I'm Scared For LOLA To Give Birth!

Good morning, guys. Welcome to today's video and welcome to the mess that is this tree, this giant tree above us. It literally waits until the very last. See, literally no leaves anywhere. And then poof, this tree decides to drop its leaves at the very end. We should just push these all into the garden, Sam. Like these are huge leaves. Good morning and welcome to today. I woke up today with renewed energy. I do so much better when I have a routine. On weekends, we just kind of do whatever we want instead of stick to our daily routine and it definitely has an effect on my mental health. What are you doing? That's my favorite thing ever. What are you measuring for? That's what I need. What are you making? I told you I want to have a thing open here, but I'm going to get all new wood for that. Yeah, that is awful wood. Because it's all crappy. It's a nice big door, though. Like a nice big opening. You know what would be good in it? Just a doggy door. Well, I'm going to have a bigger one. Just a doggy door, a doggy door. I'm going to have a bigger door. Yeah, that's perfect. In the spring I always have so many jobs, I always have so many jobs planned, but in the fall I don't. Look at it, it's 50 degrees in here, 10 degrees, and it's way colder outside, way colder. But like I was saying, in the spring I have so many jobs and in the fall I don't, I just, I start to feel lost, especially when it rains for days and I can't get outside. But I feel lost, like I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. If I worked out of the house, if I like went away to a job, I'm sure I would never feel that because I'd never have time to feel that. But being home, Sam and I both home at the same time, I feel lost if I don't have things to do. Like I just, I don't know how to describe it. Because I have, because I'm a worker and need to be busy all the time, if I don't, ow, if I don't have stuff to do, it feels weird. It feels like, it feels weird, like I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. And I don't know, I'm one of those people who... Feels like I have to be working all the time, which is like an issue in itself. Like, it's hard for me to relax. But also, I don't enjoy relaxing. Sometimes I enjoy relaxing, but not a lot. Look at you, all snuggled in your bed. That's so cute! Such a cute girl... Does that mean you're pregnant? Does that mean she's pregnant? Is she pregnant? She's old, did you say? Cold, yeah, probably. But anyway, welcome to today. Another day. Another day of chores. Another morning. Look at them. Are you teasing them? Is he teasing you? You're teasing him. He acts like a girl man. I told you guys last week maybe that I started taking this new supplement and it's basically a fertility supplement but I'm not using it for that. It also balances blood sugar and not that I have like Actually problems with my blood sugar, but I'm old and when you're old and you don't have hormones blood sugar is always an issue Even on a minimal level and it affects so many things like it affects your energy and it affects Oh, man, it affects so many things. So anyways started taking this supplement called inositol and I love it Originally, I thought that I didn't have any symptoms or side effects from it But I'm super sensitive and I did end up with some symptoms some side effects just like bloating and vivid dreams but worth it. I feel amazing on it but there are things you can do to eliminate those symptoms anyways and a little bit of bloating is like a good payoff for feeling like yourself again. I literally feel like myself again. If you ask me everybody looks chubby. Everybody looks pregnant. She looks pregnant down there. Nope. No growth. Sorry. I was just checking your udder. Imagine somebody just walked up to you and grabbed your, your udder. Yeah, actually you're married. Probably don't have to imagine. Let's check you. Nope. No udder, but it's normal for them not to have an udder at this point. She looks chubby. They look chubby. Part of it's the fur. Maybe as people we go into this like Calm, quiet time in the fall. I don't know. I just love fall, but I don't love not being busy. Can you relate? Look at it. I need to take a picture. I like to take pictures and compare. Scratching her butt on the feeder. That's what she likes to do. I don't think that she's as big as she was when she gave birth to quads last year, but I think she's like close. She still has two months to go though. Like exactly two months. I'm just talking about your babies. How many babies are you going to have? She's like, I don't want to talk about that. She's like, who are you calling fat, sister? Trust me, I get it. And then Cinderella over there. I don't know if you can see her. She is our widest goat. She's so wide. Her mom has like a really nice show udder. Hopefully she's pregnant. I still wonder if this girl's in heat. Oh no, not her. She's weaning her babies though. She's telling them no more. They're driving her bonkers. And even though her kids are driving her bonkers, you know what she doesn't do? She doesn't get mad at them. She doesn't, she just walks away. She just ignores it. I feel like parenting is like 20% dealing with crap and 80% just looking the other way. Letting them grow up, letting them be who they are. Not gonna lie, it's cold, but this is only the only really cold day this week. I'm also not gonna lie, I'm not prepared. Hi ladies and