D-Day

Well today is the due day and so far no sign of the new baby.
As for my wife, I think she's about ready to have it now!
She not taking it as easy as some might in her condition, mind you with our little girl it's hard to take it easy while she's around!
Yesterday I got sent the picture above along with the lines "Don't buy any potatoes on your way home, just dug up 20kg."
Nine months pregnant and still digging potatoes - think I married the right girl!
Maybe I'll make here some raspberry leaf tea or a hot curry!

      This weekend we're going to an apple day so I'm sure they're be plenty of walking at that so hopefully that will move things along

    May not be long-often Mums will have a flurry of energy just before the baby comes. Just a note-our daughter jokingly refers to her brother's birthday as the day we ruined her perfect only child existence. Nontheless they were very close as children, rarely fell out, and as adults still have a strong bond.

      I'm close to my brother and sister so I always wanted my children to have that bond with their siblings. I'm not sure my little girl will agree when she has to share us!

    Nesting instinct! Just before having Compostgirl I decided to do the ironing mountain, after I had cleared out the barn.

    I have potato envy! I can grow sweet potatoes here, they do well being tropical.. They like our heat and long summers... but sighhhhh I have yet to get regular old potatoes to grow worth a darn here or at all really... those are some beauties...
