Lacey and Baby Dora Update 3 pm

About 4:15 am…

Welcome to the world little one! We’ve been patiently awaiting your arrival!

Lacey welcomed her baby and let her know everything was ok.

Dora is beautiful – she looks like her momma – even with some white lacey spots throughout her body. Some places are small and can’t be seen in the pictures but they are there.

She tried to get up a few times but it took a few attempts. “Mommy – are my back legs supposed to be like this?”

She tried and tried. Those little back legs just were not ready for much – they’d been cooped up for quite awhile and it took some time to get them going.

She ended up laying on her mom’s hay. Lacey didn’t care – she simply adores Dora. We truly needed this miracle and bit of joy in our life.

Trying hard to get up – it took some times for her back legs to help the front ones. And she hopped like a bunny rabbit for awhile.

“Ok mommy – I know I can do this! I know I can – I know I can – I know I can! See mommy – are you and mommy Theresa proud of me? That took a lot of work and thinking!”

And of course – both mommies are very proud of her!

She rested for a bit while the sun came up. She’d tried, multiple times, to nurse but just couldn’t get it right.

But we made sure she got all of her colostrum. She didn’t have any problem with a bottle – she was very hungry!

We’re wondering if there’s another baby in there – Lacey still looks huge! LOL!

I hope to update more tonight. Dr. Ryan will be here soon to pull an IGG test and examine mom and baby. Have a great evening everyone!
