Two Turtledoves

We have some news to share! I just had to join the ranks of all my pregnant friends. We found out about a month ago that we are expecting baby number 3! I am due in late November and right now am feeling the full effects of morning (all day) sickness. Can't wait for that second trimester and hopefully I will feel more like being a human again. One of the worst things right now is that I can smell e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. And trust me, Bakersfield is not a place where you want to have a heightened sense of smell (lots of dairy farms outside of town).

Last week I discovered a nest in our backyard, I finally figured out which regulars at our birdfeeder were the nesters and it turns out to be a couple of turtledoves. They are sweet and I can hear them cooing when I have the back windows open. I even saw the babies yesterday though they look more like adolescent birds. I guess the nest had been there for a while before I even realized it.
