It's a GIRL!! Black and tan with a white star!! I'm over the mooooooon...
and...now what? I walked out there not 15 minutes after my goo update and she had baby coming already!- She came out nose over toes, so I pulled one leg out so she could squeeze out. Pretty simple assist. Momma is doing a wonderful job licking and cleaning her, and baby laid there for a minute looking rather stunned, so I gently picked her up and did some swinging upside down-she sneezed a couple times and is starting to pick up her head. SO SO SO CUTE! I'm dying of cuteness overload!
So...
When should she start standing/nursing?
When can I expect a sibling, if there is one?
YAYYYYYY!!

afterbirth coming, so I'm thinking that means one baby? So cute. So so cute! She's trying to stand up now. Of course, momma has no idea how to nurse her..hoping that goes well!

Congrats on a doeling!! If there is a sibling it should be born pretty soon after the first unless there's a problem. You can do a belly bounce by quickly pushing against her right side. If you feel something hit your hand back then there's another. They usually stand up and try to attempt to nurse by half hour or so. Again, congrats!

yup, shes trying to nurse. Mama isn't so excited about that little plan, but I'm trying to give them some time to work it out. Teats aren't plugged and baby's rooting around, so I'm hopeful that very soon she can have her drink. :celebrate

Sometimes they are still having pretty strong contractions and then with the afterbirth feeling weird to them, it can distract them and cause them to be uneasy about letting the kids nurse. Especially, younger does.
