Sweetened-don't be too jealous! Your still basking in your doe mommy glow! Bambi was sooooo sweet too! Now she's not even 'leave me alone'....more like attack of the killer mama goat!!!! Lol!!!
She's slowly but surely coming around. I'm very patient, and persistent!
I just need to be extra hands on with her babies, so they aren't anti-social like their poor mama. I swear, I wonder if she ever had human contact?!
It's waiting time again!!! Up next is Shadow and Cadillac then Marilyn and Magnum!!!
Shadow was looking and acting rather cranky, heavy breathing, very swollen lady bits, and a nicely developing udder!!!
I thought Shadow due (150) date was Feb24, but upon closer inspection of my notes, that was the last day her and Cadi were in the love shack! First of the week puts at Feb18! Meaning today is day 145!!!!! She is a FF and is exactly a yr and 6mon. Cadi just turned a year.
We didn't think Shadow took, until 2weeks ago when her teats and udder began development! I couldn't be more proud! She doesn't look very pregnant as she is a very small doe. She comes from trips, her mother is a trip kidder and her mother was a quad! I'd be happy with a single healthy baby....preferably a doeling!!!!!!
Cannot wait to share!!!
Getting good pics of Shadow is like getting a picture of a yetti. She is VERY shy and likes to stay in her house most of the time. excuse the not being groomed and the cashmere, been a bit nippy!
Shadow started looking miiiighty uncomfortable last night. So we put up the other side of birthing pen to give her some privacy. That is until right now. I'm sitting in here explaining how Valentine's babies would make m the happiest mommy in the world. She then plopped, proceeded to hold her breath, grind her teeth and have seemingly mild contractions! !!! Sooooo excited I can barely stand it!!!!
I am a bit nervous though. Shadow is very petite and I'm really praying this goes smoothly. I'd be soooo happy with just one! But with her genetics, I just have no clue?
Happy Valentine's to everyone! !! Especially my dears waiting for babies to drop!
