my imperfection for all to hear

I have spent the afternoon with a bunch of old gals huffing and puffing as they struggled to remember their breathing and push their newborns out into the world.

Its lambing time!

Me and my three offspring had a fabulous time at a local farm.  As usual our day was not without embarrassment.  Within minutes twin boy managed to identify the one ewe out of a hundred who had a traumatic birth resulting in an emergency c section. He proudly announced to the farmer that’s how his baby sister escaped from the womb and mummy has a similar scar.  If you look closely she is the lady ewe at the back and I would like it known that my scar is much smaller and i tend to keep it covered.

 After nine months of breastfeeding I had nothing but empathy for this poor sow.

 
We managed to watch the wonder of birth, which evoked a billion questions from twin boy and some rather embarrassingly large vomit sounds from twin girl as she watched the placenta fall out.

 ….and its twins!  wonder if the other ewes will ask the mum if they were ivf?

 But cute of cuteness was feeding the little lambs whose mums didn’t have enough milk.  And once more twin boy had the final word.

“Mummy you have lots of milk so bb doesn’t need a bottle; and you have more milk in one boobie because that one is bigger.”

As you can imagine we were surrounded by people.  My imperfections are now well known!

    Thank God my baby can’t speak yet…we also went to a farm today and I think I escaped some rather embarrassing moments by the sound of it! Although they do make ridiculously good blog material…damn, why isn’t my baby speaking yet?!

    I really think they should have their own blog – they obviously have so much to say….

    I too am feeling a sisterly empathy for that pig! A great post all round, Twin Girl’s face holding that lamb really made me chuckle.

    Haha – I always enjoy your posts, even if I don’t always comment. Growing up in NZ the farm visit is a really big part of my childhood, & a good way for kids to learn um, y’know, that stuff. And can be embarassing too obviously!

    “wonder if the other ewes will ask the mum if they were ivf?” – funny 🙂
