Suprise 2 new babies

Well I sure didn't expect Emily to deliver today. She has been floppy but I checked her ligaments at 9 am and they were like two steel shaft running along side her tail head. Jump on the other hand has not had hers for a while. Udder is full but she dose this to me. Came home at 330 got groceries in the house. Went out to do chores. Dh came to help do the grunt work. Asked me any new babies. Surveyed quickly seen jump said nope. Just Robi and her babies. Then I heard the sweetest sound!! New babyies. Jumped the fence Like I was a goat and ran to see two brand new just dropped still wet babies! Emily had her babies! Not much warnIng.
She has never liked to take care of her babies. SHe has them and walks away like ummm hey you dropped something. This time she is being very patient. She is letting the babies snuggle and nurse. Big change from her norm. It's a great thing. I have to go to north Dakota and wasn't sure what I would do with emmy and her babies.
She had a huge Doe and tiny buck. The doe is atleast 10 pounds if not 12. And the boy is about 7 at the extreme most. I'm thinking more like 5.
I plan on gettin pics in the am and will post as soo as I can.
Emily is Beckys daughter and they were together in the same house when Emmy delivered. Becky is always so patient with Emily. She is a great mom. She helped clean the babies. Becky is still a little off. I'm hoping she will be ok with her delivery. But I got to snuggle Becky, Emily and her two babies. It was so great.

What a great surprise & I'm so glad Emily is being a good mom this time. Hope Becky gets to feeling herself soon too.
