Yew  today was our 'firstborn', arrived this morning at about 2am, I was up again at 4am and just missed it, last visit was midnight.  Mother and baby doing well .  Lovely strong ewe lamb. 
Her name is Yew not only because she is a ewe, but I am choosing 'foresty' names as were are in the New Forest also her father is Hickory and his mother was Hazel, so we are following tradition.
2 more due this week.

Day 3 and Yew is galloping around the paddock and doing that bouncing forward with all four feet touching the floor together, her mum just cant keep up with her now.

The girls are getting pretty fed up with their lumps, I think they wish it was all over.
We have been busy getting the maternity suite ready, we have 2 mothering pens for the first 24 hours.
The chicken mesh screens on the door and the divider in the shed are ready so that we can shut them in at night in case Mr. Fox comes snooping around, though I have not seen one for years.
