I dropped my camera.
Now there's a lot of noise in all of my pictures. Especially low light pictures. It's really breaking my heart, but, I am saving up to replace it. Just a little frustrated with myself.
I still attempted to get out this evening and get some updated pictures of everyone. That didn't work to well, as I ended up chasing this stick bug around for about 45 minutes and lost all of my natural lighting. This bug entertained me until my husband stepped on it, apparently he didn't see it. Although I understand why, it broke my heart a little. He was such a good subject!
After I spent a few seconds picking at John for stepping on the tiny, two inch bug he didn't even know existed ( nor bother asking why I was laying flat on the ground with my camera pointed towards the ground ) I got up and chased some of the goats around. Total failure. I didn't have enough light left to get good pictures, but, I did manage to get a couple of Onyx to show just how HUGE she is. I just can't wait to see how many are hiding in there. She's larger than any pregnant goat I've ever seen in person, these pictures don't do that belly justice. She's over 40 inches belly button to belly button. It's ridiculous. She's dropped quite a bit in the last few days, but her udder hasn't filled in yet. She's so swollen and loose I'm afraid if he sneezes wrong she's going to shoot kids out! Last year she apparently didn't bag up or fill up until just a few hours before she kid, so we will be watching her VERY closely over the next few days. Her 'second' due date is coming up.
John, of course, took the opportunity to snatch up Mason and haul him around for a while. He was 'lost' about ten feet into the brush from his mother and screaming his poor little head off. Once he was picked up he calmed down and settled into being carried.
Here's a few of my failed attempts to get pictures of the goats, my camera doesn't like low light settings anymore

I lol'd at the thought of him not wondering why you were laying flat with your camera and stepping anyways.

K- this is the wrong time of year... we cannot handle kidding "ifs" right now. We aren't mentally geared for this. 
The rest of us are prepping for breeding.
We have so much stress figure out breeding plans and prepping the does.
and now you add this?
What were you thinking?
You can't bring this kinda crazy on here right now. Just sayin'
and- you got a 50/50 shot she has
and a 50/50 shot she hasn't

I didn't do it!
I bought her bred. I'm stressing about her due date mix up and now I'm going a little insane, and haven't even begun thinking about what bucks to put where!
There's rain in the schedule the next week. Maybe she will wait until it's POURING.

With any luck at all, she'll drop them in a big ol' mud puddle!!
