Aravis' sister kidded last week with triplets.
Pretty capacious udder for a FF.

Ugh....hope she goes ahead and gets it over with!

So far, no dice. I was home ALL DAY yesterday and even went and got the girls a huge half roll of oat hay. They love that stuff. Thought maybe she'd want more room to eat and pop that baby out, but it didn't work.

Then today, when I was actually close to getting concerned, I decided to double check my dates and make sure I didn't figure her due date wrong. These things have happened before... So, I looked and yes, she was bred on Nov 22, so that makes her due date the 20th or 21st. Then I turned the page, and BOOM, guess what? I bred her again. December 10. Which I don't at all remember. Good thing I wrote it down... So I guess I get to sleep for another week.

The bad: The Saturday that she will be at 147 we have 4H district events. Thankfully it's only 35 minutes away unlike before when it was a little over a n hour away. The Sunday she's due is Mothers day and we have afternoon plans. I'll just hope it works out I guess.

That's awesome. Aravis's was great for a FF and a single. I'm really excited to see her next year. I can tell a huge difference in my third freshener that had a single versus twin/triplets in the past. She still has a nice udder and is milking great, but just never reached the same production- and I milked her twice a day from the day she kidded. I really liked having late December babies so we are planning on that again for most of the Nigerians and any of the Lamanchas I can get bred that early.

We are on baby watch. Her udder is a little fuller. Shes due the 10th (150 days). I'm not sure anything will happen tonight, but not sure it won't either.

We are on the home stretch. Contractions and some goo!

Oh man- she's a screamer! She's not even pushing. Even at 3am I wouldn't have missed this one. Lol.
