Wool Is Wonderful

I might be sleeping in the barn tonight!

Fair Warning: The following may contain TMI for some.
That being said, Fricka's baby is coming!!
Yesterday she showed no signs of impending labor. This morning I noticed the distinct triangular hollow in front of her hips that indicates the lamb has dropped. She ate about half her normal amount of grain and has been nibbling at her sides. The last time I checked on her, about 15 minutes ago, her backside looked a tiny bit more swollen. She has a small amount of mucous leaking. She still appears comfortable even though I think I'm seeing contractions. She's on her feet and interacting with the other sheep.
I'm so excited!!!!
Back to the barn...

Elisabeth, I am like Sarah! I can't wait to hear more and see a baby picture. I hope that you don't have to sleep in the barn though. Guess all that wool would keep you warm! Good luck!
