I'm so sorry about your loss

I'm in NYC for a few days, but I just got a report from home saying that lambs are on the way!

Just heard she had 2 boys. The babies are 1/8 Friesian, 1/8 Shetland, 1/8 Dorper, 5/8 Border Leicester.

Here are the boys born on Thursday. They were 9 lbs each.

I got home from NYC late last night. No new lambs, but there should be more coming very soon.

Wow, they look huge! Congrats, nice looking lambs.

More babies this morning!

Izzy had twin white girls at 6:30 am. Izz was looking close last night so I checked her at 5 am. She wasn't obviously in labor, but I suspected she was so I went back out at 6:30 just in time for the 2nd lamb to be born. They are 1/4 Romney, 3/4 Border Leicester and weighed in at 8.5 and 8 lbs.

Our theme this year for the Border Leicesters and crossbreds is going to be the periodic table. The boys from last week are Hydrogen and Helium and these new girls are Lithium and Beryllium.

Cute! Congrats on the lambs! Like the periodic table names, too; how creative!
