Birch had her babies on Sunday. Her udder had filled up and her ligaments had disappeared the night before. I checked on her a couple times during Saturday night and didn't get much sleep, but no babies. The next morning, she began to lose some fluids, so I expected babies shortly after. Still hours passed. I had to leave at 1:00 to see some friends, so was hoping that she would give birth before then. When it was around 12:30, I took her for a walk to the mailbox and back. Nothing much happened with that, so close to 10 minutes before we had to go, I began pretending that I was milking her. Immediatley, she began acting like she wanted to be able to lick her baby and 5 minutes later, she began pushing!! She pushed out her Coal, at 1:00 and Lightning at 1:10. They are both doing really well. Lightning wanted to nurse, but I have him on the bottle now.
Birch was doing really well, but today, she got a bad case of diarrhea. She was acting dejected this morning, but is beginning to perk up.
