Cria update

The baby has a heart murmur. We thought something was up, because she spends an awful lot of time just laying around in the pasture. I guess this isn't uncommon with crias that are early. The good news is that she is gaining weight and growing. I've also heard that the murmur is more pronounced as it's starting to close. The vet didn't notice it during the first vet check, and now my husband can feel it. Maybe that's a good sign. Until she's up and running around, I'm going to worry about her.

We named her Willow Nelson, by the way. Let's hope I get to see that name printed on an ARI certificate someday.
