Call the (sheep) Midwife- update

Farmer J is home today.  Thank goodness!  I'm off duty- and that feels awesome.  J is a much better mid-husband than me!

Last night, after a 12 + hour work day, Farmer J came home and checked on Aoife.  He cleaned up her backside, got the "birthing bucket" ready and observed his expecting mother.  Aoife had diarrhea...so he had to clean that up as well!  There is nothing glamorous about being a farmer, that is for sure.

This morning... still no babies.  But more diarrhea, and more cleaning up.  Did I mention I'm super excited that J is home today?!!!

Aoife's breathing is still labored and she is making an unusual noise, the same as yesterday.

I really hope the baby lambs are not born in this bitter, cold weather-- but we'll see.

I'll keep the updates coming!

Here is a picture of Aoife with her babies (FROM LAST YEAR)- Una and Little Boy
