@bethanneg1217 that's unfortunate. A few of ours were hit and miss. I think they try to introduce lesser known authors at times.

Speaking as someone who recently lost our last farm animal after 20 years, just remember, especially as someone who likes to travel, you have to find someone to feed them. You can always travel with Duke and baby, cows and chickens not so much😉 And Tiffany you are just glowing, continuing to pray for a safe baby and mommy!

I’m sure they’ll be fine he has 18 siblings and the majority of them live in Tennessee so I’m sure they’ll always have someone

Put a twin bed in the baby’s room so if the baby is fussy or ill, one of you can be in there to comfort him/ her. Also add a comfortable nursing chair for Tiffany. Both things will come in really handy, especially at night. You also might want to get a white noise player especially if that room is close to other active rooms in the house. It will help distract the noise that goes into the baby’s room. 💕💕💕💕

Buy Baby Signs. It teaches the baby simple sigh language. My granddaughter was able to tell us things before she even learned to speak. I highly recommend this book. Congratulations to the both of you. You're going to be great parents.

A great book for your baby is, I love you forever

My boys both loved Hungry Little Caterpillar and the Kissing Hand.

My Grandson’s favorite book is “The monster at the end of the book”. It is so fun to read!!

Beautiful prayer. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life and your faith with us. It’s very uplifting to watch a young couple like y’all be so fervent in your relationship with God and so thankful!

I used to read nursery rhymes books to my babies. They knew them all before they even started nursery school. So many parents, now a days, don't even know the nursery rhymes themselves. Then move on to counting and teaching colors books. By two years old, both of my children knew how to count and all their colors, as well as being able to recite nursery rhymes and songs. Also, buy a lot of children's Bible stories books.

Interactive books are great for the first year! Flaps to looks under, puppets to hug, textures to feel, etc were my grandkids’ favorites.

If it's a boy my favorite book is "I'll love you forever". My aunt got it for me when I was having my first son 23 years ago, we've had a daughter and three other sons since then. God bless your growing family ❤

I love how you pray together 🙏🏻🥰

Duke has such a great temperament! He's going to be great with the baby. Shepherds tend to be very watchful and protective of children. A built in Nanny 😄👍🏼

There are actually " mini/ small cows" , we have a 40 inch tall 4 year old Dexter cow, we milk her and get a gallon each milking , We milk once a day. Dexter cows are perfect for small farms with small amounts of pasture.😊 I'm not sure how much land y'all have but 1 Acer of land works for 1-2 dexter cows :)

My favorite book was- I Love You Forever and Goodnight moon

great idea for fruit trees, you will be surprised over the years with fruit to enjoy and even share.

I think a baby Bible and Bible stories are my favorite books to give to little ones - even babies! 🧸❤

If you don’t want a bed ( not crib) in the nursery, we did a rocker recliner. You can rock the baby or recline to nap if needed.

Lawson you did a great job getting things cleaned up and done. Tiffany is so cute w/her baby bump. Poor Duke is gonna have to share his dad n mom w/his new sibling n his yard with chickens. lol. I hope y’all continue to be blessed and that the rest of the pregnancy is smooth sailing. God bless yall n thanks for sharing! 🙏❤️

My son as well as my two grandboys loved the book Chicka chicka boom boom . It will help with learning the alphabet.

Hanging your tools on the wall is an excellent idea! 💯

When having chickens or even ducks, my recommendation is to put the hutch a little further from the house, it helps with being able to use the space of your yard.

Lawson I just hanged my tools on the wall and they are still hanging. Just make sure that you put them in studs so they will hold.

CONGRATS LOOKS GOOD!!! My favorite childrens books are" LOVE YOU FOREVER" prepare to cry my kids are practically grown and I still cry every time I read it, & "ARE YOU MY MOTHER? "
