The weather sucks and we have a new number 10

Well another week down- the weekend weather resembled something from January as opposed to May. On Monday we got 4 inches of snow- I guess this plan on not being pregnant during the hot summer months is really going to work since we likely won't even have any days above 60 before the middle of June. Thinking back to last year when we had our wedding party and stole lilacs out of people's yards for our flowers. Wouldn't happen this year (not that we should have been doing it last year for that matter).

We had a new baby in the family this past week- a new calf that belongs to Louise (for those of you who haven't heard the story we have 3 cows, 2 of which run away so their names are Thelma and Louise). She had a baby boy that is black last Friday-- still don't have a name so he is number 10. People might think it is a little strange if we have to leave the hosiptal with our kid having a number 1 on it's ear if we still can't decide that either. Andy was disappointed as he was hoping for a girl- all I hope is that she doesn't get her mom's personality. Well actually Andy is probably thinking that about our real baby too :)


This weekend was Andy's cousins wedding- needless to say if I ever have another baby I am not going to any weddings if I can not drink. Just not the same experience. Although I was feeling much better about things Sunday morning as both Andy and our house guests woke up feeling worse than I did. As luck would have it I went to urgent care on Saturday for a bladder infection so if the truth was told I didn't feel that great either and there were no great stories associated with it.

Also spent the week watching Augusta, my parents dog while they are visiting my brother in Texas. Although I have no recollection of how much hair we must have had in the house growing up with 2 labs, not sure now how my mom did it. Between not having any grass and the hair housecleaning could be a full time job around here and sure enough our cleaning lady from Winona still hasn't been able to get over her fear of driving up hills and has yet to show up at the new house.

Had an appointment yesterday- everything is still going well with the exception of a stupid bladder infection. Turns out the antibiotics they gave me on Saturday are not going to work on the type of bacteria I have so I started a new one yesterday. Hopefully in the next few days it will kick in . Trying to do my best at exercising, but I am supposed to drink 2 gallons of water a day. Needless to say the dogs and I are limited to exercising around the farm so that we all can take bathroom breaks as needed. And no I have not put my toilet paper down for those of you who remember that incident.

Looking forward to the end of the week/weekend-- Winona takes part in a 100 mile garage sale which is really something from what I hear. Hoping to hit the sales Friday and Saturday and snatch up baby deals left and right. Wishing my mom could be here to bargain as I flat out suck at that part but can't blame her for laying around in 80 degree weather poolside instead of scrapping snow off the cars here.

I will update our items we have post after the bargains this weekend!
