Chickens!!!

We're getting chickens this spring!!  I'm so excited!  Chicken eggs and meat are one of the main things that cause me anxiety in regards to food.  I am so picky about what I buy and usually am able to get farm fresh eggs from my aunt.  However, when I can't, I spend the big bucks and get the organic, cage free, etc. super expensive eggs.  Likewise, I spend big bucks on chicken as well.  In just a couple of months, we will be able to have our own farm raised, free range chickens!  Not only does that help financially, but it will also help to fertilize our lawn and garden as well as keep the bug population down.  Here is an example of a mobile chicken coop that we have in mind:

I can't wait to see what Jon comes up with.  I'm sure we'll modify a few designs to make something that works for us. 

On the IVF front, I start the Lupron injections tomorrow in my stomach.  Slightly nervous about it, but also looking forward to getting off the birth control next Wednesday!  Jon did awesome in injection training so I'm sure he'll have no problem mixing the meds and injecting them into my stomach, thighs and eventually hip/butt area.  In addition, the IVF specialist told us that if we remember to ask on the day of our retrieval, the nurses will draw 2 bullseye's on my upper butt/lower back area for the injections.  Sounds funny, but totally worth it to not get poked in the sciatic nerve!!

Keep us in your prayers!!
