I'm so excited...and frustrated too!!!

Molly is giving birth as I type this. My mom is there and keeping an eye on her but I'm at work : My boss is not here today so I can't leave which is driving me crazy!!!

My mom said she was cleaning the first one and trying to get it to nurse but it looked to her like there might still be at least one more in there. She's going to keep checking for me and if there is any trouble then work will just have to miss me for a while. Please pray everything goes smoothly and nobody needs my assistance. It normally takes me 30 minutes to get there from work...I might can do it in 20 but I don't want to need to.

I will definitely get pictures this afternoon!

My mom says still only one baby but Molly doesn't appear to be in any distress. Last time she checked, mom and baby were both laying down. Is it possible for her to look like there is still another one even if there isn't?

it's been a couple of hours - has she passed the placenta? If nothing else has come out, the other kid may be stuck. If the placenta is out, she's probably done.

Yes, they can still look big. Depends on the doe. I would bump her and go in and check the canal.

I took a long lunch to go check on her. I bumped her - she's empty and she did pass the placenta. Just the one buckling but he looks to be healthy!
