First Time Mom

I remember finding out I was pregnant

{the first time}

and being excited and thrilled.

I wanted to know everything.

I googled.

I talked to my friends.

I talked to my mom.

I talked to other new moms.

I thought I was prepared.

I was nervously confidant 

I had Ellie.

She was perfect.

Things just kicked in.

I made a few mistakes.

I learned a lot more.

I still learn.

One thing that I love about homesteading/ hobby farming...

is the firsts.

Chicks are a first.

I have to be honest...

I am not a chicken lady.

I hope that my inner chicken lady emerges.

I am more nervous about chickens than I was about babies.

and now

I have 

baby chickens.

EEEEEK.

I have prepared.

I have built baby bird waterers

I have created a baby chick feeder.

I have nested.

they are here.

and 

I am more freaked out.

i really hope I don't kill them.

I have talked to other chicken ladies.

they assure me I am ready.

I really hope I Don't kill them....

{the egg carton feeder}

{it works like a charm}

{the Sour cream waterer}

{this took a little more ingenuity but I figured it out after a few botched attempts at other waterers}

{them in action}

Dusty built me a really awesome cat-proof lid

I will have to take another picture.
