Hazel Daisy

Born 12:30am December 18th 7lbs 19.5 inches

39 weeks 4 days

It has been a crazy baby week!  Hazel is either like me (can't make up her mind) or like Pat (just plain ornery).  Saturday night she started dropping and has caused torn or strained ligaments in my abdomen, which was causing me great discomfort when I would get Braxton hicks, which in turn made me think I was in labor, which turned out I was not.  But thanks to the wonderful people I know, midwifes and physical therapist, my abdomen is feeling MUCH better.

This morning at 3am I woke up to contractions 10 minutes apart, there was no doubting that these were contractions this time.  This went on until 8am and then nothing.  No more contractions.  So we wait.....
Pat is excited as he is finally close to the no work work week.

Another Moose

Another moose is always an excuse to get together. A few beers,fresh burgers and the job was accomplished. We ended up with about 350 pounds of processed meat which was divided between 6 families. No empty bellies this winter. Thanks Blake for letting us make a mess at your house.
