I hope not! She's a sinking whale. Having a hard time getting around. She's going to have big kids either way!

It amazes me to see such little animals carrying multiple babies and when they're finally born, 12 hours after birth I can't imagine how they fit "all of that" inside them! Even puppies... 8 pups or more, and it's amazing that "all that" came from inside one dog. :fl for zero issue births!

I'm beginning to think Morgan is just fat.

The buck she was bred to will have been dead 5 months (163 days, actually) next Friday. The other does he was bred to have all kid. Last one was two weeks ago. Her "due" date was the 12th, and she's got no udder development at all. When I tested her two months ago she was bred but she could have miscarried, it happens.

I'm giving her until Friday and then giving up.

Karma, on the other hand, is bagging up early and nicely. See the difference?

Lilly looks like she's carrying a soccer team. Poor girl.

We've got a month or so left until the first set of due dates of our last kids until 2018, unless we breed some junior ND in the spring.

It's O.K.

I know C would've liked to have more kids on the ground from her beloved Captain, but, she got four great ones out of him. A buck to replace him with included. Captain is also Sparrows dad.

Oh well!

We've got tons of babies coming and need to prepare either way.

Pearl and Hollar round three.

Third times the charm she finally accepted him and stood like a good girl.

He covered her about eight times before she was done with him. Fingers crossed!

Also, Karma and Prudence are filling up nicely.

Karma is down for the 12th, and Prudence is down for the 16th as first day to kid.

The count down is on... again.

I just wish Morgan hadn't been just fat. :(
