*illegibly smudged*
After quite a harrowing yet miraculous ordeal, our foal was born today! He's a healthy little colt, bursting with untapped potential. The moment our eyes met, I knew I couldn't let anything bad happen to him. I don't know if I love him or *illegibly smudged* more, haha! We haven't decided on a name yet, as *illegibly smudged* was hoping for a daughter, but I imagine Lucky will give me a sign soon. It always does. Until then, we have the perils of first-time parenthood to keep us fully occupied.

Horseapples, babies are exhausting. Adorable, but exhausting. My heart won't stop fluttering. Either of those has to be why. Yes, exhaustion or the baby. Not Lucky, who always seems to be getting closer and closer whenever I look away.

Lucky gave us a name: *illegibly smudged*. Well, it was more like the guardsmare Lucky kept harassing when we went out to buy more diapers, Tempest Shadow, gave us one. His eyes are indeed black, and both of us had to admit that the other schoolfoals would think it was totally cool once he was a few years older, like a comic book character. Sure, it's a bit much, and more than a bit ominous, but at least it's easy to remember. The important thing is still to raise him right, keep him fed, happy, and safe. Very, very safe.
