I went on a cruise to Alaska and white water rafting when I was 6+ months pregnant with Alex! (Doc OK'd the cruise, didn't ask him about the rafting.

I spent the first 2 trimesters vomitting and was finally starting to feel normal, huge normal, but not sick, so I was trying to make up for all I missed!) Then I went hiking at Mt. Rainier with a friend about 5 weeks before my due date. I was really late getting home, so Don had called the park service and they were organising a search party for me! They had already checked all the cars inthe park and had not seen mine. Don doesn't hike, and he'd never been worried when I was home late before.

Great Baby Belly Photo!

You have passed the most critical weeks, you are in the home stratch and will spend most of it in search of better air-conditioning. (Or you could just hop over to the wet side of the state).

I know--I told DH yesterday that it was about time to invest in another "window shaker" A/C unit for our livingroom.

x2!! how cute!!! it's the I can't bend over or see my feet stage!! lol!

So it gets hot enough to need A/C?

East of the Mountains? Pretty much all of summer and into early fall, although up in Okanogan and Omak where RFF and 4312 live fall comes earlier; West of the Mountains it may get hot enough for AC a week or two every summer, if you can't close your blinds before the sun hits the windows. It was over 100 degrees on the wetside five days in a row in... 2009? 2008? and that was *half* the triple digit weather for my whole life. And last summer it only got over 90 once. On the wetside.

East of the Mountains there's places that are true deserts.

HA!!! I wish I didn't hit 100 degrees every summer... But every year that I have lived here, "so 4 years now," my backyard has gotten up to 115... Now keep in mind that I have 0 shade except for the AM hours and at dusk... During the hottest days we will hit 117 no problem, normal days we are sitting at over 95 degrees... I have figured out though, that if I spray the rocks around my back porch, it cools my yard off by about 15 degrees... Kinda like a swamp cooler. My chickens are lucky, they have the only shady spot through the entire day.

At this point with my twins, I was to the 'I can't reach my arms all the way around my belly any more' stage! By that time I had forgotten that I still had feet except that they were swollen and hurt!
The twins were born late September and I was beyond miserable! They were also transverse so I had to have a C. Such fun!

I have a question concerning eggs for hatching. I am getting a trio of Black Tailed White Japanese, 2 hens, 1 roo. If I want to save the eggs to sell for hatching purposes, what is the best way to preserve them and keep them safe and at their most viable? Also, what price would be acceptable to sell them for? Thanks

Ahh... That was the day that my daughter was SUPPOSED to be born! She decided to wait an extra 10 days, and then that was enough.

store collected eggs in an egg carton, paper is best, in a 55 degree enviroment, large end (air cell) UP.
A warmish (55 degree refrig is best in summer) in winter I keep mine in a cooler outdoors.
They should be tipped back & forth several times daily until shipped.
I do not keep eggs longer than 6 days, and then ship priority mail.
I always either date the carton or the eggs of the day of collection, to ensure there is no stale (old) ones.

I'll pay a little more at Walgreen's to avoid having to go to Walmart!
You should have seen the looks on the faces of the young, cute, skinny girls at Del's when I wore my woven straw gardening hat in there!(the one I have to wear in the sun now cause I have cancer brewing on my ears from too many years of ball caps and no sun block) I forgot that I was embarrassed cause the reaction I got out of them was so funny. They were visibly mortified for me because of the hat! It was hilarious!
People need to learn to lighten up about fashion! The person inside the clothes(as long as they ARE inside their clothes) is more important than what is on the outside!

It's not the hat. It's the angle. I have gotten compliments on Mr. H's bucket hat he got for hiking because I wear it at a rakish angle. My sister is a milliner. it's my duty to encourage the wearing of hats. I have a wardrobe of them.

I would just like to hit the "like" button on the above post. Rakish is a good word.
