It is permissible for the ' to be performed with the mother sheep, and her offspring can be sacrificed as a dependency to her, because the ruling on 'aqiqah is like the ruling on (sacrificial animal). The jurists have stipulated that it is desirable to slaughter the offspring of the udhiyah along with it, whether the mother was pregnant when designated or became pregnant afterwards, because the offspring becomes an udhiyah as a dependency to its mother.
