- Homesteading while pregnant isn’t always easy. Though I’ve had several children, this latest pregnancy has been the hardest by far, and I’ve had to learn some new ways of coping with the day-to-day while also looking after my own health.
Join me for today's Pantry Chat with Lacie Dickson from@MikeTheFitFarmeras we discuss the changes we're making on the homestead while pregnant.

My mom had 13 children, two sets of twins with the last twins still born. We are all natural birth with a midwife for 8 of us. She had no doctors around and we never lived close to a city. The still born twins were at the age of forty. I’m not sure there are many around that could garden, can, clean, cook and manage childbirth anymore. Of course we all had chores and we all did them. At the age of 12 the boys were officially young adults and we gave up some of our household chores to start farming. I still believe that mom worked harder than all the rest of us. May God Bless Mothers everywhere!!!
My last 2 were born when I was 40 & 42
Perfectly healthy and whole
My friend had 2 (her 8th & 9th) at 41 & 44, same story
One friend had her 9th at 48. Bouncy baby boy!
Oh gosh thats o sad. It’s bad enough to know your unborn child has died but to give birth then learn your babies have died is so very sad.
Well, I know several women who could, but yes, many couldn't and for many reasons, one of the main ones being not strong enough constitutions or health/energy. While there's long been toxic, dangerous things in society, like lead in face power ; some things they put in some foods ; DDT and more... SO many, esp. rural, people were not only not exposed to those, or as often, but also were eating SO,SO healthfully. We're taking not only not the amount of sugar or the junk food of recent generations, not only so much more veggies, esp. "greens" but wild foods too, which would be on "no-till" soils. From Sorrel and other wild greens and herbs, to fruits, nuts, game, fish. Foods growing and living on soil-life RICH soils. Then, SOOO much was eaten JUST picked, compared to past few decades, when even families ( here in western WI ) who grew big gardens, were generally all off doing their thing, at their jobs, and mom or Dad and the occasional kid, were the only ones doing most of gardening and preserving, so, only one's snacking as they did it. Many didn't even eat much of it fresh for meals. My MIL, my husband tells me, would have so much left from previous years she wanted used 1st, that they basically never ate fresh green beans, only canned, from previous years. My family didn't hunt, fish or know any wild foods really besides berries and apples, and all we had near us much for berries were black raspberries (which I adore !). We didn't have any growing in our yard either, except apples, when I was young. Neither of our families ate fermented foods raw (except mine with yogurt). We only knew to can the sour kraut, pickles, etc. , if we even made them ( my family never did anything pickled except cucumbers). My family didn't ear organ meats, my Dad's did liver on occasion, but we basically all hated it and gave up on it. My husband taught me how to cook it, and his family did heart too, and chicken gizzards and things. Organ meats, cod-liver oil, livestock raised in more of a pastured or even mostly all grass-fed ( a lot less grain for cattle, and they didn't get soy until very recently, even some small dairy farms near me in the 90s still didn't feed soybean meal.. quite rare though by then). So, besides all of the toxins from Mercury to carcinogens to what-all, teflon, emfs, herbicides , pesticides etc. in houses and on lawns, much less in our foods ! , artificial fragrances with their effects on our endocrine systems, aluminum, hydrogenated oils and HFCS and MSG (by it's plethora of aliases).... we are a few generations in of all of the crap, not to mention vaccines, and a LOT less of the good !
THEN, everything else the woman did except marriage and pregnancies, she often already had on nearly auto-pilot. I can do chores on a 100 cow stall barn dairy with my eyes closed and one arm compromised.... to exaggerated only with the eyes closed... that's how I spent my teens and 20s ( and some b4 then). While I did a fair amount of housework, water-bath canning and childcare in the earlier years (way too busy on farm later), I'm very rusty and many things I was never taught, or much, or have learned or done enough yet since, to be fast or confident or not have to look up the assembly, the recipe, the protocol, on things. While those women's girlhoods and adulthoods were often much harder in some ways, mine was often very abusive AND I wasn't taught traditional woman stuff much at all, and I really wish I had been. I always wanted to be a wife and mom, and since I read of it by age 13, homestead ( So, it's not like my parents didn't know where I was wanting to go with my life).
My mom has 7 and I the second oldest. My moms so cool.
A great follow up to this would be a discussion on newborns and babies on the homestead.
