Congrats on the pregnancy Josephine!!! What does the 3:19 mean/stand for?

Update: tonight the shed was comfortable. No heat lamps. Kids were warm and cozy feeling. I milked Rainy just a bit and then Ripple came over and wanted to nurse! And I guess he just wanted to show me he was doing just fine! He nursed longer than I’ve seen either one of them nurse. And then a...

@Mini Horses thank you! I milked her again a little bit ago, because she was looking engorged again…and I believe she appreciated it🥰 it was feeling a bit warm and looking red😬 I’m trying to just treat her like I did myself when I breastfed🤷🏼‍♀️ but I could make the baby nurse from the side I...

Milk it every 2-3hrs? Also I hate to toss it, is freezing it ok? How do I keep hair from getting in it🤦🏼‍♀️Shave her?🤔 I love her name! I have nicknamed ours butthead and monster…because they are🤣

@Baymule I never once felt criticized by your post🥰🥰 I was encouraged and educated🥰thank you for caring enough to post your experience🙏 @Mini Horses Thank you!! All of y’all are more help than you realize! I feel more confident taking care of my goats now than I did a month ago. And I owe...

@Youngfarmer2019 we are actually trying to stay with water related names! When we got Rainy we also got her sister and named her Dewdrop. But unfortunately she got bloat and died. Rainy got bloated too but not as bad and we were able to get her back to healthy. Idk why, I was told it could be...

So, here’s my game plan. I’m going to take one heat lamp away today while it’s 40’s and then see how they do in 20’s tonight. And take the other one tomorrow. I have plenty of hay. I go in daily and take out the top thin layer where the poo is and lay down a little bit more than I took up. I’ve...

@Alaskan ok🙏 They are doing all of that. Well the kids are. Mom isn’t overly active, but she’s eating and drinking and taking care of the kids. I will move heat around a bit and see what happens. Temps in shed are 78-82 in the warm spot and 62-75 in other areas.

I can’t post a video clip😫

@Ridgetop @Baymule @Mini Horses @Youngfarmer2019 Ok, I need help again. Rainy and her babies started breathing fast this afternoon. Kinda like they’re hot. I gave Rainy some electrolyte water this morning. Fresh water this evening. Temps are: Boy 102.6 Girl 103.4 Rainy 102.4 The girl had just...

I am positive they enjoy their life!!!

@Baymule your little lamb is already mischievous! You’re going to have your heart and hands full with that one🥰😁 Of course!! It’s crazy here 24/7, but I wouldn’t know what to do with a relaxed, peaceful existence. At baby number 4 we started saying we had organized chaos, 15 years and two more...

Oh.My.Gravy. No thank you. But I’m looking forward to seeing pics and hearing stories!!

@Baymule you really have had a day!! I LOVE the FARM-HER!!! I see that being put on a shirt soon😉 I honestly couldn’t have done it successfully without y’all. Y’all helped me keep my wits (🤣🤣🤣🤣) I’m looking forward to following your journey into registered sheep. You are wise and surrounded by...

Get some rest now🤣

@Mini Horses @Ridgetop @Youngfarmer2019 @Baymule Thank y’all!! Y’all are awesome!!!

I blocked the door but brought Rainy a small bucket of water and her food in there. Is that bad? Rainy can get out if she climbs over the hay bale, but I don’t think the kids can (not tonight anyway) I’m just so worried they’re going to get out into the cold. The kids are very curious and want...

I think that’s light reflecting?

@Ridgetop which pic? I don’t remember seeing orange mucus…it was clear opaque…as far as I can remember…even though it took forever! It happened so fast!!! I do have a red heat lamp in there? Buck was born first, I used iodine after they nursed…I’m going back through my pics. My girls were...

Afterbirth done… took a little while but it came… Girl isn’t having hard time nursing but boy is…I try to help but he only suckles a little then quits… They both look strong, walking, talking…but the girl does seem to be getting around a little better than the boy. Rainy is doing great 🙏🥰
