Wow, I really haven't posted on here in quite a while! I just wanted to post a little update on what's been going on recently! Starting with the most important:
Baby #2 - I Love Being Pregnant:
We are having a home birth -- with Little Loo we ended up transporting after 31 hours before maternal exhaustion became a problem...little did we know I was in transition, but hey -- now I know what to expect!
I'm really looking forward to giving birth at home. Laboring at home was such a delight and actually bringing my child into the world in the comfort of home...I can't imagine how amazing it's going to be. :)
I think it's a girl. Please, let it be a girl. I'm so attached to her name: Ember Sloan.
Chicken Chopping: A Crazy Experience
 |
| These are all my chickens. A couple of months back, a week or so after I found out I was pregnant...I decided to slaughter one! |
 |
| I built a fire, fashioned a grate, and boiled some really hot water to scald the feathers off of the chicken after it was dead. |
 |
| There she is...hanging upside down for a minute to calm down so I can slit her throat. |
 |
| Sparing you the slaughtering scene...there she is while I'm plucking feathers and cutting her open to remove the innards. Unfortunately, I didn't know that she was just starting to lay again, so there was a production line of eggs inside of her. |
 |
| The chicken after it was cooked, pulled apart. |
 |
| Aaaand...the left over bones! |
