The Three Most Wonderful Words....
The three most wonderful words that Brent could have said to me on Tuesday...........
I'd been planning a blog post about being on "Baby Watch", but it was over before it barely began. One of our heifers, Team Mardi Gras, (a very nice, potential to be shown & sold in the future, has her own special pen, heifer) started acting uncomfortable Sunday, so I've been on the every 4 to 6 hour checks to make sure that everything goes smoothly. However, this "uncomfortable-ness" was a good sign, as she wasn't actually due until April 22nd. Early babies tend to be heifers, and we were really hoping for a heifer. Tuesday morning, she didn't eat her grain (she ALWAYS eats her grain, and in fact, we kind of had her on a diet), so Brent stepped it up to hourly checks. At 4 pm, he helped our new baby girl into the world. Both mom & baby are doing great! It absolutely made my day. Even better, I got to feed the new heifer, and she sucked down her colostrum I gave her wonderfully with no problems. Welcome to the farm, Po-Cop Shottle Madison!
