Irenie finally had her babies late this morning. There were 8 born, but only 7 survived. There was nothing wrong with the one that didn't make it, but he was born in a flurry of 4 births and neither Irenie or I saw him until it was too late to revive him. I had to tear the sack open for 3 of the kittens, but other than that Irenie did the job all by herself.
She's exhausted. I'm pretty tired myself. I think we're both going to have a nice long nap this afternoon!
Here's a link to a video of the newborns and their mama: http://www.noofies-zoo.com/ireniesbabies/irenieandfamily.avi
