Nora is in early labor...

it's going to be another ..... UP ALL NIGHT :baby04: ... Nora is in early labor (ligaments gone, grouchy and uncomfortable.. up & down, up & down) She had a quick easy labor last year (twins, boy & girl, both spotted and longggg bodied kids) I'd be happy with that again this year! (While out talking to Nora just now, I'm thinking Wanda (ff) might also being starting to labor...
here's a couple pics of Nora. She's a sweetie.. has a lovely udder. I'm looking forward to milking her (she was a small ff last year, so I just dried her up)

LOL...nope the other post is Tessie. Nora FINALLY kidded this morning (we were up ALL night) she had twins.. buck/doe... will post pics after I get evening chores done. We also had another set of buck/doe twins (within 15mins of Nora kidding, Joy was sneaky and PRETENDED not to be in labor.. so I spent the evening watching Nora & Wanda... Joy's twins were already spoken for and have already been picked up.. (thank goodness LOL) less bottles.. Wanda... she is still pregnant.. guess they just want us to be up AGAIN tonight.. this will be night 4 of one hour of sleep or less at a time. I had to run into town today and actually almost drifted off... scary... but, when I realized it (we live on really windy, curvy roads) the shock really woke me up.. I bet I was one of the most awake fat ladies at the grocery store.. granted I did have hay in my hair and after I got home, realized I had blood on the side of my arm....ahhhh.. I'm so tired.
susie, mo ozarks

WOW, you poor thing. This is a wonderful time of year but WOW, it really runs you down.
I thought because of the spots it was Nora, but I guess I was wrong.
Sounds like you are going to be busy again. Please be careful and try to get some sleep.
Post the pictures when you get time and some sleep.

Congrats! Seems your babies are all boy/girl pairs, huh? It seems all I get is boys, but all I want is girls! lol!
So glad you woke up and didn't have an accident today! That would not be good. Be careful, and nap when you can.