[Stephen’s wife, Laura] I agree, also! Maybe a postpartum-update with the babies to tell us about newborns/infants and juggling homesteading, nursing, recovery and baby’s needs as a priority! I am 5 months into postpartum now and beginning the baby teething stage. Homesteading can be so challenging with a baby whose needs are a top priority!
Such a great topic! I love being pregnant and homesteading. I just had number 10 in April and I've been a homesteading mama the whole time. My goal before each new baby has been to train the older ones to take over a new more complicated chore and have the younger ones take over an easier chore. With the most recent baby I taught the oldest ones to milk the goats and the younger ones to take over loading the dishwasher. Even the two year old could start cleaning his place after dinner. Homesteading pregnant and with a large family is so much fun!
This is beautiful 🥹 I Wish my husband had this mindset, that kids are not a burden..
Our oldest is 16 this month, and we are currently pregnant with our 5th. The older kiddos are such a game changer. They are fighting over who changes diapers, and who gets to feed, and who gets to rock to sleep the little ones lol. I find myself apologizing for them doing so much but they always reply they want to and enjoy it. I don't think they see it as work or chores really. More like doing their part to help the family flow. Our house has such a peaceful flow.
I absolutely loved helping with the babies when I was growing up, I had a very strong maternal instinct too though. My older sis did not, and she didn't seem to mind, even definitely enjoyed most of it (excepting diaper changes, and maybe extra chores like hanging out, taking down big loads of diapers off the clothesline, folding them etc. ) but we also had farm chores and our Dad had been quite abusive often, growing up and even when we were very young, she getting the brunt of the worst he'd ever really treated the very young. So, she'd adopted a bit of an attitude and a major longing to grow up, get out, do her own thing etc. . She went to live with relatives b4 turning 14. Nowadays, about 30 yrs later, she's telling me that she things a big part of the reason she's never really wanted kids is because she had to "basically be a second mom" ( which is NOT how I remember it, she didn't do that much, esp. by historic standards, !). I happen to know she never was the maternal type and that, in her 20s, she'd said she didn't see herself having to lug around car seats and things and base her schedule and life around a small child's needs, like some of her friends were having to do. So, no, I think she's now trying to justify any guilt trips over not having had kids (from society or whomever, it's not from me or any of us, other than things my dad said when we were little). So, IMO, yes, talk with your kids now and then to be sure they're still doing well with it, but for me, I would LOVE to relive that part of my life (sans my dad's issues). I GRIEVED when my 5 youngest little siblings weren't little anymore ( pre-teens at least) and later, had empty-nest syndrome when I moved out to marry ( I'd stayed due to farm and family issues leaving no other choice, out of love for them all, but esp. the kids).
That's how I grew up, always tending to my 5 little sisters, now I'm expecting my first and feel like I have some idea what I'm doing.
I know it was brief, but I love the discussion on making mistakes with our children but then remembering to ask for forgiveness 💜 once we get that down it's smooth sailing
I had 4 sons raised in Alaska. I loved the life. Sadly it didn't last. I'm 71 next week & my nephew said, Auntie come to Georgia and let's truly homestead. I had a friend who was 70 and homesteaders so I can do the same.
I love you both. Thank you for all I've learned from you two and Shivers Homestead.
This advice is good for us that are not expecting too. So much of giving yourself grace, drinking water, etc. Those are all things that I fail to do so much of the time. So thanks to both of you for the reminders and prayers for healthy safe deliveries!
I thinks each pregnancy is different. You do what you can. I used to think I had to do it all. With my third pregnancy - I had a 3 and 5 year old and we had our little mini farm. I had the worse back pains with this pregnancy. My ex was in the military and had to be away for awhile. I had 2 cows, 2 pigs, 2 horses, chickens, etc. Thank God for my neighbors. She would send her husband down to feed the animals for me. She taught me so much about pruning, and growing certain things. They treated us like we were family and that meant so much to me.
I gave birth to 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. Have 13 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter at 60. And wanted to say they were all different even though they were all natural births with no complications. Ranging from 8 lbs 7 ounces to 9 lbs 5 ounces I'm so blessed with all 4 of them. Been praying for you both ♡♡
I'm 24 weeks with my first. Also a boy :) Watching your videos has really helped me be less worried and much more calm about pregnancy and labor.
You girls are right...we're told to do everything and not need a man or anyone to help but it's sure nice to have them.
Yea it is well and good for a man and wife to be present together in birth. How God intended childbirth to be. ❤️ Balance
Praying for healthy babies!
I really enjoyed your conversation!
