ADIA ON BABY WATCH

Adia arrived on Saturday, April 25th, energetic, alert and ready to assist with delivery. After all she already has experience from two of her sibling's births. So "baby watch" began. Patches had all the signs that her due date had arrived. Adia checked for her milk...
Took her temperature...

Gave Patches back massages

Readied herself for a " babywatch" sleepover


After the second night and no baby Adia was "pooped!"Unfortunately, grandma had to take Adia home Wednesday night for schooling and a Volleyball tournament on Saturday. We begged Patches to wait til we returned on Sunday. Patches did wait til Sunday but not quite late enough. She gave birth on May 3, 2009, at 2:30 a.m. to a 24inch "little filly" we named Samantha after her father, Samson (29"). It wasn't til Monday papa realized that Samanatha was really a "colt" , and gave him a new name, Samson, Jr.
Day two, and it looks like Samson is going to keep mom on her toes.

Sally, will be delivering our next baby, due July 7, 2009

THANK YOU so much for taking Adia to be a part of all that. As much as I'm not into the horses I sure love my girl and hearing how happy she is out there. I hope Sally cooperates better with our schedule.

Great pix...I'm sorry Adia missed Samson's arrival...it is such an exciting thing to witness - maybe Sally will be more accommodating!?
