Waiting on Buttercup *twins *baby pics are here!

[Horsefly]

So my last kidding for a few years is coming up. Buttercup accidently got bred so I'm hopping she does okay and there is just one kid in there. Our 4 month old buckling got out wih her for a couple hours while we were away and must have got her. I didn't think he had so I didn't write down a date but I think from what I can remember she should be due 3/23. She is only a year and 4 months old and is still smaller than her mom but is in pretty good condition and not really tiny so I am hoping she does fine. She has been building an udder since 1/24 and it's been slowly growing. She is full fainting goat and dad is 1/2 fainting 1/4 Nubian 1/4 Boar.
I don't have any recent pictures of Buttercup but will try and get some today to put up tonight.
I am hopping to get some of Alvin's flash in these kids, here is a baby picture all I have right now.

I am excited for this kidding but also sad because it will be my last one till I get out of college . I have been checking her udder and ligs twice a day for weeks and while the udder is full but not tight yet her ligs are defiantly getting softer . And I can feel a baby in there moving around and sometimes sticking out her side .
Okay here are their pictures:
Buttercup- she didn't want to stand up for a picture

And Alvin- every single picture I take of this goat has a blurry head, he is always moving it. Even in his baby pic!

I took pictures last night but have not had time to get on my laptop to upload them. She has no ligs, is off by herself, and is hollow like she has dropped. It can't be long now she must have been bred a week earlier than I thought. Pray she does okay being so small, I'm off to go sit with her and watch.

Twin boys born at 3:30 today. She didn't need help other than with the umbilical cords and mom and babies are doing great so far. Will update with pictures tonight, I'm exhausted.

The picture in the first post is a picture of the dad as a baby. I added some grown up pictures of him and of Buttercup before she kidded. Unfortunately I didn't get the flash I was after but they are still two totally adorable kids.
First out weighs 4.8 lbs and is more laid back.

Second born weighs 4 lbs and came out kicking and fighting. He could hardly wait to be free of his sack and was trying to stand almost imediatly. We all agree he is way to cute and pretty to be a boy but unfortunately we can't change that lol.

Both were up and nursing pretty fast and are total cuddle bugs. They think we are as much their mom as Buttercup is (who is being a great first time mom so far).
I need to go get the other camera card and I might have some more pictures to put up.

And some more pictures because I know how much we all love those baby pictures . We couldn't believe she had twins, we figured a big single when the second one started coming my dad thought I was jokeing! Nope he is right here lol.

Little trouble maker hardly 30 minutes after being born

We are thinking of naming one Toro for sure (not sure which one yet) and the other one either Waverly or Clover (St. Patricks day today). Any other ideas?
