I had no intention of taking all of January off from blogging. I would look at my computer daily and think “I need to blog”, but then something else would demand my attention and the blog would be neglected for another day. January was a tough month for our family health wise, I don’t think there was one day that went by that someone wasn’t sick with something, especially the baby. I had forgotten how hard that first winter can be for a baby, it seems that they catch everything that comes their way, and not being able to nurse isn’t helping on that front either. My newest pregnancy is going great, I do have some “morning sickness”, but has been the most mild of the bunch, right now I am just super tired. It seems like I am stuck in a never ending cycle: baby gets sick, I am up all night taking care of baby, I am worn out and catch baby’s bug and finally when I start to feel well, baby gets sick again!
Anyway, enough complaining, I am feeling optimistic that things are going to look up soon, I have started using oils around the house to keep us well, homeopathic remedies and I have been able to get some breast milk to feed baby at least partially. Besides there is something in the air, something that is promising spring and in one month I will begin spring planting, and that always makes me feel better. January 28th my oldest turned 13, I can’t believe she is already 13, those years have gone by so fast. On January 30th my son turned 5, he is such the little man. January is the beginning of the birthday months, we have 2 in January, 2 in March plus our anniversary, 2 in April and one in July and the new baby coming in August.
Life is good.
So glad to see you back! I always love your blog posts. It has almost felt like Spring already here in KC. Today it was 65! Crazy huh?
Life IS good.
Sorry to hear that your family has been struggling with illness; that is never fun. Hope you get your wish for an early spring (after all we can’t believe a silly little groundhog can we)…
Blessings,
Aimee
So happy to hear from you! I know, everyone seems to be gettin’ the nasty bug one way or another. Farmer Hubby was down for 2 weeks with a nasty head cold that went slightly in his chest. I’ve been tired, I think my immune system is kicking butt I think which in turns wears me out. I hope that you are all on the mending and 100% real quick.
Now, I need to go look for your broth instructions so I can do my chicken and venison broth canning. I’ve made broth before just not like you did and I loved what I read. See ya soon!
Loves and Blessings.
PS. good to hear pregnancy is going well and babyzoo is well too.
