Update on Wendy's udder

[Parsnip]

It's been about a week since I last posted a thread about Wendy.
I've been taking pictures of her udders weekly.
I think I'm noticing a difference finally?
... now that I'm typing all this out I feel like a creepy sheep lady.... :/
OH WELL.
But compared to last week, her udder definitely feels like it has some bulk to it.
Not just a fleshy skin bag anymore.
I also feel creepy saying I feel my sheep's udder for changes.
Wendy doesn't seem to mind though? Her tail is like a limp noodle to she lets me take pictures freely.
Oh boy... I do sound creepy!

Anywho, here are some pics.

Still incredibly small, but please tell me I'm not just seeing things?
I'm so excited about this, I feel like I'm posting a lot haha. *nervous laughter*

creepy sheep lady!
Not creepy at all!
I have been exchanging e-mails with a friend who has been checking "hooha's" throughout the day.... Isn't this normal???

 

[Parsnip]

OH GOOD I THOUGHT I WAS WEIRD.

Haha, I have more pictures of sheep lady bits than I care to admit...

AND YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE? HOORAY OH BOY I'M SO EXCITED!!!

DEFINITELY looks different.
Taking 'graphic pics' is all part of the educational process.....well that's MY story and I am sticking to it.
Seriously,though...the teats are straighter and fuller and there is the start of a little bag. Often udder development is late and not so pronounced in 'first timers'.
Fingers crossed for a lamb.

Lightly feel her back side belly area. Sometimes you will be able to feel the baby.
But from what her teats look like I'm gonna say your gonna have a Rambo baby. LOL, I'm intrigued to see what it will look like.

Good good good!
Definitely thought I was just crazy for a while there.

Yes!
I can't wait to see what the little lamb(s) will look like.
It would be interesting if they had some blackbelly markings on them....
I'm going to assume they'd be mostly brown though?
I wish there was a way to determine coat color genetics with hair sheep!
lol

When is she due?

 

[Parsnip]

Well, the only recorded instance of her standing and being serviced by the ram was the day I went to pick her up.
So the last week of August is when I got her.
It was just a quick glimpse of the ram leaping up on her.
We spooked them when driving up to the gate, so it's an iffy thing...
I put a tentative date down for her, and it's the 22nd of January.
Of course, she could have stood for the ram earlier and I didn't know?
So I don't know honestly

Just a guess really. I don't know how close, or far away she is from lambing?
