The Spinning Guy

In this blog, I'm going to talk about alpacas, fiber, spinning, and I'm going to generally try very hard to keep my readers posted about what's on my skirting board, what's on my spinning wheel, and what I'm knitting or crocheting.

Still No Baby

We're one day past Chloe's due date and already I'm a nervous wreck. Are we sure she's really pregnant, not just fat? I have to keep telling myself alpaca gestation is 345 days plus or minus 30. Chloe is on day 346 which is only one day into the plus side. There is plenty of no cause for alarm!

Or as Pam says, "Babies arrive when they get here."

When I think about it rationally, Tess just went 379 days before delivering. Sancha is on day 360. Why am I freaking out over Chloe on day 346?

It's a good thing I have no human kids.

On second thought, maybe I'd handle this better if I did have human babies.

345 plus or minus 30.

It is much easier waiting for human babies than alpaca crias! I did great with the grandchildren - with the crias? Forget it. I am stuck in the kitchen watching out the window or looking at the barn cam constantly.

Good things come to those that wait! (types Sue just before running for cover!)
