Yoko did need a little help. The girl was coming first, except she was sideways. I managed to get her in a better position, and out she came! She weighed 2lbs 6oz. She was shortly followed by the little buckling. He came without problems, and weighed 2lbs 12oz.
I am pleased to say that Yoko is an excellent new mother and the kids are healthy and active! Yoko wasted no time when it came to tending them as soon as they hit the ground. I took care of most of the birth stuff with towels and suctioned their noses and mouths, and she cleaned up the rest. In no time, they were trying to get their land legs and attempting to nurse!
This post will have more pictures than usual, but they are saturated with adorable!
Some of the pictures taken the night of the birth!
Yoko early on in labor. She needed some love and sat next to me for some head scratches.
Starting to push!
The little girl just after being born!
The little boy!
He was all tuckered out after being born!
The little girl, now slightly drier!
A day later after Mom and kids rested up, I had to bother them for more pictures! Snuggling kids is of course mandatory, too!
A little snack!
Cuddling :D
Family cuddle!
Today, March 14th, I took Mom and the kids outside. Yoko visited SuzQ and Bailey with her new kids!
She hardly noticed the snow!
He is a spitting image of his father, with his blue eyes and chamois pattern!
Adorable kids, pretty snow, perfect picture!
He was looking very regal!
She looks so much like a little donkey!
Ear lick from Mama Yoko!
The introduction to the herd!
Alright, I have to admit, they are simply way too cute!!!
