Last kids of the season :) Pic heavy

My Pygmy/Nubian girl Mocha gave birth to her first babies this evening. First was a big buckling that I helped her a little with. About five minutes later she squirted out a smaller doeling.
She cleaned them and both were quickly on their feet seeking out the groceries. Both took big long drinks and mama couldn't have been more maternal.
This was a stressful wait after all the issues this season and I'm breathing a big sigh of relief tonight.
I'll get pics of them tomorrow when they're all dry and fluffy but here are a few from right after they hatched.
