Beautiful Baldwin News and Updates
June 7th, 2012
What a wonderful journey it has been here at Beautiful Baldwins since the last update! Two out of our three mommas expecting have delivered, and I have no words to describe, how dearly and how often I find myself lost in awe and loving thought looking at our Baldwin familyJ right now there are more Baldwins here than have ever been, and while most of the babies are gearing up to move to their new forever homes, it has just been a new and blessed surprise each day with this big big family!
Our sweet Zara was our first mother to deliver, and on May 12th, 2012 we welcomed baby Miracle into the world around 1:30 am. Despite loving input and oversight from fellow Guinea Pig lovers, and an outstanding vet, Zara birthed three babies still. It was the hardest night we have had here at Beautiful Baldwins, but with all the thanks one could have, our wonderful Zara is 100% ok, healthy, and has been a brilliant mother! We could not be more thankful, but with a heavy heart, and all the love for Zara, have decided to have her join her lovely mother Annabelle in retirementJ Zara’s baby Miracle will stay here with us at Beautiful Baldwins, and is already well larger than the average bear!
Lovely little Mini delivered her litter five days after Zara, on May 17th, 2012. It was a miraculous night to say the least! Mini’s birth could not have gone any any better!!! She made not one noise, had not one complication, gosh, barely looked like she even had contractions! And blessed us with four perfect, beautiful Baldwins; three baby girls and one baby boy: Anastasia, Athena, Jasmine, and Leonardo! Mini has always been the firecracker of our Baldwin family, but it has still been quite a shocker how well this first time momma has jumped into the swing of things, and is rocking motherhood! While Zara has seemed to fuss keeping up with giant Miracle, Mini is still way ahead of her babies on any given day-keeping them on their toes, and making sure they know when momma needs her rest!
Yes yes yes the girls are doing a fabulous job with motherhood, however, I have to give Annabelle, who we have nicknamed Grannabelle, an immense amount of credit!! Anni is amply experienced with childbirth and motherhood, and from the moment her girls have gone into labor, Anni has been side by side helping every step of the way! Annabelle cleaned the girls and their babies after birth, when everyone was exhausted, plays with the babies, guards the big house when a momma needs rest from babies, and even allows the babies to use her as a living binki!!! It has become far more than apparent that Annabelle is a natural mother:) she has had so much more energy lately, and a remarkable glow to her eyes:) if she did not have a history as a breeder, we would let her have another litter of her own; but for now it seems she is overly excited about being the Grandma of the Beautiful Baldwin family. She has been a catalyst for making this experience amazing:) every step of the way, big Anni has been there with an even bigger loving heart to fill in the cracks and keep everything and everyone happy, healthy, and wonderful!!
Precious Angel is our last mother expecting until our next round of breeding, which will not take place until January at the earliest; and both she, and the Beautiful Baldwin babies are working hard to grow big! Angel is due with in the next month, and we could not be more excited to welcome her sweet darlings into the world. Angel took a bit more time with Davy than we had expected, the two earnestly loved living together, but we are overjoyed; Angel has many of Annabelle’s features, and besides Annabelle, is our sweetest, and hands down most sensitive pig, we are so excited to meet her babies!!

Holy wow I could not feel more blessed in life right now:)! Tuesday my fiance and I celebrated our 10th year together, and I received the most gorgeous ring, I honestly cried when he gave it to me:) and the girls, ooooh my girls; they are growing and thriving like happy little balloons:) Zara was the first to visit Davy, then Mini, then Angel; so obviously, Zara is farther along and showing much more than Mini and Angel.
It has been an extremely exciting and heartwarming experience to go through with the Baldwins; the girls were born here, and hand raised by myself and my fiance, and now we are beginning to see the NEXT generation of beautiful blessed Baldwins kicking in our baby girls's bellies:) Pampering our princesses is an understatement at the moment; it has already brought me to tears(as it did with my sweet sweet Annabelle) to know our little darlings will have to suffer during delivery to birth this next generation, but we are geared up with vets in line, and time off lined up for their big days ahead:) Our girls are rockstars:) I know this and have faith their births will be flawless; especially with Annabelle present, she is unfortunately well over qualified in this department.
So far things are rocking and rolling sweetly:) we have everything lined up for our girls, and they are happy, bubbly and in good health and spirit:) I honestly feel blessed knowing some of the homes the babies will be going to:) Some of Beautiful Baldwins will be traveling as far as to Canada to reach the most wonderful homes. Ronnie and I are excited to see how many darlings bless the world from each expecting momma:) we sometimes just have to stop in honest admiration of our blessed and beyond special Baldwin family:) We started out with just Annabelle, and now are getting ready to welcome her grandchildren:) I will keep updates coming as the momma bears bumble along:)!! If you would like to join the waiting list, please contact me; we are trying to place babies early so you can get them asap and begin bonding:)
