Congrats!

Congrats on the baby! Now you can breathe a sigh of relief!

Just a suggestion, but if it's just "cool" I'd turn that heat lamp off. She will be better off without it.

Cute little goatlet!

I think “Hope” is a good fit, I don’t know that you think about though

Congratulations. I am so happy for you! After all you’ve been through, you deserved this!

Flits here and there with the rain, it was hanging right near freezing. No snow in the current forecast though.

I almost never use a heat lamp unless I have a sick baby. Ok, maybe if it was below freezing then I'd probably use one for a newborn for the first night until I was pretty sure they could maintain their body heat. They do pretty well in the cold weather if they are dry, draft free and have some good bedding. I think your little gal will be just fine!

We get that damp cold too. Just check on her...if she's shivering and hunkered up ...the lamp would be warranted - but likely she's not going to with an outside temp around 50ish and a full tummy.

Plus, they like to snuggle with mom...more heat. I am so very, very, very happy that this kidding went well!! Yes, she looks a lot like mom and that ain't at all bad.

First kiddings can be quite anxious but what you had was a sad, unnecessary disaster. Now, a new life begins -- enjoy!!
