Maddie's Babies are Here!!!

It has been super busy here and I'm sure you all know by now that Maddie had here babies but I want to write about it because I was just so happy about being there when it happened.

 

You see I missed both Whimsey & Priscilla's births.  They decided they didn't need me and had their babies on their own.  Thankfully I found them both just after delivery and was able to help clean up the babies.

 

Maddie started her labor on Saturday morning, February 2nd at 10:15am.  She had a large amount of discharge so we went ahead and moved her into the birthing pen.  For the next hour or so she paced around, dug into the shavings and coming over to me for reassuring rubs and pats that everything was going to be alright since this was her first delivery.

 

Around 11:30am she started pushing.  She was doing really well.  Her first baby presented perfectly, its two front legs first and then head.  Maddie did a great job delivering it and then paying attention to the baby to get it cleaned off.  While cleaning off the first baby she ended up delivering her second baby a few minutes later with no issues too.

 

Maddie did a wonderful job and knew right away what she needed to do to clean her babies off.  She was so sweet talking to them and nudging them so she could clean them really good.

 

Now the exciting part comes in, checking the babies.  We have 2 beautiful GIRLS!!!

 

I was so excited to have 2 baby girls since at this time we already had 3 boys & 2 girls from the other mamas.

The babies were doing great and figured how to stand up pretty quick and nurse too.

Maddie is a wonderful mother and takes very good care of her baby girls.  We have decided to name them Lana & Luna.  Lana is the white & brown one and her name means light and Luna is the brown one with the spots, her name means moon.

 

We already have found a home for these two precious girls and I am so excited to say that they are going together!!! It makes me so happy that they are going to be able to stay together because they have such a strong bond already.

I can't wait to see these girls grow, hopefully their new owner will stay in touch and I will get to see them grow into beautiful mature does like I know they will be.
