Marina – I’m so glad you enjoyed reading this post! Having a baby on a homestead changes so many things, but it’s been an amazing experience thus far and I wouldn’t want to do it any other way. Congratulations on your growing family and homestead! Let me know if you decide to document your journey online, I’d love to read about it!

My husband and I are expecting our first child in June and are smack-dab in the middle of settling into our rural Saskatchewan homestead! We started this journey a year and a half ago, and always planned on having children (one of the big reasons for moving here was wanting to raise our kids in a rural, homestead setting and not in the city), but always thought we’d be a little more ‘settled’ than this before they came along (lol, the best laid plans, right?). We chose to move to land that was originally settled by my ancestors just over 100 years ago, and where my grandmother had lived her life…while not as remote as you (we have the privledge of electricity- yay for electric stoves!), there have definitely been some pros (road access, the ability to drive to town if we need to, and established neighbors) and cons (think 60-year-old wire fences that have fallen into the ground and become overgrown all over our build site) to our land choice. That being said, we are so excited and feel so blessed that our child will be joining us here, where we can garden, tend to our animals and hopefully continue working towards our goals of solar-power, wood heat, homegrown food and self-sufficiency. I’m also coming to completely understand the reality of being pregnant and how that changes what I can and can’t do around our farm to prepare! It’s so good to read about someone else who understands what that’s like and that it’s still totally worth it!
Congratulations on your baby girl! I know your homesteading adventures will be that much more amazing (albeit challenging) with her around! I look forward to reading your future posts!!
