The start of labor.  Laying down, getting up, laying down, getting up, over and over again.  Finally NanC lays down and starts to push.  Some girls lay down to have their babies and others squat.

Mucous, mucous, and more mucous!

Copious amounts of mucous and the water sack begins

to protrude.

A little hoof begins to appear during contractions.

Another view of the first hoof and a shot of a hoof and nose.

Patti needs a little help.  It's her first time and the baby is big.

Always pull down and out, AND, only pull during the contraction while she is pushing.

 Here comes the head, and if you look closely, you can see

Zeke's ear hanging down in the water bubble.

Patti needs a little more help.  Hoofs are out and the head is half way out.

 Half out!

You're getting there Patti, don't stop now!

Cleaning out the mouth and around the nose with a towel.  Baby will take his first breath shortly.

Cleaning up the rest of the little one.

Pulling the baby closer to mom for her to clean up.

Mom begins her work.  Licking and cleaning.  Obviously she's going to be a super mom!

A hairdryer helps get the kids warm and dry quickly in cold weather. 2nd photo shows detaching the umbilical cord.

Meet brand new Portia!  She warms up under the heat lamp while mom cleans up Sophia, her twin.

Brand new twins Bold-R and Flin-T.  Already looking for mom's teats.

Brand new Button.  How could you not fall in love with this face!
