All the girls got their pre-kidding haircuts this weekend :) we clipped them down, not all the way cuz I still think it's way too cold for them to be naked back there. But we clipped the backsides and their udders that are slowly growing!

Temperatures today and tomorrow aren't supposed to be over 30, and the lows are supposed to be 13 and 18 tmw... Eeek! 150 days is Wednesday for two of them, and Thursday for two... Hopefully they go right on time, the temperatures are supposed to be much better then! 40 and 51 with lows in the mid 20. I can handle that!

Oh, and I'm supposed to be gone over the weekend, leaving Friday (of course!!) so I'm REALLY hoping they go on time!! Hubby will be there but it's just not the same!
:fl :fl :fl

Yesterday was our first due date, annnnddd nothing! Today is our second due date... As of this morning before I left for work no one looked ready to go. I leave TONIGHT for my trip. :barnie Come onnn girls!!

I just hope at least one goes today before I have to leave! My husband is on watch when I'm gone, and I'm sure it'll be fine, but I want to BE THERE!! :fl :fl :fl

ETA: today's temps are in the 40's and it's supposed to be 60 by this weekend! It's not been above freezing for about 2 weeks I think. Maybe this will bribe them into kidding? I HOPE I HOPE I HOPE!!

Romeo is so handsome! And going such great lengths to be with petunia, it must be "true love" :gig;)

Screech went sometime early this morning!! Of course I was already on the road by then. My husband sent me pics (two boys), said all was good, both were up nursing, she passed the afterbirth, all was good, so he went to work. Well... He came home and said one of them is laying flat, hollering. He said it doesn't look like it can get up, and is nursing very little. What do I do?? BoSe?? B12?? HELP PLEASEE!!
