This is getting ridiculous!

Still no lambs. We thought for sure Aoife would lamb this last Thursday as you could see a tiny bit of an amniotic sac poking out of her girly parts. But no, nothing! Selfishly, I'm ready for her to have these babies so I don't have to look at her girly parts so often or read/send random texts to/from Farmer J talking about said girly parts! 

If she holds out to March, I won't be surprised. We've stopped trying to predict when she'll go into labor!

But then I think to myself, maybe tomorrow...forecast is sunny and temperatures will be in the mid-50s! Perfect lambing weather!  

On a completely different note, I apologize for the obvious break in daily blog posts! In the last week, I have had three different iPhones due to washing iPhone #1, iPhone #2 (the replacement phone wouldn't charge and had to be sent back and it took an additional 2-3 days to get and set up iPhone #3! The low point was when I started crying in the
AT&T store. 

One major downside to rural living- poor internet access! I'll go into this more fully another day but the short version is, the only way we can get internet in our home  is through our mobile phone hot spots! Therefore, no iPhone, no home internet either! The result: the fewer blog entries and tears of frustration, along with feeling like I was once again living in the 90s!

What I've learned the hard way:
- check coat pockets for phones before they get washed
-back up your phone frequently 
-check out internet access options before you move to a rural location and realize that cable high speed internet is highly unlikely when you live in the country
