You may both pity and envy me. I hope for no bottle babies, no assisted births and no deaths. Yeah, like that'll happen. Bottle babies are hardly worth the trouble but I know there will be a couple. Strange and unusual things happen in birth canals, especially when twins or trips are racing to get out, and lambs have an amazing knack for coming up with unbelievable ways to die.

I like to believe I'm ready for anything, but there are always surprises. I guess it builds character or something like that. Yes, rationalize away, that's it.

I will say this, though: it means spring is just around the corner!