gentlemen. I've been leaving this door open so the chickens have light. They've been locked inside for two days now because I'm not letting them free range anymore because it just seems too dangerous with the foxes around and stuff. Recently the little girl in the back there went missing. So today we're gonna actually Open the door and they're going to get to go back outside, but they're going to go in an area that is safer. Don't get attacked, Sam. Sophie's about to drive to go get hay. I'm actually so proud of Sophie. I did not know that she, if she would have the drive to be driving all the time. It's actually warm back here. Kind of warm. I forgot I even had this feeder. Put some hay in here, some straw. I think I'm going to. And another waterer. I want to use For the babies. Oh, he did it already. I'm going to go get some straw. Hi, babies. Hi, you can come out here. Actually, it's cold. I'm going to get Sam to put plastic on those. I'm going to go get some straw. Sam, I'm going to put some straw out here. He's ignoring me. It's cold. But they're going to be happy. I wonder if a raccoon could get through that. That would be annoying. I think I'm gonna have to get him to fix that too. I feel so much better now knowing that the chickens can go back outside and still be safe. Gosh, I forgot what it's like when it's this cold. I'm so grateful for this little hut. So grateful. All right, here we go. I might need, I might need two. We'll see. Holy moly, it's cold. Like, that's immense cold. They will come out here and kick it around. It's pretty thick in a lot of places. It might take them a while to get out here. Oh, there's a big pile. All right, there we go. It's a pretty big mess, but they'll fix it up. They're like, what's going on? I think I should close that other door. I think I should close that other door over there because it'll be a wind tunnel. I'm so grateful that they can come When they come out here, I just worry because I can't see them. At least when they're free-ranging, I just have to open the door and see them. And I see that he's got wire up there at the top of that one, but no wire at the top of this. Raccoons fit through the craziest of spaces, so I'm gonna get that fixed. I just have to put plastic up, really. I also, I also found some plastic that, actually, a raccoon could just open this door. Maybe, oh, I see. Terrifying. I don't know man. I'm so grateful to have them now. The horse brush out here. Probably from when we took our pictures. So grateful to have the chickens again. Like I didn't even realize I missed them until we got more. I want to make sure they're safe. And the big problem with birds especially is that unless you're there every single second, if there's a will, there's a way. For raccoons, for foxes, whatever. Oh my gosh, my hands are frozen. November There's my giant wreath. I love it. I want it. Maybe take pictures of our horses again with this giant wreath. It's huge. Also, I was thinking about building a little playground for the rats with these for Sophie because she plays with them so much. I'll have to ask her, but also So I came to see some of my... Decorations that literally got dumped over. It's probably by the cats. And I'm going to bring in this guy, clean him out. I was actually looking online to buy new feeders and stuff because I don't know where all my brooder box stuff are. But just like that, winter arrived. And it's going to be kind of cool. Not this cold, but it's going to be kind of cool all week. All right, listen. Here's the pep talk. I'm going to close this door so you guys can stay warm. And you guys can go outside now. You can head out. You can go outside that way. I know you don't understand. They really want to go out. Go out the back door. Lead them out the back door. Years ago some viewers made us these little decorations for our tree. So here's like a Gracie. Isn't it so cute? And then this is, I think this is a Stella. But I'm going to hang her on the tree. And then this is obviously a Chino. And a Stormy. So I'm going to hang these on our tree. I didn't hang them up last year. But this year I am going to hang them up. Because they're special to me. There's actually two Palomino's. So I'm going to hang them up and one will be Gracie. Maybe I'll give this to Lily. What do you guys think? I'm going to. Lily is obsessed with Palomino horses. And she loves riding Gracie. And she loves Gracie. And she is such a horse girl. I might give this to Gracie or to Lily and let her hang it under a tree. Oh when my boys were little we used to collect the Hallmark. Christmas card or Christmas ornaments. Every year each boy would get one. This is from 1991. So this is the year one of my kids was born. I had a baby this year and this must have been his ornament. I have gone through all of our decorations over the years and given my boys all their special ornaments because they had like a lot of what they have. They had them from birth. So I gave them all theirs like they had Spider-Man and Superman and Batman ones and Darth Vader and they had like Pete's dragon and all the ones that were popular in there like they got to pick them every year so I ended up giving them all of their special ornaments so I don't hardly have so I don't really have any of them left. This one's really old it was when Coke first came out it was a Coke one. I lost the Coke bottle it's Santa and he's drinking a Coke so cute. Don't you know that you're
