Everyone is fine. I knew i should have gone in early. The initial break did not include the presented waterbag and i continued to see it so figured babies could breathe. I thought it was a half hour after the first push, rather than water.
Next time i will just dive in when im uncomfortable with how its going.
They are beautiful, i left mom with them while i grabbed a bite. Will check on them shortly. They are both up, mom is interested and cleaning just not standing for them to drink yet and she doesnt want me helping with that. Icouldnt bring myself to pull one.

Give her some TUMS if you have any. Adds calcium which they can deplete quickly with long labor and difficult birth.
Do you give any drench or molasses warm water after kidding? This will help her perk up a bit.
It's been awhile and she needs to stand to get them nursing as well as pass the afterbirth, them nursing will help with that too.
Can't wait for pics!

She was never down. That was part of why i hesitated, i thought she just wasnt working on it, too busy eating. The kids were pulled with her standing. I just gave her a gallon of warm molasses water! I dont have tums but will grab some for next time. Didnt know that. Shes not a heavy producer which helps.
We are breaking (somewhat) our antique name theme for valentines names. Meet romeo and cassenova.
Though sven is mostly white, he has a few patches of black sable hairs and boy are these faces sable or what!! I was expecting white or cream kids as i read it is dominant in an f1 breeding with a saanen. Well theres lots of lightness in there but they are otherwise ober patterned.
