The stork arrived last night! Yesterday we noticed Roxy was waxing. (dripping milk and stuff) We kept checking her frequently. I went out at about 10, and she was just fine. Brian went out about 10:45 ish, and she was swishing her tail a lot, and pacing around, but still acting farely normal. We finished our movie and I went out at 11:30 hoping to see a baby being born. Well, I was too late. He had already arrived and was laying there. I ran and got Brian and he got up and we were able to see his first few steps. He wobbled over to the tire we put Roxy's hay in and promptly tripped and fell right in. We were very happy to be there when that happened because he would not have gotten out by himself. We moved the tire. He kept going over to the wall by his dad who was very curious about this new little boy walking around. Roxy was not going to let him get near her baby.Anyway, we finally got them situated to relax and bond and they seem very happy this morning. We are thinking he is more cremello than palomino simply because of his blue eyes (like his daddy) and pink skin. He does have a white star on his forehead.
Here he is!
This one was take within about 15 minutes of him being born. He was still really wet and just trying to stand up
