Title: One left to launch!
Post by: Pedwardine on May 02, 2013, 12:21:22 am

Hi guys, Just one ewe left to lamb. Eyebright is due tomorrow but may do her stuff tonight. Grinding her teeth a little, breathing like she's concentrating. V excited and precious about this young lady. Seems not long ago she was a baby herself. She's a darling girl with the prettiest pale blue grey fleece and a super nature. She's been letting me sit with her feeling the babies moving in her tummy, wagging her tail as I run my hands over her. I so hope this last one goes smoothly and the twins inside her have no complications. She looks wonderful pregnant. Even her udders are pretty covered with the same pretty fluff as the rest of her. Fingers crossed.

She's had twin girls. Whoo hoo. Feel really strange knowing I don't have to stay up 'til 3am anymore. Going to take a while to get back in synch.
Anyway here's our lovely girl and her smashing babbas.
