Baby Update, or Lack Thereof
Just a quickie to say we’re 3 days from the due date and there’s no sign of the little one yet — well, except the “signs” of swelling feet, itchiness, kicking, etc. that I’ve been experiencing for a while.

Many many many thanks … [Read more...] about We Are In!!!!!

We’ll keep tending this little hatchery, then transplant to our new garden once they build up a little strength.Meanwhile, the little human baby is still growing inside and squirming away (and hiccupping) on a regular basis. … [Read more...] about Seedlings
