Hard work on this end, too.

Ceilidh's interlude allows me a chance to show you how the baby is already trying to breathe. In any normal llama birth, the umbilical cord is still attached and functioning at this point, but will be pinched off in the near future as delivery progresses. Even though it's got to be nearly impossible to breathe with all that mom squooshing baby's rib cage, the instinct is very strong.
