Maybe it wasn't a dream... maybe you were seeing yourself in an alternate dimension... :gig Hope it happens soon for you.

Well if that was an alternate dimension, I am hoping for two girls in this one!
It finally stopped raining! I just hung out with her for about an hour. She did this thing a couple times where she arched her back really awkwardly and I though it could be contractions but it only lasted a second or so and she stopped doing it. Maybe the babies were starting to reposition themselves? Ligaments are still there but there's a little bit of yellowish discharge. Maybe today will be the day. Maybe she'll make me suffer a couple more days lol

Still no babies! :barnie ...
I had a dream last night that she had a boy and a girl, today, wonder if that was a premonition or wishful thinking. I also had a dream the other day that the first one was upside down, but came out perfectly fine with a tug of the legs. Weird, huh?

Not weird at all! She is doing a good job of driving you nuts. My sheep do the same thing (well, some of them). Last year I had a dream about one of my pregnant sheep - I dreamed she gave birth, ignored the babies, and the second one was born still in the sack but it was alive and I had to save it. And it was brown. She gave birth the next day - and had twins, and the second was all brown! Luckily the parts about her ignoring the babies, and having to save the second one didn't come true.

I think she'll kid soon, hang in there :)

I think I read somewhere that when you see the yellow discharge you're 24-48 hours out. Good luck & :fl for doelings!

That's pretty awesome. I believe the twins in my dream were black, white, and brown. Both the mom and dad were solid tan so I don't think that part will come true lol

Nope, she's dragging this out as long as she can! I think she's almost there though, her udder has gotten bigger just since this morning and her ligaments are just about gone...

Thank you! After all this, the least she could do is give me some doelings!
