Winter Kidding Watch =) Aspen's Turn Pics Pg 59 ALL DONE

[helmstead]

Sorry folks! Gonna head out there soon. You take for granted how much help your spouse is until they're out of town!! Been a busy night getting stuff ready for school tomorrow...kids to bed...blah blah.

Patsy's ligs have been gone for a day now, maybe there will be some surprises when I get back out to the barn?

That would be awesome.

No surprises from Patsy, but she's lost her plug so, soon!

Here are Godiva's triplets

Doeling - blue eyed

Buck #1 - either gold or blue eyed, will be able to tell when the sun comes back out

Buck #2 - again either gold or blue eyed, and I kinda wanna retain him LOL

This was another tough labor, and of course DH being gone. The first one out presented UPSIDE DOWN. I have to say, that was the hardest pull I've done! Her pelvis kept getting hung on the dam's pelvis. She was gasping for air, and I was pretty sure I was going to loose her! You just can't pull them at the right angle when they're upside down...I finally put my foot on Godiva's rear and just pulled with everything I had before she suffocated...and after some vigorous rubbing and thumping, she came to and started breathing. WHEW. Then the twin bucks were tangled up, but all I had to do was shove one back and Godiva then delivered them just fine.

Man, you have been having a tough time this year with birthing! I feel for you!

Adorable triplets though!

Actually, I've assisted with maybe 3 out of 21 so that's not too bad. And they've all turned out well, so no complaints here...!

Patsy kidded some time after my 1 am check with twin bucks. Photos soon.

Glad you got the upside down kid out okay. Wow, what a job that must have been! Godiva's trips are beautiful babies!

GOOD SAVE!! Godiva was probably confused about there being more than one

That doeling... What a face she has.
