I'm so excited, I just can't hide it...

Felt Pawnee's udder getting fuller but visually not much until today, been so busy lately but got a good look and <booya> there it is!! Pawnee is due Feb 1 and I told her she has to have it on that day or the 2nd cause I am off work
I know she totally agreed with me cause I bribed her with a carrot...

Me too!

Last freshening she gave me twin buckling's but she never looked like she was pregnant, this time she has been bred to Shaq who has thrown a higher percentage of doelings AND Pawnee looks like she is preggers not huge like her momma of which am glad, as cool as it might be if she had quads, with my schedule bottle feeding 2 kiddo's would be hard.

And yes I have been out of fresh milk for over a year, now that we are settled I want some milk and cheese and yogurt ....

I will be milking Pawnee for sure fulltime, her FF she had a nice little udder so I am excited to see how it develops this time, Cookie is due Feb 6 and this time she is going to get milked fulltime as well.

I know some don't agree with the auto milkers but my DM will milk the hours I can not. I was able to get a bus route that will allow me to milk in the morning at 5:30 am, 2 of the 4 days I work I will be able to milk at 5:30 pm but the other 2 days my mom will have to...then I am off work for 3 days so I will be able keep an eye on stuff, my DM isn't so good at knowing when my goats are off I am still working with her learning curve.

But getting ahead of myself its just going to be GREAT having kiddos AND milk again!!! AND I want to be there this time when Pawnee kids....