THANK YOU!!! 9 weeks postpartum here in central TX where we had a brutal summer 🥵. I turned 40 today (woohoo!!!) and this only gets harder the older we get. I appreciated so very much of this! Homesteading and pregnancy is a really difficult combination, so this was a great topic to address! Thanks for the honesty as well. I really struggled with feeling like I was lazy and not contributing. I think God had things to teach me in the process. Postpartum has been significant as well… continuing to need to take it easy and be mindful of healing well.
Blessings to you both as you finish this marathon well and in postpartum too!!!
Well said Lacey 👏
I absolutely loved this! We started homesteading 6 years ago with a 2 and 1 year old. I am just now coming to the end of another pregnancy with our 6th child. 4 full term pregnancies plus two miscarriages in the 6 years we’ve been homesteading. I’ve known no other way to homestead. I’ve never had the chance to chat with another mom about homesteading while pregnant and this video helped me realize that I am so very normal! I was nodding my head the whole time and totally connected with everything you discussed (except having older kids to help, not there yet). I reached my “I can’t” for a lot of things at about 25 weeks but have still processed chickens a couple times and harvested and canned a fair amount. At this point all I am doing is milking the goats. I can hardly bend over to pull on my boots anymore lol. One thing I have found very helpful for me is to disconnect from social media. It helped me stop the comparing game so that I could actually give myself grace. I am at peace with the slower pace I’ve had to work and for all the “failures” that have happened because I haven’t been able to pull my full weight on the homestead. Also, a SI joint support belt (I have a serola) has been a lifesaver for me.
Oh my word, THANK YOU for sharing about your experience with a SI joint support belt!! I am on my second pregnancy, and my hips, lower back, and thigh have been KILLING me. My Chiro keeps telling me it’s because I didn’t “wait long enough” between pregnancies, and while I recognize the truth behind giving your body time to heal, I despise the idea that space between pregnancies magically makes them easier. My husband and I tried for almost 3 years to get pregnant with our first child, and that pregnancy wrecked my body. This time around has been so much easier, but I believe the pain I’m experiencing is SI joint pain. Funny that she didn’t bring that up as a possibility. 🧐
O wow! Just learned Lacie is having a boy ! Congrats! Congrats to both of you ❤️ ❤️
Good advice even if you're not pregnant never be afraid to ask for help. Best of luck to you both with the rest of your term.
I have looked at Yurts for about 4 years. Thank you for sharing all this. I am in the Mid-South also. Please keep us posted on both of your journeys.
Awesome discussion! I a m not pregnant but I learned so much about maintaining my own health from your talk! Blessings on happy births to both of you ❤️
Yes! I still suffer with standing versus moving
Absolute lovely chat. I just want to remind your ladies, you are actually working as well, growing a new little life, one of the greatest jobs in the world, so give yourself some grace that like any hard job, you need to rest and take breaks. I typed this before you both started saying it, so women unite lol
Yes! I was dealing with high blood pressure before using Redmond's
With my first all I wanted to do was eat & sleep but of course couldn't with the others
I would like to say first that you both are very lucky to have such a tight knit and loving family. I hope that's what our small family becomes. ❤ I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. It has been a huge challenge to homestead with them. However, I think next year will be better with my son turning 2 in May. When my daughter was 2, that's when she started helping more. It has been amazing to see what toddlers are capable of. This year my 3 year old helped pluck chickens!
Ur in momma bootcamp
Persevere, you ll become a skilled momma!
All this enthusiastic talk about staying cool in heat while pregnant was so relatable. Iv had a pregnancy in a travel trailer in Texas heat. You just can’t get that AC cool enough to fight off 3 digits in a trailer.
Also the internal struggle giving responsibility but not transferring all the workload. Appreciate these discussions!
❤️
I gave birth to my 5th baby October 5th and I relate to EVERYTHING y’all said! Homestead mommas have a hard time stopping and letting other ppl do stuff. But my husband like yours knows when I need to rest. I loved this chat. I wish I could have sat and talked with y’all. This was great
I also drank Redmond Relyte through my whole pregnancy and i felt Great and I never swelled!
Congratulations Carolyn!!! This is so exciting! I love having a big family. I only have one biological child but I’m an adoptive mother (adopted 2) have a step daughter, a daughter that I haven’t adopted but she’s mine and calls me mom (her choice to not be adopted) and foster mother! So we have lots of kiddos here too on this homestead!!
