Okay here is the videos, pictures, and story of how it all went down.
It was VERY windy yesterday so excuse the noise on the film.

Her contractions were very visible and very frequent. She was very very vocal throughout the morning and in the early afternoon. Really she was only vocal when I wasnt out there with her.
Contractions

You could tell when a contraction was coming on because she would suddenly go from standing to uneasy and pacing around, then she would try and have her front end stand tall her than her back end.
When the contractions became close together she basically gave up fighting them and just laid down. She would throw her head up on the wall and just wait them out that way.

Her udder never got really large and shiny like you hear about and see pictures. Here it is 30 minutes before she kid

Then she started pushing. First it was little pushes, but there was no fluid, goo, nothing. I thought maybe they were just uncomfortable adjustment pushes (if those exist )
She moved from outside the "barn" to the stall and put herself up against the wall (youll see me pull her off the wall in the video).
The first bit of fluid to come out was pure blood. At first I was taken back by it but hoped for the best

Then came this white, very sticky, sort of dry like substance. This is when I started to worry a little. I was hearing odd gurgling from back there

She struggled with this for a few good hard pushes. Grunting, some baaing, some rocking.. Finally all my worried passed when I saw the "goo sac"

About 5 minutes after this appeared she started pushing out the first kid. Here are the shortened video of both births
Shyanne Kidding Twins



I knew it was more than a single birth. The first baby was really small

The second one came about 5 minutes later

I dont have any dried pictures yet. My phone is charging now and I since I had neglected all my chores to be with Shyanne yesterday I had to make up for them after the birth.
Ill go out and check on them once it warms up, but what I can see from the window they are just fine and very active

Shyanne seemed to be over the moon

Congratulations!! Love all the pictures and the video. Really appreciate seeing all the different scenarios so that if things like the blood happens to me I'll know not to panic.
