Triplets!!!

KIDS! Finally!

For weeks I've been saying any day now, any day now and when does she have kids?? When I'm in the shower!

The past couple days Cupid has been acting strange-which is a actual sign of a goat going into labor. When Keith said she seemed even weirder first thing this morning, I was hoping today was the day! I ran out and checked her before I took a shower and she was just hanging out in the shade, as usual, no big deal. BUT when I got out of the shower I heard a goat bleating sound like no animal usually makes here at our house. I was positive that it was a sign of Cupid being in labor! I threw some clothes on, grabbed some towels and headed to the barn. This is what I was greeted with!



Could these two kids be any more freaking adorable!! I flew into action. I got Frannie and Snowy into a separate stall, even though they were being sweet to the kids, I wanted them out the way. Them ran on got our Labor and Delivery (or post Labor and Delivery!) stall ready. I put down more bedding, filled up the hay bag, brought in some goat chow, and filled up Mama's water with warm molasses water. I got them all into the stall the only way I could think to-I grabbed the kids and Cupid followed-boom, they're in their own private stall!





They seem content to hang out together, so I run inside to get my real camera, enough of this blurry iPhone picture crap! As soon as I'm back in the stall I hear Frannie and Snowy going crazy bleating outside and a tiny little bleating....what!?! Where is that coming from!

Damn! Cupid must have had her first kid out in the pasture and left it there!!! Sweet Frannie and Snowy were licking him and I ran out and grabbed him and brought him in with all of them. He is so much littler and was wet and covered with dirt! But none of that stopped him. He saw his Mama, found her teats, and got down to business! He is my favorite!



Obviously, every time I go out to the barn, the kids are cuter. They're finding their feet a little more, a little more curious. I forgot to tell you! It's two girls and a boy. The white ones are the girls and the black one is the boy. The girls names are Phoebe and Selene-although I haven't decided which is which yet! And the boy...I'm just not sure yet. I'm sure something will come to be-he seems really sweet so far!







I will now proceed to get nothing done today, but hang out with this new little family! Tons more pics to follow!!
