An Amazing Experience




We had our calendar marked and knew our Mama Pig was due any day now. Gabi and I have been checking on her several times a day and when we went out yesterday afternoon for the 2nd time she had 4 little piglets! Gabi was so excited we had to run in and call Dad, Grandma, and Aunt Sally. We then grabbed the camera and headed back out to check on them and Mama Pig was grunting! Next thing we know she had another piglet and Gabi had the amazing experience of witnessing its birth! She ended up having seven pigs total but unfortunately two were stillborn. I was amazed how active they were right after birth. Gabi couldn't wait to hold one. They were so soft, warm, and cuddly! Gabi was a little surprised by the birth and commented that she didn't know you could stretch that much during birth. She has proclaimed that she is never having kids! Too funny!
