Wow! Congratulations on both little boys! Praise God for a healthy baby boy and little, but healthy buckling.
I have been really busy lately and had computer woes, on top of that, so this evening is the first I saw this. Praise God for a healthy baby boy and a healthy buckling. Jeez they both took their own sweet time!
My daughter was a week late and it seemed like an eternity. She was 8lb 6 oz., 21". My son was a week early and was 8 lb 2 oz., 20". I was sure glad he didn't go a week over! I expected big babies, though. I was 8lb 6oz and 24" long. Talk about a long skinny baby!
Good on you, for holding out for a natural birth!
I did the same thing. It really is better for baby in the long run. Although sometimes it is the better part of valor, to let the doctor help things along.
Interesting thing. Your doe looks a lot like my Falina, from the neck back. Here she is pre-pregnancy, last November. Sadly, I recently cleaned out my phone's photo album, to clear out my phone memory. So, I don't have any udder shots of Falina?
Anyway, then I saw the shot of your girl's pretty face . . . Oh, and she has ears!!!
My Falina is a LaMancha'.
She has little, tiny ears!
Falina was a first freshener last year. She also had a single buckling. I'm hoping and praying for twin doelings in April.
Her buckling had more of the "Roman nose" of the Nubian. So, I asked the breeder, that I got her from, about that, and she said there is some Nubian in Falina's background.