I follow you both ♡♡ Lacey longer, but love yas both ❤️ ❤️
As for helping to keep cool as you are moving: those of us in the renaissance fair/cosplay community have thing called a "bodice chiller", that you fill with ice water and plant in your cleavage. It. Works. WONDERS. (You can also fill it with something warm in the winter as well.)
My bladder was always the cause of my insomnia during pregnancy
I can't tell you how very much I love this! Love both you ladies and we are praying for you both through your pregnancies and beyond. ❤❤
Just remember ladies, you are working being pregnant you are growing a person. That is a great deal of work. Make sure you remember that.
I'm 28 wks and for the first two trimesters I couldn't drink tap water or eat anything really but apples and maybe a little cheese. Thanksgiving was fun...not. My daughters have become a lot more helpful, but they are only two and three!
Oh, and my first planting date for my garden is four days before my due date!
Ladies, you're glowing and bringing back some wonderful memories. I was big pregnant with my first born in Orlando, Florida in summer (season really doesn't matter in Orlando....it was 102°F on Christmas that year) and my husband would take me to the Commisary and park my wheelchair in the frozen foods section nearly every day. And frozen fruit smoothies and coke slushies were the best! Thank you for a lovely chat.
I had all of my kids at home with no encouragement from my extended family - except my granny who said she had had all of her kids at home with no doctor or midwife. I'm in my 70's now and don't regret a thing. Blessings to you both!
People are slowly going back to this home birth unassisted thing. I am not a midwife but I caught my friends baby last month, she was a nurse, and knew risks but chose me for whatever reason. And it went beautifully. Most births go smoothly but I'd definitely say anything you choose to do or to not do can come with risks and you need to know those risks and make your own choice for your baby.
The way the weather is going crazy lately I wanted to emphasize on what these lovely ladies stared on.....if your from the north...anything that you would make sure to cover during winter...feet neck hands head....uncover for hot temps....visa vesa for people from the south trying to stay warm...also make sure to tuck your clothing into each other...shirt tucked in socks over leggings..also have a snug layer as your base and a looser layer over top..air gaps have R value..so its gives a bit of insulation..the fewer drafts in your clothes the warmer you'll be able to stay...God Bless us all in this crazy weather we've been having.!!
Appreciated your sense of balance with your kids and responsibility. We all know what it feels like with too much responsibility burden and starting to feel bitter. Wise words wise Mom.
Yes I love the Redmond’s electrolytes!
For me I normally butcher all the road kill deer through the mountain pass in December when it's well below freezing. My morning sickness hit a high right before the full moon, which is the bigest wave of the year. I'm still kinda mad I have to stop doing it but I just couldnt handle it. Threw up 3 times last time I tried and had to ask my sister and husband for help. 😑 don't like being stopped. But yay I am also preg! With my first! Yay!
[Stephen’s wife, Laura] Wow!! Such a helpful topic! Thank you! I’m 45 and just came through this for my 8th pregnancy (5th earthside healthy baby, delivered at home in June)! Homesteading while pregnant is doable, but really hard - especially when you hit the, just “I can’t” like you talked about. Having realistic expectations is so important!! ALso, adding salt to my drinking water and eating extra protein was crucial for me! And if anyone has not heard of the Dr. Brewer diet for pregnancy, that was incredibly helpful to me also, and I would encourage anyone to research it! Thank you ladies so much! Love you ladies! Blessings on your births! ❤️
On the adding salt to water, some say NOT to do that, that one should take the salt separately ( shake in hand and lick it, is one way) , and drink bulk of daily water plain, as that's the only way it "picks up" the toxins to take out of body, or is able to truly hydrate the best, I forget which but both I've been told, I'm pretty sure, by a friend of my mom's who researched this a lot. IDK, but just an idea to either research it or err on the side of how water is nature is...has minerals, yes, but how much salt ? ( and drinking ocean water will Dehydrate you, for ex., too ). I like a lot of salt on my food and don't mind licking salt or taking swigs of pickle juice, on those high-water summer days.
@@ajb.822 [Stephen’s wife, Laura] I do agree that too much salt is not good. What I did, and what worked very well for my body, was put 1/4 tsp. of Pure Salt in a 16oz. bottled spring water, once or twice daily during my pregnancy. I could always tell if I had too little salt by the amount of swelling I had. The rest of the day I drank plain filtered water. According to the research (and studies available to the public) of Dr. Brewer, salt helps to carry the excess fluids around the body properly, as opposed to just pooling in the extremities. It is always great to do lots of research on any recommendations!
