Wow, these pictures don't look real to me. They look so huge (and healthy)! Mine are less than a month away from lambing and they are so small I can barely tell if they are pregnant and I am feeding them a lot. Gosh, I sure hope those girls will lamb soon, as it's got to be uncomfortable for them. LOL.

Just wanted to update, my two ewes had an 11.2 lb single ewe lamb (3rd pic) and triplets (1st/2nd pic) -- a 5.8 lb ewe, a 6.8 lb ewe, and a 7.8 lb ram.

Sheep girl.....the ewe with triplets was carry one heck of a weight of lamb, let alone waters, placentas and enlarged womb! Pic please......

Longface is still hanging on to hers. I'll photograph her again tomorrow (a week since the last pic).

I went to the shed early this morning and the old girl had one ewe lamb out and bleating and a second sac. Within a few minutes number two... a ram lamb, was out and bleating. As her third sac came down I noticed a tail. The old girl got down and let me have a feel....a flexed breech. No fuss whatever, she let me extend the legs and pull out a second vigorous ewe lamb.

Here she is with two lambs and the third, Amy, by the stove as a bottle lamb.

Adorable! :celebrate congrats and way to go Longface. I love the looks on the moms' faces right after they've had their babies. So dazed, and sweet and proud.
