making cloth diapers (this is a project that I haven't really started but, I'll have some soon). Yesterday, I went to the auction with one of my sister in laws and walked around all day.
