Angel was last checked at 11:30 PM Thursday Night. She was up and moving around, but her milk was starting to drip. I knew she would be having that baby soon. I set my alarm for 3:25 AM. When I first got out of bed, I just peeked out the door to see if I could see Angel. No sense in getting dressed if I didn't have to, right? I couldn't see her, so I quickly ran to the bathroom, threw on Zach's pajama pants (I didn't want to turn on the light) and a hoodie and headed out side. By the time I reached the driveway (right next to the pasture), I saw her lie down and then I heard a break and gush! I sprinted back inside, mind you, with Zach's clogs on, as fast as I could. All Zach remembers is that I said, "She laid down and I heard a gush!" I was back ouside in about two seconds, just in time to see two little feet coming out! Angel did good until a shoulder got stuck a little. Zach gave a little tug and out she came within a couple more pushes! She was perfect! Right away I texted Heather. She was over in about 10 minutes! By that time our little philly was up and wobbling around! By the morning, meaning 9 AM, she is moving great! Her color is beautiful. She has taken a little from both mom and dad, as her dad is black and white and momma is palomino. We worked on imprinting her and letting her and mom get used to us. She is just perfect!
I love that picture of the three of you - that should be a on a poster or in Country Living magazine. We're happy the proud moment arrived and that you were there at the right time. Unbelieveable!
