On the udder development front, Ali has started to build an udder. Each half is about the size of a golfball. :D

And here she is about 2-3 ft in the air. :ep For a 9.5 month old lamb, this girl still has a lot of 'little lamb' energy!!

I forget the percentage, but most of the fetal growth occurs in the last 4-6 wks of pregnancy. And you can definitely tell--look at how BIG these ladies got in ONE week!

Ali (day 143 is Feb 27, day 147 is March 3). Pic on left was from seven days ago, pic on right was today.

And here are the ladies again....I hate how their wool blends so well with the grass! It makes seeing how big their bellies really are really hard! lol

Lady Gaga is a hoot! She's a jumper for sure. It's a wonder she doesn't try and jump the fence!

The girls are getting so big! I am anxious of them to lamb. :D More cute lambies from Sheepgirl's sheep!

I don't know where Lady Gaga gets all of her energy from! lol She gets excited by seeing a cat and off hopping and leaping and running she goes! I just wish the pictures turned out clearer, though :/

And I know! I can't wait to see how big they get right before they lamb! :D
