Thank y'all .We're excited to see where these girls take up. Next year will be mixed kids from them but I plan for some purebreds year after.

The new girls are already into a nice routine with my other girls and are learning who runs the roost. They want to be with me and are excited to see me .Haven't seen dogs chickens or ducks before but seem to be adjusting to the new surroundings nicely.

All is going well here. We are unseasonably cold right now but we are surviving. I have some photos of the new girls and one of baby Chess. Things have been so nice and easy with the new set up for the goats that I am actually enjoying winter chores with them not dreading them and just dealing. The chickens... well, we're still just dealing but hopefully we will get that all figured out for an easy chore time as well. A light and heated waterer is next on the list of to do's for them as well but it is very mild for chores for them compared to labor intensive not havng the heated bucket for the goats. Bucks go in with the does in JanuaryCan't wait. After a year of no milk and no babies I am ready for a year full of babies and milk

Thanks! It is definitely worth the investment for if you are selling animals in my opinion. I will be taking photos for a friend for newborn and family photos as well later this summer. And goats.... They are trouble but they are worth it in my opinion LOL.

Well, It's been over a month and the holidays are here! I am 21 weeks tomorrow and managed to evade getting admitted to the hospital by a hair last night. All day I had a headache, mild cramping and unbelievable thirst. It turned out I was dehydrated, Morning sickness is still a major issue for me, and my Blood pressure was slightly elevated most likely due to the major bladder infection they found me to have when I didn't feel anything. After taking the day off to keep my feet up and drink lots of fluids I am feeling much better and my fever broke.

You are half way there!

Hope you're feeling better and recovered soon! Remember you're caring for two now!

I am most certainly taking it easy and focusing on recovery now. Baby is first priority and a follow up appointment for tomorrow is scheduled.
