A Moby, a Stroller, a Garden, and a Mama

Whoa, 2 posts in 2 days...I'm obviously on a roll! Just returned from the farm and the baby is sleeping peacefully out in the car. Yes, I have decided that it is perfectly acceptable to leave my little babe in the comfort of the car because she ALWAYS wakes up when I try to bring her in. But be not afraid, I check on her constantly and make sure the temp of the car is Goldilocks perfect. And when I say a lot I mean it...shoot I have checked on her 3 times while writing this paragraph;-)

Anyhoo...this are really heating up out at the farm. Framing inspections are being done Monday and then full steam ahead with sheetrock. The blueberries are all in bloom and weeds are beginning to infiltrate the garden. Because I was pregnant...and hot...and lazy last year I basically grew 3 tomatoes and a bunch of lovely weeds. I am not paying for this. I have approximately 300,657 hours of work to accomplish in order to be able to plant and about 3 weeks to get it all done. No biggie;-) But the super stellar news is that we have picked our first asparagus spears of the year! And they will be soup tonight. We have come to realize that both Jon and I love asparagus. And did you know that it will grow without much help for 20 plus years!!!! Providing you with lovely green veg early early in the spring.

So, I decided that we made the asparagus bed much much too small and decided to plant more crowns today. And so came the conundrum of new motherhood. "Where does baby go when mommy needs to work?"

I pulled out the Moby first, a wrap that allows me to wear Katelyn securely on my chest. (And yes the proper term is "wear" its called "babywearing" its a big trend...all the cool kids are doing it) However, bending over with said baby on said chest is laborious and felt dangerous and uncomfortable to her.

I then got out the car seat stroller combo thingy and wheeled it through the bumpy treacherous garden...are you getting a visual? She proceeded to scream when placed in said stroller. Even when given loud music playing toy...and soft teething toy...and homemade bunny toy. GRRRR...

So my big lesson for today? Mama is the best baby "holder thingy" Which is fine with me because I love holding me some baby Katelyn...just not when I need to plant asparagus.

So I did what any good mom in my situation would do, I fed her, put her in her carseat, drove 5 min away from the farm so she would fall asleep, turned around, and finished my garden chores:-0

Like a boss!
