Counting blessings and unborn kids

Want to take a second to thank all the experts here for their patience and "truth telling" when it comes to goat problems! Much appreciate all of you sharing your knowledge and experience with such candor and love...
Also, in addition to being thankful for the coming birth of our human twins I have to say that I am thinking that our darling Safari Chic who is 82 days bred and has given us 5 doelings and 1 buckling in the past...LOOKS (!) to be carrying quads. I know, I know...you shouldn't count your "chickens"...but if this is triplets again, they are going to be big!! Here's to a "half and half"...we need two bucklings from her to meet deposits!! The girls can stay!!
Happy Thanksgiving and keep on dreaming and hoping, everyone!!

Nononono. You tell that Safari Chic to keep producing the doelings.

You may be right! Better to sacrifice a couple of deposits this year than to ruin all the years to come by encouraging bad habits!!

I am counting my blessings and trying not to worry overmuch with pending kidding season.
Dec 19 Pawnee- She is carrying well probable twins. 1st and 2nd fresh were twins.
Dec 27 Feline - She is larger then last year with 1 doeling so maybe twins 2nd fresh
Dec 28 Anuket - not sure going to do a pregnancy test on her looks chunky 1st FF
Jan 5 Nibbler - not sure same as anuket 1st FF
Jan 14 Pebbles- bit worried she is getting huge! This will be her 2nd freshing, first was a single doeling.
Haven't taken any deposits but have some very interested people.
