2012 Baby Belly
 
Piper is due March 1st. Bless her heart, she looks like she's gonna explode already. She had triplets last year and is looking like atleast that many this year. What do y'all think?

She still has 2 more months!?! Definitely triplets. You may have to start following her around with her belly in a towel like a sling so she can move.

Backfourty,MI. 01/03/12 10:54 AM

Poor thing, are you sure she didn't pull a fast one on you & sneak in with the buck one night while you weren't looking?
I hope she'll be able to roll to the feed by March 1st! I definately say triplets, maybe quads!

T.Miller 01/03/12 11:27 AM

She's definately due March 1st :). She got really big last year, luckily she was still able to walk to the feeders, although it was very slowly. This is her just before she delivered a huge buck, a small buck, and a small doe last year.

Our neighbors had a doe way bigger than that last year and she kidded out... one. O.o. It was a buckling, naturally.

FrogTacos 01/03/12 02:42 PM

Sheesh! I will quit worrying about my girl so much then! She is due in 20 days, about the same size, and walking around really slow.

julieq 01/03/12 03:04 PM

Looks like trips, but one can never tell. We've had ours kid out with singles even though they were gigantic, so I'm guessing they sometimes gain just water weight like human gals do!

T.Miller 01/28/12 04:47 PM

4 more weeks!

I'm guessing twins. And since I'm usually wrong, she will probably have triplets.

Backfourty,MI. 01/28/12 06:04 PM

Poor thing, she's going to be miserable by then! Don't forget an update when she kids! Oh & the camera for baby pictures of course!

Backfourty,MI. 02/13/12 09:02 AM

She looks miserable but I can see she's hungry! Hehehe! I can't believe she has 2 more weeks to go!

Suzyq2u 02/13/12 09:24 AM

UGH poor baby!!

Oat Bucket Farm 02/13/12 09:43 AM

Wow, she got bigger!

mrs.H 02/13/12 11:21 AM

Wow!!

Rechellef 02/13/12 04:22 PM

Gosh, I have a Saanen doe due the first week of April and she's already almost that big. Hmmmmmmmm - I'm thinking multiples then.

Holy Pregnant Goat Batman!

Poor Girlie!

The one next to her is her Dam, 7 year old GCH Here Be Goats SX Syeda 1*M. She is my baby. I love them all, but she is my favorite. She is due to have her babies 2 days before Piper's due.

Counting down the days now. Piper is on day 141. She has dropped and her udder is filling nicely. Thinking pink!

I agree, triplet doelings!

T.Miller 02/21/12 09:44 AM

A bonus picture for those of you that like my Syeda baby. She is on day 144. I'm seriously thinking pink here. She gave me twin bucks the past 2 years in a row. She will be 7 in March and her kid total so far is 5 bucks 4 does.

Poor thing I hope she goes really soon, she looks more than ready! Probly hard for her to get comfortable too much now.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you & Yarrow have lots of triplet doelings this year! I had triplet doelings last year & was excited since it was our first time here for triplet doelings too.

Suzyq2u 02/25/12 03:14 PM

Any update? :)

T.Miller 03/01/12 09:45 AM

The Babies Are Here
 
WHEW! It has been a busy past few days. Miss Piper had quads, 3 bucks and a doe. Sadly the doe was d.o.a. :(
I did get TRIPLET DOES on Sunday from Syeda (the black and white doe pictured above). :)
On Monday Lucy gave me triplets, 2 does and a buck. And on Tuesday Tesla gave me buck/doe twins.
Kid count 7 does and 5 bucks. I have 4 more does due between now and April 11.

Terry

Minelson 03/01/12 09:48 AM

wow! you do sound busy! But not busy enough to not take and post pictures of the babies! ;)
Congrats on all of them and sorry you lost the little doeling :(

Backfourty,MI. 03/01/12 09:50 AM

Congratulations on all the healthy babies but I agree we definately need pictures of all those little one's.
I am so sorry the one little doe was dead on arrival.

T.Miller 03/01/12 12:11 PM

I'll try to get pictures for y'all this evening and post them tomorrow.
