The waiting game is on (Over!)

Yaaaay! Gretel is looking good! Very much like my gals. The extra moisturizer and sometimes crustiness I attribute to them stretching and prepping for the big day. They have all those extra hormones too. Bless their little hearts. I'm still thinking twins!!!!!
Agnes is looking good too. Is Gretel a bit further along/due earlier?

Strong healthy babies!!!!!

Gretel is due one day before Agnes, technically, but I have them on the same kidding day because I purchased her has "exposed" from an auction, which doesn't really mean anything most times, but could sometimes. Initially, I thought false pregnancy, but I've seen little feet pounding on her side, very much different from rumen movement, and she has all the other symptoms as Gretel. She was quite wide for a while, but then got thinner and dropped low.

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Ooooo!!!! Thinner and dropped low was RIGHT before Bambi kid. I literally said that day, she doesn't even really look pregnant anymore!!! That night, twins!!!!! I hope for you too!
Any ideas on whom they were 'exposed' to? I've never been to a livestock auction.

She dropped about 2 weeks ago so that doesn't help me LOL.

Well, Gretel for sure will either be my Cashmere-Spanish or Saanen buck. Agnes was also exposed to them, but I guess she was running with a Boer and Savannah buck too, which would be fine with me.

Agnes is losing her ligaments. Last night I noticed they were soft, this morning they are spongy, and ironically, both the girls look bigger than ever before. If Agnes had been this size all along, I might have said twins from the get-go. Her pooch is really poofy, best way to express it is it looks like it's blewn up with air and she's being quite gentle. I do hope she has them today, mind you, the predicted great weather has suddenly gone away. I'm just glad I'm here for the first 3-5 days of their life so I can make the judgement call on if they need to go into work with me or not.

Yaaaaaaay!!!!!

I'm just as excited for yours as I am for mine. We have been waiting and mis-calculating foreverrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Passssss the popcorn....okay okay Kettle Corn. Mmmmmmmm!

 

[Sweetened]

[Sweetened]

how are we looking! i actually had to search for the ligaments, wasnt sure i was looking right all the sudden but it just seems they are almost gone, somewhat there.

this is how she is holding her tail. sometimes she flicks or shakes it. you can see how poofy she is back there.

and gretel, looking even bigger all the sudden. I have someone dropping off cow mineral for me as she has the copper deficiancy again. she's only done this since being pregnant. next year I won't run out!

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]
