Big Momma's a Momma!

So yesterday morning, right after Lisa and Shawn left, we went out to check on Big Momma (the pig), who has finally been showing some serious signs of being pregnant, and she was being all distressed. We watched her for a minute, then we all went back inside. We were just kinda being lazy, then right as Momma and I started thinking about tackling the kitchen, Daddy opens the door with a piglet in his hand and yells for hot water. Well five hours later she was done, six pretty piglets (she actually had 11, but two came out butt-first and died in the birth canal and a few others just didn't ever quite get the breathing thing figured out). Four gilts and two boars, all of them rambunctious and pretty. I'll get some pictures on here in the next couple days. That was a nice happy birthday for Mike, don't you think?
