Parenting Skills 101



I guess if the childbirth classes didn't sink in, we can always learn from our animals around us! Here's a photo of one of our pigs, Peggy Sue, and her 7 little piglets. The key word for breastfeeding is....surrender. And here's another photo of Noah practicing holding a newborn - this is our last foal born on the farm, Pise.

Love, Erica and Noah

An apt analogy...my human 'piglet' snorts and snuffles and wiggles at the breast much like I suspect these little fellas do. Much respect to Mum for feeding seven all at once. Beaucoup de joie, beaucoup d'horreur!

Howdy from Marcelle. This blog is a beautiful idea - almost like being there with you guys. How exciting and this baby will grow up in the most ideal environment and with lots of family around.Don't worry about due dates - though I know you're nice and ready. I didn't have a due date, the doc said Zoe would come when she was ready!! I look forward to hearing the name that has been chosen. Zoe was not going to be a Zoe - we had chosen Hanna if it was to be a girl, but alas Hanna did not suit so she was nameless for a while. Names are so interesting. I'll keep my eye on the blog and look forward to seeing the final outcome!!!!
