So we are playing the waiting game :lol: and we are forecasted to get snow(most likely will melt on contact) & rain starting Wednesday thru Friday morning...

So this is our kidding line up as of today
Melanie is at day 150
Munchkin just made day 145
Basil will be at day 145 tomorrow(Wed) and she looks ready to go!

Melanie is in our kidding area with Obie as a buddy, probably will move Munchkin and Basil there later today and move Obie back with everyone else.

So our idea to move Munchkin and Basil into our kidding area didn't meet Melanie's approval...and we ended up splitting off a section for Melanie to have by herself as she was nipping and pulling hair out on the other two :rolleyes:.

We ended up getting a good covering of white stuff yesterday afternoon...and wouldn't you know it that is when Munchkin went into labor and kidded. She is our mini mancha and FF. She is doing an awesome job with her kids..1 doeling and 2 bucklings

AND...not to be out done...Melanie started labor shortly after Munchkin kidded and ended up kidding about 11:30 pm last night, 2 bucklings! No pictures yet, it was after midnight before we got her and her boys all settled and then went to bed, DH had to get up early and be on a jobsite with materials by 6:30 am :th
