Yikes! It's really a cold cruel world!

Thanks to Gail Tweedy, photographer extraordinaire, we have moment by moment pictures of Tess's entire delivery.

Head First!

Demonstrating perfect alpaca birth form, Sarah enters the world feet first with her head not far behind.

Whoops!

This is where Patti got a bit concerned that the legs were crossing and getting stuck. Not to worry as you will see...

Sarah slides home safe!

Tess decided to sit this one out as Sarah continues to make progress.

Patti talks and delivers at the same time!

Patti is giving Paige the blow by blow via phone as she asists Tess (who looks like she wants to add a few choice words!)

Completely out!

Tess checks to make sure Sarah is okay.

A Wet Sarah

Just born, Patti (now off the phone), Jean and Gail all survey this little miracle. She is poised in the midst of towels to be used to dry her off.

Gail meets Sarah

Gail has been documenting this with the camera and she finally has the chance to actually meet her!

It's a chilly day to be born!

Patti warms Sarah with a hug and lots of dry towels. Sarah is shivering a bit and needs to be dryed quickly!

Afterbirth

Is that one word or two? I really don't know. But it's a little scary. Here Patti is weighing Sarah and Tess is worried and passing the placenta at the same time!

Keep Eating Mom - I'm Hungry!

All dry and sporting a "cria coat" on loan from Parker Roth, Sarah demonstrates classic nursing skills.

I'm here and I'm a dear!

She certainly is!
