Overrun with beasties
I'm starting to get anxious and a little freaked out. My first kids born from my does will be here soon. I feel prepared but nervous. I feel like I can handle the delivery just fine, I am not freaked out about that at all. The thing I am worried about the most is that I will miss it and their will be problems and I won't be there to help. I can only check on them a few times during the day while doing daycare. The weekends are fine. I wish I knew what it felt like when they "lose their ligaments", I feel and I "think" I can feel a difference, but I have nothing to compare it to. I wish I knew what their udders look like when they get the "BOOM", I have looked at tons of pictures of the BOOM, but what will it look like on my girls. The 3 girls are first timers so who knows if they will wait to the last minute to fill up with milk. The first 2 could technically be due anytime from the 24th to June 8th. They never really showed a first heat cycle so I put them in with the buck together and he stayed with them for a few months. 
First time breeding so I made some mistakes. 
Next time I will know to watch them cycle and only have a 2 day window on breeding dates. I did see a lot of "action" the first week of January and then nothing for the rest of the time, so I am pretty sure of possible due date week. I have waited patiently for this and now I am wanting things to happen, I NEED to have some babies born around here!!
