Birth of Esther


DS2 was the midwife at the birth of Baby Esther, an Alpaca Cria, on Wednesday. He did a fantastic job and his boss was thankful that he was there when Esther was born. DS2 called me to come up and help and as a family we all went up and had a wonderful as Esther learned to stand up and nurse.

Today I was present at the 2 of 3 expected Cria births. It's another female, as yet un-named. But she's a light fawn color versus Esther's beautiful chocolate brown. Now my neighbor wants the hayer to come back again because he has been on her property for both births so far and she's starting to wonder if his presence was all that was needed to encourage these mom's to give birth.
