thunder and lightening

Saturday night and time for bed.
Tim was very good - he didn't wake me up until 4.30am when her first kitten was being born.
Tim had been keeping Esmeralda company through the thunder and lightening since 2.30am when she woke him up. She wasn't due until the 10th, but it looked like they were coming early.
Tim went out for some boxes and made up a birthing box for Esmeralda at about 3am in plenty of time for her first kitten to be born.
1st born - Breach birth - gorgeous snow lynx male Bengal baby - 10 mins later out came the placenta.
2nd born - breach birth - gorgeous snow mink female Bengal baby followed by her placenta.
3rd born - breach birth - wonderful snow lynx female Bengal baby followed closely by her placenta - all skin and bone but determined to survive.
4th born - breach birth - gorgeous snow mink male Bengal baby - 5 mins later came his placenta.
5th born - breach birth - wonderful snow mink male baby along with his placenta - all skin and bone but determined to survive.
All 5 breach birth, all 4 days early, but all doing well.
He just managed to come out in time for us to quickly finish getting ready to go to Joseph's christening.
Fran arrives at the cattery - she is looking after everything for us until we get back.
Then we are on our way by 9am.
