Kids!!!

A quicky post for you today to announce the safe (though early) arrival of our kids!

Jorgie was screaming out to me before lunchtime today, so I went out to take her for a grazing walk only to find her laying in her stall with a baby partly born! Not what I was expecting yet!

I stayed with her and helped a little as she delivered, not one, but THREE kids!  Sadly, the third one was too little and never lived, but he was a tan colour and the children named him Nugget. The first two, though tiny, are doing well. Storm (named for the weather and his colour) is a little jet black boy, and Matilda 'Tilly' is a white doe with a few black flecks. They've both walked and fed and are doing well. And Jorgie is doing well too - though I think she is in shock!

So pleased it all happened on a day when I was home, and doubly pleased that it is school holidays and that the boys were able to see the birth too. Awesome!

More photos to come, but here are a few quick iPod shots....



Look how tiny they are compared to my hands!

Being born is very tiring work....

Jorgie is already a good mum to her wobbly little pair.