I’m glad to watch this today! 27weeks with #3 and definitely feeling like I’m not keeping up with the homestead (or my expectations of myself compared to previous pregnancies). This is encouraging that I am probably normal 😅
Good to see both of you ladies. Blessings on your pregnancies. ❤katie
I enjoyed this video and connecting with other pregnant moms. I am pregannt with out 4th...suprise baby boy due later April. my oldest is 19...So yes a surprise but we are thrilled . so fun...thx for sharing
I take the Redmond immune booster everyday & love it! All my health issues are from an autoimmune disease. I never have to push myself to drink bc I drink 2 gallons of water a day, but needed the electrolytes. Love the Remond salt products!
Love both of you ladies! Congratulations to you both!
I'm due in February too! I feel so connected to you guys right now. 😆
Lacie ~ I'm Not a doctor, but having had terrible morning sickness as well as toximia, and talking to many mom's, I think it may have a LOT to do with MTHFR, a genetic mutation where you can not Methylated the B vitamin's. Meat is full of B vitamins. Good Health ~!
Currently pregnant with our surprise boy! 🙏 We're due in April! Let's just say, surprise is an understatement! The farm must be good for us. 😉 I'm 35 and we have an 11 year old and a 9 year old. My hubby and I have been managing our little farm for two years, but we moved out here full-time this past spring. I'm currently feeling guilty about the amount of work my hubby has had to take on due to my nausea and exhaustion, but he's happy to do it and our kids help. This video helped my confidence so much! Thank you.
I have severe spine, disc & joint disease with severe pain. I LOVE my cushioned kitchen rugs. I also have barstool height stools which I top with a pillow & soft blanket. I can process food at the counter sitting on that stool when needed. Another trick that might help you moms in the kitchen.
Do the rugs have a special name? What do I look for?
When Lacie said she she draug a chaise lounge into the cooler 😂🤣😃. Yes girl, I heard that !!! Good advice, Caroly, on the ice foot bath. 👍 Thank you for this informative and fun chat.🙌
What are things you should not do while pregnant? Dangers to pregnant women?
Also, a Cinderella party is fun and helpful when sick or bed rest.
We had -15*F last night and 24 hours later 22*F and fresh snow.
I am past this point in my life but I definitely still learned from y’all. Great info and so happy for y’all and your baby journey.
How exciting! Congratulations Carolyn!
I had morning sickness with just one of my pregnancies -(number 5 ) also continual for a couple weeks before one of my kids actually suggested I stop my prenatal vitamin because I never could tolerate vitamins when I wasn’t pregnant -(this was back 30 years ago and I didn’t take natural vitamins -which I do now; I would take a one shot chemical pill)
So I stopped the prenatal vitamin the next day, and got right up out of bed, and never had another moment of sickness !!
I’m just guessing you wouldn’t put chemical vitamins in your body either so that probably wasn’t your issue but I thought I’d mention it just in the case that someone else ever has the same problem that I had. It was the prenatal vitamin that I was prescribed.
Thank you ladies so much for being so real about the challenges of family life on the homestead and just in the modern day! I so needed to hear that message of Grace today and to remember that humility goes right along with a strong dose of love and that that is sometimes the best things we can teach our children! You two are an inspiration, thank you so much for all your work! I always love watching your videos and I hope that the rest of your pregnancy is absolutely smooth sailing!
My comment to all mother's & those that want to be mother's; Your baby can learn while in the womb. Take the resting times to sing the alphabet or counting, play classical music, read childrens books out loud & start early when the baby is being formed by our Holy Almighty Creator, and increase the text to multiple subjects [ Simple math: counting, increase to simple addition, then subtractions, etc.] (be repetitive for 1 week with each topic of your choice, for what you want your child to know).
There are children who's parents have done this & their children are writing books by the time they are 5 years old.
My husband & I met a couple that were actively doing this and they would give their children (at 5 years old that had already wrote a couple of books) a drawing pad with color pencils & the children went out and one found a Robin's nest & drew the birds as they would fly back & forth to gather food for their young, and their drawings were amazingly accurate & quite beautiful!
The young man showed me his drawing book & all the different things he drew and he was extremely articulate & told me he was nocturnal (it made me smile & I was so proud of him and his parents), he said he likes to stay up at night to listen to the noises of nocturnal animals & he even told me of a few animals that were nocturnal❣
I just want mothers to know they can start home schooling in the woumb & they will be amazed at the results of how quickly these children will develope & they will be able to accomplish so much in their early years all tge way to adulthood.
