I’m going to post some maternity pics of the girls so I can compare… we are still 6 weeks out before due dates! And I’m dying for some little ones 😅
Here’s Peach… she had b/g twins as a FF last year. Her mom had quads as a 2F, so I’m curious to see what she’s got hiding in there. She is getting a bit wide, due date 2/8-2/10.

We’ve got Jolene also with 2 possible due dates of 2/4 or 2/10. She’s my oldest doe and will be a 5F this year. She had 1, 3, 4, and 4 last year, but one had died earlier on.

They are beautiful girls, definitely have a variety of color! What buck are they bred to?

They all look great! That is awesome about Uni, she looks like a beautiful doe! I still love the variety of color you have and am so sad we've sold all of the color out of our herd - not on purpose, just how it worked out.

Aww they all look great! Such sweet faces!!! Boy look at Jolene's belly from that angle! They all look like they have some good sized bellies going there! I can't wait to see what they have. Our girls are due about the same time so I know you are just as ready for them to kid as we are for ours :) Although truthfully I have sooo much to get done before babies hit the ground, I hope I can get a lot done the next few days.

Aww they are really cute! Love those preggo bellies! It's so funny how they look standing vs laying down. Our one doe due on Sunday looks like a beached well, while her sister due in 2 weeks melts into the ground lol.
I sure hope the girls don't decide to kid while you have to be away for the appt and activities. Just don't tell them you have to go anywhere, tell them you will be home, watching them closely... lol

Hopefully they don't make you wait too long! Although if you had a cold Fri/Sat morning like we're having, you want them to hang onto their littles! Low of 18 tonight, ugh. Thankfully the 2 babies out in the barn are content in their heating barrel and sweaters. We brought 2 in to bottle feed and they are sleeping in my daughter's room lol. I was so worried about inducing the one yesterday and her going earlier than I normally see (28-32 hours after shots on average).
it's supposed to be 47 for the high today (Sat), and low 37 and improve more the next few days. I'll take that kind of weather for sure over the high of 29 that we had yesterday (Fri).

LOL frog videos...LOL!!! OMG love it!!! I'm glad they all settled down after their hormonal fits, does... lol.
Hopefully you get a good doe to buck ratio! We have 4 does and 5 bucklings right now (6 bucklings but lost the runt that was born early). So the bucklings are starting to win this race, which scares me since we have 4 more to kid and 1 will have multiples for sure. Hopefully a couple more doe kids in the mix, but there are a couple of does I am okay with bucks so long as they are nice lol. At least with bucks it's usually easier to keep the herd at a decent size and not want to hoard and keep all the doelings lol.

UGH that was my reply earlier!! Some reason it just didn't post.

FANCY - looks like she is about ready to go! Getting real now with that goo! At least it looks like plug. I remember a week before Willow kidded she had amber colored goo and really freaked us out! I am used to the white goo like this or the random yucky wetness on their tail.

I am just finally getting a chance to get on here, and wow... I am so very sorry for your loss, that is absolutely heartbreaking. My heart goes out to you, I know that was a horrific thing to go through and then Sandy and her babies... You're definitely in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully everyone else is doing great and you are able to get some much needed rest and fluids.
We haven't had the same kind of stress, but still a very stressful day here trying to get everything done, and help a doe deliver triplets and tonight I feel dehydrated and my allergies are not happy. Lack of sleep does that to me, but also the hay dust... Kidding season is truly not for the weak! They are lucky critters that we love them!

I hope you had a better day today. Those little are beautiful and their feline friend looks like it is offended and wants to claim the crate? lol.
I won't lie... I was so happy when we moved our 3 bottle babies out to the barn! It was pure chaos even letting them out of the crate for 5 minutes in the house! Now they get out of their stall and run around the barn like they own the place.
