Tinkerbell has been locked up behind the house for a couple of weeks now as she has laminitis. She was therefore present for the birth of the baby who will love, master and live with her into her dotage. She just lay by the back door all through labour and didn’t call out for Baby or make a fuss about her confinement like she normally does as soon as the sun is up. Instead she was quiet, present and contemplative until Benjamin was safely birthed into her world.

Waiting for Baby . . .
I was so sure that by now we’d have a baby to share with you. However, it was that little curly haired blonde girl who told me she was going to be a Virgo, 9 months ago. So since she is a boy, instead of a girl (presumably that means dark haired too), it is inevitable that he will be a Libra instead! Oh well, we need a bit of BALANCE in our lives . . .
Belly belly
It looks like the race is on between the two mad cows at Avalon . . . . Paddy is really ‘bagging up’ now and her udders are bigger than mine (close, but no cigar!). It’s a close thing who waddles more and who eats more . . . we both have our noses in the trough 24/7! Ged says now he knows how Daisy feels when paddy head butts her off her feed – I am scrapping for the biggest bowl and the leftovers now!! Maybe Paddy is waiting for me so Macca the midwife can deliver us both!
It’s a BOY!
Time is winging its way forward and the bump is growing daily. We had our final ultrasound and apparently IT’S A BOY!!
