Okay I have to join in....As I type I have a 10 pound 5 ounce baby girl goat born today!!!!!! and she's on my lap.
We had triplets born on Dec. 19 (milk goats that is) and they weighed 4 pounds to 5 pounds each so you can amazed how shocked I am at this one's size. She is already bigger than any of them!
I had to help mom with birth as the baby was coming out feet first....Oh my....Mom was so exhausted. I was so glad I decided to camp out with her for the day. I awoke this morning after having dreamed that this was a feet first birth. I'm so glad I did and I had the dream. Hubby poo pooed me and the dream, but I just parked myself in the barn with a book and the midwife supplies.....Sometimes I need to respond to my hunches and dreams.
She's the biggest baby we've ever had on this place. I'll have to get pictures of her up tonight ( don't worry they are not the birthing place pics). I cannot believe God gave me the strength and presence to help the mom cause I'm squeamish. I want to name her Joy, but am still trying to come up with other possibilities. I've already got a chicken named Miracle, so I'll have to find a new name.
I'll take any suggestions.....I would like her name to start with a J, as her mother's name is Jasmine.
Well baby's crying.....it's time for another bottle!
