Mermaid loves it when I give her a back rub too, neck to tail. Reminds me of when I was pregnant, many, many years ago...backrubs were a blessing.

Yup, she sure does! Good luck to her. Mermaid is a primadonna and hollers a lot, but she kids beautifully and easily (knock wood).

Lalaith looks like she has nice, plumb teats! Both mamma's to be are huge! I've got a five-pack of those myself.......singing away in the front paddock. They have a month to go - poor dears. I'll have to take a picture. One of them has been singing since she was about eight weeks along! Her mother was one of quints - I hope she doesn't have that same thing in mind!

She's due Wednesday the 21st. Her daughter, Greta, a first freshener, is due two days later.

One of my Nubies (the one that died in the fire) would moan when she was really pregnant. I would go out and hold her head and stroke her nose bump and sing to her and tell her how beautiful she was. She would sigh and bury her head in my coat.

Silly goat. I miss her.

I won't have my goat babes until April or May... Loooooooong time to wait...

I have a Nigei doe that is not Due till April 19 she is quite on her way to looking that way. She kidded last year with twins on april 23rd, was no where near as big, so I am thinks may be trips or quads. I feel bad for her I am like "Girl" you have 2 more months to go, she is my herd queen so I know she can handle it, but man is she big for 3 months prego. I have one due March 15, that looks tiny next to her I felt kids but I am thinking well hoping twins, I am not found of single's as they can be large!!!
I can't waite to see what you get from your mama's I just love seeing all the kis pictures, it helps with my long waite till mine start popping!!
