Just soaking up the baby goodness

Well my little man is home and I am loving it. I'm still a little anxious and he spends the majority of his time in his sling because I can't bear to be away from him but we are all doing well. The kids adjusted to having him much better than I thought and so far there hasn't been any major jealousy or other badness. I am starting to get going dying and carding and spinning again, and I've got a ton of things to post about as I have time so there will probably be more than one in a day sometimes. Anyway, here is a picture of my guy. We named him Cassius.

The roughest month of my life

Well, I know that I kind of disappeared for a while, At the beginning of September my water broke early ( I wasn't due until nov. 9th) and I was put into the hospital. On the 17th I had the newest addition to our family, Cassius Sullivan Shaw. He weighed 5lbs 1 oz. and is mostly healthy.
I haven't felt much like blogging (or anything else) lately. He is still in the nursery and we are making the almost 2 hour drive to the hospital on a daily basis.
This has been a really hard last month and right now we are just trying to get through each day.
I am slowly trying to get everything back to normal though right now I'm kind of just going through the motions.
Hopefully this nightmare will all be over with soon, it's taken it's toll on all of us.
Thank you everyone for you thoughts and well wishes.

It's been forever

I seriously didn't realize that it had been so long! It's pregnancy hormones, I swear! I still don't feel very talkative. All is well but I am tired and ready to be done being pregnant. Will try to do a real blog post soon.

Goin Crazy

Well I have kind of retreated lately, the pregnancy hormones are not treating me well. I am bouncing from one extreme to another and it is really taking it's toll. I've still got morning sickness - of the never ending nausia variety. I've got bunnies for sale, new fibers dyed, and tonight I am going to pick up a bunch more fleeces if all goes as planned. But I am waiting on my camera to recharge so that I can take pictures.
I have been super stressed lately. We still haven't decided what curriculum we are going to use this year, but other than that things are going well. We've been without tv since june and it's wonderful. My kids have always been imaginative but yesterday I found them acting out the movie "The Incredibles" and they were doing a pretty good job of it! They even got little phinny involved and he was loving it.
We are getting ready to paint the kitchen in bright colors. And I got all the stuff I need for some bunny shed renovations that will make my life easier as I get bigger and it gets harder to do my chores.
We are 99% sure that the baby is going to be another boy. With the girls I am calm and lazy and get super huge. But this one is just like with phinny, except worse. The hormones are baaad. I am anxious and hyper without really accomplishing much. I've really only gotten big in the belly area. I'm a little nervous about the prospect of having two boys so close together. I can only imagine what it will be like when they are old enough to team up. Phinneas by himself is a tornado.

Look what I found!!

Please ignore the horrible mess in the background!! My vaccum is broken and I just couldn't wait to take pictures.

Okay so I found this wheel. It's pretty, seems to be in good condition. It's missing the thing that connects the treadle to the wheel, the drive band(s) and part of the flyer. I think that it is fixable.

It has made in Canada Stamped on the bottom but no other identifying marks. I want to clean it up nice but I don't know what to use. My neighbor (who is very handy) is making me a makeshift piece to connect the treadle to the wheel so that I can give it a test run and decide what to do with it. It does not seem to have an orifice, which is really confusing me, and I can't find anywhere that would adjust the tension either. All advice is appreciated. I am just so happy that I found it, it's so pretty!
