Tulip day 144... Goo

Tulip is on day 144, she has started to loose her plug. 

Shes due Dec. 29 but I'm lookin for her to kid Dec. 27

The pictures below I took last night while sittin in the goat house, day 143. 

 I noticed alittle blood on Tulips hoohaaaa and figured it was her plug starting to come out.  I wont be surprised if Tulip delivers Quads again this time, shes huge.  I prayed over her and the kids last night, I just want them Tulip and the kids to be safe and healthy

 Keep Tulip and her babies in your prayers

Tulip... workin on day 148

Shes due March 23... this Saturday but could pop any minute now, lol

Prayin for healthy babies and momma

Stars Babies Are Here........

Woooweeeeeeee so glad kidding season on my lil farm is over... scary stuff right there for this city turned country girl! I love it & hate it all at the same time, lol. Guess yall wanna know what Star had... huh? Well she had 1 girl & 2 boys in that order. Everyone is beautiful, healthy already up almost dry, eating & walkin around. I'm in more love now. 

Star was acting strange so I had my brother go get my goat friend neighbor

This is why... 

The baby was was coming out in an abnormal position, breech, butt first, legs bent. 

Thank god my neighbor was here to help.

Update on Tulip...

No Babies Yet

I really thought she was gonna go into labor last night but nope, she still holdin on.  Maybe tonight, lol One good thing... we know she cant stay pregnant forever ;)

Star... almost 5 months

Star....  Sorry for all the crazy back & forth Star business lately but her 1st due date was more correct I do believe, which is May 12.  But I do kinda think she will go before then, shes so HUGE & at night when I check on them before goin to bed she is so uncomfortable... time will tell. I took the pics below last night... dont worry there is nothing wrong with Stars eye, she just didnt like the flash of the camera. I've noticed the past few days that Star has gotten mean towards the boys. If she could fling them across the barnyard, I do believe she would, lol. They just look at her wrong & she rams em..... better get back boys, Stars on the war path ;)

I "think" she was bred Dec. 14 or 15.

So she is due around May 12 Heres she is around 2 months, 3 months & 4 months... its really fun to look back at the post & see how much she has grown. 

Between Tulip & Star babies are gonna be everywhere... I cant wait!

"First of the Month" Tulip

Well, well, well I kept sayin I wanted to post about Tulip glad I waited til today...

 Cause its the 1st of the month and its time to link up with 

Murrieta 365: First of the Month - Round Two:

Subject: My Kinder Dairy Doe, Tulip

* Did you just call me fat!?!?

Her loves me :)

So Tulip is almost 5 months... its so close to baby time!  I'm so excited, I want it to hurry up & start, I hate waiting.  Shes HUGE, shes still goin to the pasture on nice days to munch & I started puttin her in the kidding stall a few days ago to start gettin her use to it. Lets talk about ligaments for a minute... this is all new to me & I'm learnin as I go, I feel Tulip & Star all the time & I do know when the ligaments are gone then baby time is really close. I guess when they are gone then I'll really know what I'm feeling for with Star &  I've been feeling on Tulips & Stars & heres what I can tell. Tulips are feeling soft or starting to disappear & Stars are still hard. I've seen alittle goo on both girls here & there & now I know thats just their bodies gettin ready, now if I see a long sting of goo, my family will be on their own, I'm not leaving her side... I dont wanna miss the birth! Just a few more days I hope... I really hope we have babies this weekend!

* Tulip was bred on Dec. 11, 2010. She is due to kid May 4 (146th day) - May 8 (150 day). The beginning of each month I'll take pics of her, so you can watch her grow, kid & mother her kids...This is gonna be exciting. This is all new to me so I'm learning as I go. If you have any advice you think I need to know, please feel free to share :) Heres a pic. of her at 1 month , 2 months , 3 months & 4 months

** I have another Doe pregnant... Star, (she is Tulips daughter). Stop back in sometimes this week to read about her.

...Playtime...

The goats just playin on their new toys

 Ringo & Peanut really are 2 peas in a pod

Update On Star:  No Kids Yet, lol

I "think" day 149

More pics from today H-E-R-E

Update on Star... Day 147

Well as most of you know from yesterdays post Star and alittle goo could go into labor anytime... These pics I took yesterday & last night, no babies yet but yesterday was day 147. Instead of pacing the floors waitin for paint to dry... I mean Star to go into real labor & have her kids, I went about my day doin chores, cleanin house, laundry, dishes then I decided since it was such a beautiful mornin/afternoon I'd let the girls out into the main yard to free range while I sat out in the shade & did alittle crochet.  The rest of the herd was in the pasture.

My Big Beautiful Mommas

Star is due this Saturday (4 28 12) & Tulip is due May 4

My cozy lil spot

Last night I went ahead & put Star in the kiddin stall just incase anything happened during the night... this is when I wish I had a baby monitor, need to get one. 

How do I get out of here, lol
