Omgosh congratulations!!!! I've been reading this whole thread - on the app it is 58 pages! As I got closer to the end I was getting more and more excited when I realized I was only about two hours behind the "action".

Also, I don't have goats yet, but I can tell yours apart with only pictures of their vahoohas.

I'm so exhausted. Its like a month of craziness all wrapped up in my precious boys. the runt is walking better, tails are all wagging, big loud cries, beautiful blue eyes....will go out every three hours to check on them. They are adorable. My kids all watched the birth. Of course the only unintrigued wad my Nieve, (my 4th cold) who said, eww I'm going to barf.




PS I forgot to mention...she delivered two placentas???? I found two separate sacs on the barn floor.

Unless one was a sac with no baby?
Idk

I'm so glad you all stuck this out. Should I start a new thread for trouble or just keep this one?

Grace...I know. I seen that a week ago on the video link of your baby kicking mama, and fell in love with it. That video was exactly how these boys looked before delivery, rolling and jumping all over. Needless to say, they are all over the place and each other right now.

He is adorable. Fainting goats are typically little anyways, especially the dwarfs, but he's the smallest I've ever seen. That one pic is my ten year old daughter bending down to pet him. He is just small. About the size of my husbands work boots
And still alive!! I've decided that his issue with eating is that his mouth is so small he ends up sucking on the side of the nipple until the tip slides into his mouth, and then he moans and whines and talks and a wags his little tail. Its so cute. Takes him a while, but he's got plenty of energy and is able to get up and go to mama to eat. He searches her whole body before he finds it though lol.

Pony- I think I'm even more tired now that they are here. At least when they were just driving me crazy living in the tummy, I could go to bed at night and just plug in the monitor. Now I have to go out every few hours and make sure the runt is getting his fair share of turn at the nipple.
lol
I figure if he makes it a week or so, then I can space my checks out further and not have to worry....but then about that time, trouble will be kidding.
Trouble and Cadence bred to the same buck, who keeps throwing tiny babies....praise the Lord...
If Trouble had small babies too.. Then there may be four or five in there....ha ha


She is still the size of a house, and double as big as cadence was

What a great thread! Kept me glued to this computer all morning! These little girlies can be quite the drama queens. I thought mine was the only one, but apparently not LOL. Miranda, I hope your Trouble gives you some beautiful babies for all your hard work, love and patience. May there be no trouble at all! Praying for you!
