Maybe today, they are so MISERABLE, they can't stand for a long period of time, shifting weight from left side to right side and back again, they lay down and just groan so loudly, The white one with spots, laid down yesterday (it took 5 minutes to get down) But when she finally hit the ground she let out the biggest FART you ever did hear, I told her that it wasn't lady like, after the ground stopped vibrating. 
, once they are down for a while they can't stand the discomfort, moaning and groaning, so back up they go. This Am at 6:00 when I went to check on them, the white one wouldn't get up, after being out there for some time, I got her up and she peeeeeed and then I went to check her back end and she peeeeeed some more, there was a little stringy clear stuff hanging this time, So maybe today, of course I had to go to work so I am no longer with her 
, but I do have a older daughter at home who will check on her for me. Then maybe I will get to go home early if things progress far enough. 
, I really just want to beat straw, and lamb before he Kids it a race you know

You made me choke on my coffee!
Straws girls don't seem to be doing much. Katie (my ND) is due tomorrow. It'd be funny if katie went before sis!
Your girls have got to be miserable. What is the gestation for sheep?
I notice the sheep seem to lay down for kidding, our goats tend to stand. Is laying down the norm for sheep?
Oh, and good morning!

You haven't said much about Katie, Watch you will kid before Me and Straw that would be so tipical of livestock 
Sheep will usually lamb lying down
except when their coming faster then momma is ready, have seen momma cleaning off the first one and ooops second one hanging out, 148 days average for babies with sheep. Yes as for the fart only a MAN could of been so proud The babies are very visable now, as momma's are so big the babies are doing all kinds of flips inside them, Just hope they at least have two good size healthy girls each, So pray for PINK....... 
PS I really did turn around to look to make sure no one else was there and thought I'd let that fart go ,

please...say it aint so! I've been avoiding going out to check since 6:00 cause it is raining so much... but since the rain isn't going to stop I guess I'll put my boots on and make it through the lake out there and check everyone. :/

Noon, my DD just checked on sheep for me, THOSE TWO FAT AS.........ES are standing there eating hay, I just can't believe that they can think about eating at a time like this. they just keep gaining and gaining weight, then lay around and moan and groan and expect me to feel sorry for them, 
maybe I am being to hard on them, maybe they are just waiting for me to get home so I don't miss out
can anyone tell this is killing me, I need to lamb before straw kids
