The first wave of babies have arrived and now that are 3 weeks old, we have begun milking a few mamas in the morning. And the morning routine begins again! We only partially milk the mothers so that they have plenty of breakfast for the kids when they get reunited but it gives everyone some practice for when the kids begin leaving at 8 weeks. I used to think I wanted a life of fresh experiences each day. Now I see there is beauty in thoughtful routine. Opportunities to see things in a new way even when the routine stays the same. We have been helping Rhubarb, who had 5 kids out by giving two of her kids, Plum & Bramble a bottle. It takes the pressure off her and is fun for us! Still 9 more mamas left to kid. The next due date is in 5 days.
