Kidding Photos

Enya's kidding on 3/28, 2001

This was a typical birth.

Please note that Enya green butt is due to her being tattooed the day before she kidded.

Here's the bubble.
Now it's time to look and try to see,
what we hope will be feet
(they will be white).

Here the foot has been sucked back in
and the bubble has burst.

A first time mother-to-be
thinking, "What the heck is going on?"

Pushing again.
No mistaking the foot this time.

What are we seeing now?

Yippee, a correctly possitioned kid.
There is also another foot you cannot see in this photo.

At this point I quit taking pictures
so that I could assist this first time mother
by helping to pull the baby.

Enya had no idea what just happened to her and had to be encouraged to clean her new baby.
She was a very nervous first time mother and was reluctant to nurse her baby. We worked with her patiently and she eventually understood what was going on. She now is an extremely devoted mother.
