🐐 Stella Steps In
Last week, while my nieces were in town for spring break, Haley decided it was her turn… and of course, she went into labor when I wasn’t home again. 😅
But this time, I had a secret weapon—my nine-year-old niece, Stella.
With me on FaceTime, Stella stepped right in and helped those babies into the world. She helped them stand and get their very first sips of colostrum like a total pro. I was watching everything on the cameras and was only about 20 minutes behind the delivery, but honestly… she had it handled.
I wish I could’ve been there in person, but getting to watch her experience that moment was just as special.
And from that point on, those babies were basically hers.
Stella spent the rest of her trip—three full days—in the stall with them. She named them, loved on them, bottle fed them, and made it very clear that she thinks they should stay forever.
They are both little boys and absolutely the cutest, most handsome little guys… and I already know they’re going to be hard to let go of.
But for now, we’re just enjoying them while they’re here—and watching Stella fall completely in love with farm life.
And honestly… I think that might be the best part of all. 💛
