Baby Could Come Any Day… We Can’t Leave the Island

Описание: The baby could come any day now… so we’re not leaving the island.
With Kelly this close, I’m sticking around and keeping things going here at home—making sure the house is warm, we’ve got water, and everything is ready for when the time comes.
We start the week down at the wharf on a cold, icy morning helping get Patty’s boat ready for crab season. Fresh snow on the ground, hands going cold, but once we get into a rhythm it all comes together.
Back at the house, we slow things down and head out for a boil-up by the fire. Kelly tries stick bread for the first time and we cook up a simple feed of beans, moose bologna, kippers, and tea. Nothing fancy, just a good meal and a bit of time together before everything changes.
The days after that are all about the basics. Hauling water from the well, cutting firewood, and keeping things running while we wait. Another bit of weather rolls through and Kelly’s been laid up getting lots of rest, so I’ve been keeping busy around the house and taking care of things. Just taking it one day at a time out here. Not long now.
Thanks for being here with us again this week. We will update everyone when baby Skote arrives!
