Jealous...

Papa Bear's Bride · September 2010

...of a cow? Seriously? YEP! That's right. There are 30 cows on this farm and 4 of them have already had their babies. Late Dec. we "rented" a bull. And now his fruits are falling from the trees. Yesterday, on a particularly tiresome day, fighting the anxious feeling of wishing my son were already born, I looked outside his bedroom window and saw cow #26 laying down, breathing slooowly, then stop and tense all her muscles before breathing slooowly again. I walked outside to welcome her baby into this world with tears in my eyes. For the rest of the day, until around dinner time, all the other cows left them alone, allowing mommy and baby some bonding time before they came up, one by one, and introduced themselves to the new baby. I am so jealous!
