Aside from the fact that she was enormous and her udders were firmer, Peach gave no sign that she would quit being pregnant anytime soon. This waiting made Briana increasingly nervous. She carried the baby monitor everywhere, checking in on Peach as she did the dishes, folded laundry, or taught the daily homeschool lessons. A week had passed since the birth of Liberty and Independence, and Peach was still happily pregnant.
Watching Peach Wait
Over the weekend, Briana reached out to a friend with years of experience in lambing. After examining Peach through photos we sent along, our friend told us not to worry. Peach would lamb when she was ready. This didn’t ease our impatience, but it was comforting to know that Peach was exactly where she was supposed to be.“They should change the phrase to ‘a watched sheep never pops,’” Briana said grumpily one morning before she had had her coffee.
