Today I feel like a mother in so many ways. I woke up this morning to Kyle pounding on the door to get me to come out and help him with our goats who are all seeming to have babies this week :) One of the nannies had twins yesterday morning out in the barn (Where it is very very cold right now. And as you would have it, whenever I am needed to stay at home with the goats I have to be somewhere else. When I got home in the afternoon I had a text from Ky not to park in the garage, so instantly I knew goats were in the garage...and of course my first thought is that these things are free range in the garage, which is where I keep my shoes (I text Ky "If they eat my shoes, you're buying me new ones!" But thankfully my husband is a little more intelligent than that and built these really neat little pins for the babies and their mommies. So we nursed those last night and got them back to health, only to have another nanny have babies early this morning. She gave birth to tripletts!!! Sadly one died at birth and two girls were left. I sat in the garage under the heater for about 2 hours holding her and trying to get her to nurse. My mother-in-law and father-in-law also helped me get the feeding tube down while Ky was at work, thanks a bunch you guys are awesome!!! But sadly Jane called me while I was gone and the one died :( But good news as they were checking that one, Ron went out to the barn and we had another mama delivering, and within the hour we had another one delivering!!! Kyle and I will be doing some check ups on the goats through the night and my awesome mother-in-law volunteered herself to do the 3 am check up, so we can make sure all of these babies are okay. I plan to take some pictures tonight when we go out, because these babies are absolutely adoreable, and Ill be sharing those soon!
Today I spent the day playing mommy for my cousin Tara's little boy Caden. With all of the time I've spend with Kylie and now the time with Caden I will be set for motherhood when Kyle and I decide to have little ones! Thought Id share a few pics of today.
Caden Lee :)
Caden thought he needed to share his treats with Abby :)
My cousin Jessica taught me to text!
Talking to my Papa!
Ky and I just came in to grab a quick bite for supper and are headed back out for a "nursing" visit...then back home for BED, which will feel wonderful after being out in the cold all day! I have had alot of fun playing mommy all day, and think when were ready for kiddos I will be pretty good at it, but after all of the birthing and whining I have seen today I dont think Ill be wanting to do any of that for a while! Night all :)
