Meet the Newest Farmer-baby!

The day finally arrived when we got to meet our newest farmer baby! Late, as usual (all 4 of our other babies were way overdue when they were born!), so when baby #5’s due date came along and there was still no sign of baby… we decided to have a little fun and let our readers guess his actual birthdate for a chance to win some meat money.

We had 10 correct guesses for the date out of 110 responses (keep reading to find out the winner of the drawing for $25 worth of farm goodies!). Just for kicks, we also asked if you thought girl or boy, and 69 of you said girl, but only 42 thought boy. Surprise! Tevka remains the only girl, right smack in the middle of 4 strong brothers!

Meet Daniel Luther Cadman, born on March 10 at 7:15 a.m., weighing 8’13” and measuring 21” long. He was born at home under the care of Midwife Sarah Friberg with Beautiful Blessings Midwifery.

The four older children are delighted to have a new baby brother!

It was a bit of a whirlwind weekend, and we had to miss my youngest brother’s wedding and postpone our Shreveport drop, but we are so glad baby arrived safely and were very pleased to have a quiet Sunday to rest and rejoice with family over the gift of baby Daniel. Special thanks to the Rueggs, who helped get the word out to our gracious Shreveport folks that had planned to pick up Saturday morning. And of course, special thanks to grandparents who help us in so many ways through these times.

We are tired, but very happy, which is a good way to be! 🙂

The Winning Guess!

Our winner for the drawing for $25 worth of farm goodies is … Teresa Spears! Congrats, Teresa, and GOOD GUESS! 🙂
