The Newest Heffer

You may have noticed that Clarence has been conspicuously absent from this blog of late.

On Friday, she did the toughest workout of all. She had a baby.
Welcome to the world Gennie*...isn't she beautiful?
Maybe Clarence will post a comment about the birth, but in listening to her birth story, I'd say the highlights were:

  • Tracking the length of time of and in between contractions using an iPhone Ap designed expressly for that purpose (yes, there is an Ap for that)
  • Puking in a planter in the hospital as she waited to be admitted. (yes, she was admitted shortly thereafter).
  • Being absolutely stellar and giving birth to a 9 lb, 1 oz beautiful baby girl (no C-Section...she pushed her out. I for one am beyond impressed at that effort!)
So, welcome to the world Gennie*...our newest hefferette!
Auntie Alice doesn't hold too many babies...but I rather enjoyed this...can you tell?

    I can't believe how beautiful she is! Auntie Effin is also a happy aunt! Clarence is now a Momma - what a blessed event. P.S. - Momma already gave her a Heffer name, "Gennie".

    My calves and your calf don't even have Heffer names yet. But Gennie is perfect in more than one way!

  3. Awwww... A new calf! Teehee. Send Mama my congratulations. ;)

    I know she's kinda big for newborn standards, but she looks so sweet and tiny. They grow WAY too fast.
