Prepared for Kidding

As you can see by the size of Jill, we're getting close to her due date of February 14. 

We're ready . . . .

The nursery has been spruced up.  {We went with a rustic theme rather than pink or blue or primary colors :-}

And the bag is packed . . .

. . . that is the Kidding Kit is packed with essentials and "just in case"(s):

• Iodine-for dipping newborn navels
• Shot glass-to hold iodine during navel dipping
• Scissors dipped in alcohol-for trimming the umbilical cord if it breaks too long
• Cotton string-to tie off end of umbilical cord if needed
• Infant bulb syringe-to siphon mucus from kids' nostrils or throats
• Lubricant-just in case she needs help
• Lots of towels
• Molasses (at the house)-in warm water for after birth treat for Mom
• Powdered colostrum-just in case!

And of course the camera so we can supply you with a look at the wonder of birth on the farm.
