I was over at my grandma's house visiting, when Seth came tearing on his four wheeler to announce that I had a baby in the barn. I thought he was joking. Mom had checked Sabriyah this morning and she showed no signs of being ready to birth, but he assured me he was serious!
So I hopped on the back of the four wheeler and I must admit, I let out a few yelps as we rounded curves. Yes, I was in a hurry but I did want to get there in one piece. I calmly, okay, maybe not very calmly, informed Seth of that fact!
One baby was on the ground and just seconds after I got there, she started pushing again. It was a good thing I was there for the second baby, because he was not presenting correctly and it took effort on both her and my parts to get him out.
But we did and both little boys are doing well! Sabriyah is a super good first time mom! I was hoping for a girl, but these little guys are cute too.
I chose Sioux Native American names for them as I couldn't find any Arabic names I liked, so they don't match their mom, but that's ok!
The one on the right in the above picture is Chaska, which means firstborn (appropriately!) in Sioux and the one on the left is Chayton, which means falcon.
We were hoping she would deliver today because Dad so kindly insisted I stay home so I wouldn't further injure my finger. He knew I planned on being there when Sabriyah kidded, so it was nice she went today and I don't have to skip another day of work!
