North Carolina

First predator in two years hit today. The smaller of the two lav roos I got at the TSC swap (Henry) got nabbed. Whatever it was (and I'm leaning toward hawk) had to fight for him. There's a trail of feathers in swirls and circles in the pasture, and then it ends. No carcass. He was carried off, not dragged, or there would have been more feathers leading toward the fence. So I have to build more hides to put out. Haven't needed them in a long time, and we pulled them in since the sheep knock them over trying to use them for scratching posts.

When I went to look for Henry, and found the feathers, the other lav roo (George) left what he was doing to come out and watch me walk through it all. I'm sure he saw Henry get nabbed. Poor fella. :(

So long, Henry. I'm sorry.
 
She is beautiful Ruthann matches her name perfectly.

Awe...the particulars huh?!? We named her Emmeline Faith, she is 7lbs 13oz, 20 3/4" long and has a head of medium brown hair (not full). The 2 of us are doing well...we were sent home a day early (WOOT) against our Nurse's wishes. LOL. Enjoy!! :) I'm off to nap & feed!! LOL

Sorry you lost your roo.
 
Thank you so so much everyone for the well wishes!! I am hoping to go home from the hospital today (yes...I am posting from my room. LOL); however, I do have to say that I have a rather reluctant nurse. She was NOT happy that I didn't want to stay the full 2 days when I have no pain, no "issues" and have had an amazing delivery/recovery. DH thinks she is just mad because she has to work...LOL. I won't say anything further about the nurse, for I know personally I could NOT do their job.
A special thank you to Beth for updating everyone!! DH and I were planning to try the castor oil Thursday, but I went into labor Wednesday night and delivered a healthy baby girl at 0833 on Thursday morning!!