I pray you both and other mother's to be will have healthy and happy children that will be able to contribute to their community and share the things thay know just like tgeir awesome parents❣
Amen 🙌 💞 🥰 🙋♀️
The young one's are sponges when it comes to learning
When ur tired n resting
REST
Sleep if possible
Stare at the ceiling
Sing to urself
Nothing else matters
REST

Getting a nap when the mother needs it is important for the mother & for the baby. Both share all emotions & it effects the both of them equally.
I'm refrencing when a mother just needs to sit down & take a break from laborious work & have a cup of system strengthening tea like peppermint, or calming tea like chamomile etc.
The child that is being created in her womb is the MOST IMPORTANT one to put her attention to & keeping her immune system functioning properly is KEY to a healthy baby.
These other things are also important for the development of her baby's learning abilities.
It's a win win for both the mother & the baby & it also strengthens the bonding process that takes place first in the womb.
Our Holy Almighty Creator will bless the parents with healthy creative children when they work together to make sure their children are trained up right, starting in the womb.
Through Him all blessings flow❣

My mom had 13 children.
My 3rd is Due in early March too! With a Girl!
I wish this would have been a live video. My one question is for both of you, will you be having midwives delivery service or will you deliver in a hospital?
Not sure about Lacie, but I am *planning* another home birth with my midwife… if everything stays healthy through the end of the pregnancy!
Omgoodness...all I can see is Father of the bride 2... with the men wearing winter coats and 4 window units....lol
During my pregnancies I have fallen in the bathroom. So much so that I now have a complex about locking the bathroom doors, even public bathrooms. My youngest is about to turn 8.
Bless you two, and I send prayers for easy deliveries and healthy beautiful babies. Love you both as I follow both channels and always learn something.
I have seen many of your herbal med videos. I am wondering if you could do one on first aid supplies you stock up on for both minor and emergency situations. A scrape verses getting stabbed in the hand by a dirty knife when scooping up a child out of a more pressing emergency situation.
Congrats to you both!!
I'm 32 weeks with my second baby and loved this video. Made me laugh!
💚ive this conversation, Ladies! Thanks so much. 💚
Do you both homeschool as well as homestead? I'm on my second year homeschooling. I am 42. And we are praying for another pregnancy. I guess question is now that I'm a homesteader how do we naturally keep our immune system up when alot of herbs are not recommended? What if you get covid today while pregnant and what to take safely and organically? Love both of your shows. Thank you. God bless
Cool Lacie I'm in NC in a beautiful wooded area about 3 hours away from you! How fun.
Ok, I’d love some input from you ladies as to what you think the best time to get pregnant as a homestead mama. I am planning for my 4th and I am struggling with which time of year to be pregnant/have a newborn here on a busy homestead. My last baby was born on the 1st day of spring and it was so magical but my garden was completely neglected =(
Praying for you both! God Bless you and hope your doing well!
Wow, never heard of these belly wraps, that would've been so nice for me. I always had back labors ugh. At 60 i still suffer from it in my back

You are pregnant why do you want me to buy pads on my way over
I'm sick and tired of going to the bathroom every three seconds and on the way there the baby deciding to bounce on my bladder so I need to change my underwear.
I'm also pregnant but this time I'm restricted to not lift things or working out. So this spring is gonna be different for the garden until I have this one in May.
I really enjoyed this one y'all thanks ladies 😊
LETTING OTHERS serve lets them get blessings! and love yourself slow down
Dearest Carolyn, please consider investing in a nice pair of crocs as house shoes. They're like that floor mat but mobile 😁 ...they're a lifesaver when you're heavy with child and still have to manage the house and homestead.
77 yo saying...good job girls, I wish I had a support network such as this during my working life xxxx blessing n
I've been following Lacey and Mike for years and they are wonderful parents and I'm sure you and your husband are too ♡
This is interesting.
Congratulations ladies on your babies!
I remember the episode where Selah said she was praying.
Jessica from three Rivers homestead is pregnant too. Due in December I think. She has a bunch of littles too
2 beautiful ladies ♡♡
The belly wraps are such a game changer. I wore them with my pregnancies and kept it on until I was resting.
You both are glowing. Thank you.
Remember a busy kidney is a happy kidney...
