When you get pictures tomorrow you should take some of aunt B's kid also. I have a feeling she looks awesome. Well I am glad things are getting better as far as parasites.

So Daisy is being induced? Is she having problems or is she a problem kidder or do you just need to be there?

What medicines are you using?

We have plans this weekend and we wanted to make sure we were more available. We are using lutalyse, we tossed around the idea of using dexamethosone, but we already have the Lut, se we are going with 2 cc of lutalyse. We decided to give it to her tonight, instead of trying to get it done in the morning befor my husband has to go to work.

I meant to add that you would go with dexamethazone in an emergency situation were you aren't sure of the due date, but you have to induce to save the doe, more than likely due to pregnancy toxemia. Dexamothazone helps the lungs develope so if you are a too early, The kids may have a little better chance.

I don't know the exact dosages off the top of my head, but it is something like 2 or 3 cc of dex a day for 2 or 3 days to help develope the lungs and then when you have to induce it is a larger dose of like 15cc.

Since we know Daisy's due date are we are positive she is 150 days on Satuday, We decided the lutalyse would be just fine. We have never induced before so this will be a learning experiience for us. Roll gave us some advice and shared her experience with us from when she induced a couple does. She said they kidded with in 24 hours after giving the lutalyse.

This one is on a bottle, but mom still looks after her.

The bottle baby, has kind of interesting coloring on her head, with an eye patch. Makes her look illusive.

Can't forget the star of the week. So here is Daisy with Aunt B and her doelings munching on some sumac leaves.

Then everyone decided it was feeding time and ran to the barn. Ever get the feeling you are being watched?
