Baby Lambs!


 The Wednesday and Thursday before Fred and Rose's wedding was already filled with excitement, but had even more excitement when Sprinkles and Crumbles each had twin lambs! 

Crumbles had her babies on Wednesday morning; I woke up to two little surprises! 
 Crumbles with  Buttercream and Sourdough. Born May  23, 2012


Sourdough came right up to me and let me pet him! 
I was sad that I didn't get to see Crumbles lambs be born, but the next morning I woke up and Sprinkles was in labor. So I got to see those twins be born! 
Meet Gingerbread; one of Sprinkles twins. 
 It was a good thing that I was watching Sprinkles give birth because the second baby started to come out butt first (they usually come out head first like humans) and Sprinkles was having trouble pushing the baby out. So my mom had to put some gloves on and tug on the baby's legs to pull her out. I learned later that if the lamb was stuck like that for more than 15 minutes, then the lamb would have died. It's a good thing we were there to help save Creme Brulee!

These are Sprinkles twins: Gingerbread and Creme Brulee born May 24, 2012.

Here I am holding Gingerbread and Creme Brulee. Sprinkles is in the foreground making sure her babies are OK

Now here I am with Crumbles babies. Crumbles was a little nervous about me holding her babies. Can you tell? 

This is my favorite picture of  Gingerbread. Isn't he adorable?
