Tues. 27th June
As I said……Tasha wasn’t going to wait so she popped out a little brown girl a week last Sunday, 8 days early so not too soon and she’s a good weight, a playmate for Amelia’s cria ‘Juno’ and Lacota’s cria ‘Terra’.
I guess that has started the ball rolling now because yesterday morning Tasha’s daughter Celeste followed in mums footsteps and birthed 12 days early!….one upmanship going on here me thinks!
A very dark brown, almost black boy, a little light in the weight department and a little crimpled around the edges, I think he must have been a bit jammed in thats why Celeste popped him out early!
See how he goes and make sure he’s getting plenty of milk to boost him up, bloomin’ flies are a pain at the moment, they cover their faces straight away.
Then blow me down this morning if Blaze didn’t give birth at 8.00am, Yvonne popped out to check everyone at 6.30 and they were all grazing happily, we had breakfast then wandered out and there was another newbie…………..
First time mum ‘Blaze’ popped out this little sweety, unfortunately another boy, this colour would have been lovely for a girl….. never mind. She was actually due tomorrow but was showing no signs of being close so we thought she would probably be late being a first timmer……..wrong!
He started feeding straight off which is always a good sign……might be quite a smart boy then!
………………………… INTERMISSION ………………….
Sorry for slight delay, on ‘cria watch’ as I’m typing this and Trisca who was due to birth yesterday was Very agitated and not comfortable this morning so I just popped out on hourly check-up and…. ……….. Ta DAA…….she’s gone and birthed as we speak!
Welcome to our world young lady……….Yup, a girl, well done Trisc!
Well, she’s a different colour-combo that’s for sure!
Two births today……so far!……..it’s like waiting for a buses and they all come at once, we’ve still got Brooklyn who is overdue by 6 days who could pop imminently, so interesting times……..current count is 4 girls and 2 boys……….love it!
