Here I am. Nothing wonderful to report, except we did have sunshine in this Pemberton Valley today. The fog clings to the hills and slithers through the streets like an unwanted left over party guest. I prefer Mexico.
The second grandchild is still reluctant to leave its 5 star accommodation and I must prepare myself for the bitter truth. It ain’t happening. I leave Saturday, and if that baby wants to meet its Grandma, get busy!
its difficult to carry on as usual. Not so difficult for N., the first born. His needs are met, no problem. His poor mother, however, is being watched like a hawk. Every frown, sneeze or groan graded for productivity.
Babies come when babies are ready. Just keep repeating this over and over. Walk more. Maybe we should do a bunch of baking? Any suggestions?

Castor oil did the trick for me – but I never dared tell my pediatrician that was how I went from beached whale to an exhausted but happy new Mom in less than 12 hours…

Desperate measures for sure, but that’s about how you feel when you’re ready.

Oh Yea! I hadn’t seen my legs for months, they were like huge logs – I could use my belly as a TV-tray…

I walked and walked and picked raspberries the night before my 2nd one. Woke up, got to the hospital with 8 minutes to spare! 😉

And I bet you made raspberry jam when you got home too!

As a matter of fact, I did. 🙂 I used to love canning. Got away from it years ago. But loved it when I did it.

I made crockpot strawberry jam here last summer. Turned out decent freezer jam. My grandson liked it and that was the point.☺️

You manage to say something brilliant even when you think you don’t. Now because of you and Colleen I am hungry for toast and jam but have none!

I now have 2 grandchildren and probably a couple more in a few years from my other son who just got married. I saw a baby in your blog. Is that your first?
