they like me - 05:49 PM
(filed under 'animal')

i think the chookies like me. i checked on them this afternoon & when i approached the shed door they all ran toward me to greet me. *smile*

i sat down in the corner to watch them for a few minutes & they crowded around my feet & walked under my legs. a couple of them even jumped up on the edge of the brick i was sitting on & looked at me. they let me reach out & touch them, too. i thought that was pretty cool, but then willa jumped onto my knee! that was very, very cool. she is so brave.

naughty rudegere - 05:38 PM
(filed under 'baby')

rudegere scared me again this afternoon. i hadn't felt him move very much today & so finally i ended up lying down & sitting up & jiggling him around & poking him to try to get him to move. finally i sat down all squished up, which he seems to dislike, because he starts to poke at me from the inside, & he began to move around. it's a real stress when he's quiet for a long time.

online, i've seen places where you can hire those fetal heart beat monitors, but it seems it's only overseas. i just made a few calls to some chemists to see if they hire them out, but it seems you can only get them through doctors &, i dare say, only if you have reason to be worried, more than just as a peace of mind thing.

by the time i see my obstetrican again there'll only be two to four weeks to go anyway. i may ask him about them anyway.

cheep cheep cluck cluck - 01:33 PM
(filed under 'animal')

since the chookies are still young, they've been saying "cheep cheep cheep" just like little chicks do. when we got them, they already had feathered bodies but most still had yellow heads. they're growing up so fast though, because already, most of them have lost the yellow fuzz on their heads to the feathers coming through.

i wondered how old they would be before their voices started to change, so to speak. this morning while i was out there checking on them, i distinctly heard one of them say, "cluck cluck" instead of "cheep". it was just one isolated "cluck" & sounded sort of immature, but it was most definitely a "cluck" not a "cheep". soon they'll all be saying "cluck" instead of "cheep".

how exciting. *smile*
