Awh that was nice of you!!

Up for my first 2 hour check of the night. Tootsie got up when i decided to lift her tail (she HATES that). Tootsie has a small (ie size of a pea) creamy white discharge and some stickiness to her tail. I have opted to stay up and watch the Flintstones and head out in another hour for another look. When she kidded last year i remember the people we bought her from saying they checked for kids, came back 2 hours later and she had given birth.

That white discharge could mean kids today or next week . Hope you have a lot of movies to watch. Glad they have all made it past day 145.

I have seldom seen kids move in my does. A lot of times the movement I do see is their rumen.

Gretel day 151, ligs unchanged, relaxed on top, firm on bottom.

Gladys day 150, groans through rumen movement when laying down. Super uncomfortable. Boy can she stretch though, i watched her get her head under her back leg to scratch her udder. She groaned a lot about it, but accomplished it.

Flora day 146, actually appeared to be opening up this morning, but i may just be overly hopeful.

Tootsie day 146, still no ligs, but it is the moring. No interest in hay, lost her mucus plug last night (which i could have sworn she did a couple weeks ago). She gets up if/when i try and check for discharge, but otherwise wont get up. When i get her up she squats to urinate and very little comes out. She is actually even THINNER than yesterday -- didnt think that was possible with a baby in there!

Maybe. But we are expecting 10-15cm of snow tomorrow with a windchill of -40 from the worst wind direction possible. So probably tomorrow!

Yea we are getting bad weather too! As I was reading through all the posts that I missed I was laughing in my head, you guys are such comedians. Anyhow I would take a bet and say that she will go when you yourself can barely drag yourself outside cause its so cold. Our one ewe Belle lambed on the coldest day of the year last year, but thats another story. I am so jealous everyone is getting babies, I want my share These next few weeks are gonna feel like years


Hope they kid soon

Ohhh the weather and temperature here doesnt stop us, cant stop us, is no an option. I will, however, stock everyone up on food and water so im not lugging that around in cutting wind.

If the option was given I would take more snow over the cutting winds....
