TODAY IS THE DAY FOR BAMBI!!!!!!!
I told hubby at 3am she definitely dropped and today is it. He disagreed that I could tell just looking at the monitor... bwhahha i was right Ligs are gone, she is loooooow and looking good to go! Double checked my records and today is her actual 150! How cool is that?! Not good if she gives me a big 'ol fake out like she did last year and her daughter! Stinkers.

But i feel it, today is the day. She is a night kidder, but idk if she'll make it. Of course its super cool and wind is blowing upwards of 50mph and were on warnings..... lol always works that way with the crappiest weather, doesnt it?!

Watching her on the monitor right now...up and down, making her little 'nest' and looking Very uncomfortable! !!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Okay okay breath breath. I also would like to request 1 buck and 2 doelings

Hi everyone! So sorry for the delay!!! It has been absolute madness around here....okay long story short, Shadow and Bambi both started early labor Saturday, then was serious through night and into Sunday morning. By 9am Bambi was pushing hard and seemed to not be ready. By 11 i was concerned and could tell she was distressed. My friend rushed over, gave Bambi a feel, we gave her another hour and pushing session, and had to take action! Thank the Lord for my friend!!! The little kid was only one foot forward with neck to side and left foot back! Ahhhh! She WAS able to free him after begging poor exhausted Bambi to push one last time, she was able to pull a very big buckling out! Approximately 2 minute later a girl slid right out!!!! I sat with her for 13hrs and was exhausted too!!!

Meanwhile, Shadow AND Marilyn were showing signs of early labor. But we all collectively decided they would be Monday (even though Marilyn due date was Thanksgiving day) My husband fed at 5am, nothing. I had monitor on as well. Got to barn at 7am to 2 more babies!!!! Marilyn also had a buckling and doeling! She had them just before i had come down as they were both wet. Had to be when i was getting ready and not watching monitor! Oy!

Shadow was in active labor when i walked in. With all the commotion she relaxed. Left her alone, came back to active labor at 9.30. Same exact scenario as her mother. By 1130 i was concerned and called my friend. 2 more hours later she went back into hard hard labor and all i see is 1 foot! It went back in, then i see a foot and an upside down head! Ahhhh! As i try to remain calm to get to her to assist and plead with her to push, Shadow bared down and pushed that big upside-down buckling on her own! Wow! As im frantically seeing if hes alive and clearing his passages ways, a little doeling slides out!!!!

Everyone is healthy and doing well, after living in the barn for 3days, i went to bed at 6pm last night a VERY happy mama! And i FINALLY got some girls!!!!! YAAAAAY!

Thank you everyone for checking in, and to my amazing friend for saving Bambi and her kids.

I'll post better pics later, but here is what i have now....
Bambi twins. Doeling has teeny white and all Chocolate
Marilyn twins. Doeling in bucket with bald face
Shadow and her twins. Teeny doeling in back

Enjoy <3

Wow! What an event! You have to be beyond exhausted. So emotionally draining and stressful yet exciting all at the same time.
It's a wonder how any goat keeper has any adrenal glands left!

They are wonderful! Glad all came out well (no pun intended LOL) !
