New Lamb has a name

Chelsey Harris came over yesterday afternoon and we had the official lamb naming ceremony. Her name is Cupcake . The name is in the heritage of her ancestors. Her great grandmother was named Strawberry. Her grandmother was Shortcake......Strawberry Shortcake....get it. Her mom was from a set of triplets. The mom is Sugar then there was Cream and Oreo. It is the perfect name. I think she looks like a little Cupcake.

Kane was very curious about the new lamb. I let Sugar out to eat some grass and they had their first meeting. He would not leave the fence and even guarded the lamb from the other sheep who were also very curious. He is serious about his job.

Jane saved the day ...and the lamb

Sugar went into real labor early this morning. Jane called and decided to come and help. She arrived around 8:30 am. Her water broke around 8:15. Jane had to help pull the lamb and we thought it was not alive but it was. There were two others that did not make it but they were not formed properly so it was a blessing.

The lamb does not have a name yet because Chelsey Harris gets to name her.

Creation is an awesome thing...Jane and I talked about our Creator God after the birth. When you see the miracle of birth it is hard to understand how someone could not believe in God and the Truth.

Mother and lamb are doing great!!

Thank you Jane.

Update from Jane

I went up to the house and came back down. No lamb. I called Jane (she know everything) and explained what was happening she said she is fine. To call back in 1 hour and give her an update. Jane thinks she passed the plug. The next thing is for her water to break then she will go into labor then a lamb.

Play by Play

I'm going up to the house and eat a little something. If she has not had them when I get back I'm calling Jane....my sheep sheerer. She know everything about sheep.

Still waiting.......

Well I am still waiting. Getting a little nervous. She is pawing but still does not seem to be in great pain. Will wait a little longer. We have about 10 teenagers coming to our house for the Disciple Now Weekend. I hope she has them before they arrive.

Waiting on lambs

I am waiting and watching for Sugar to have her first lambs. She is in labor and I pray she is ok. I figured this would make the time pass faster. I've been watching but it just makes me worried.

Can you believe this is my first post. What a way to start. I'm going down to check on her.
