CLICK HERE to see a post about Starlight's kids, born 5-2-12. They are adorable!
I haven't written much about this first kidding season of ours, I know. It's just been so much more work than I thought!
There are two extra reasons why it's been difficult. I've been under the weather for this entire kidding season, and so has the rest of the family. I spent the first week or so caring for a coughing, feverish crew. I spent the second week coughing and feverish. The second reason it's been more challenging than it may have been is that Dan (hubby) badly sprained his foot falling off a ladder at work. He's been spending a lot of time on his back since his foot is mostly supposed to be elevated above his heart.
Oh, and there's a third reason! I've been trying to balance checking on goats during the night with getting enough sleep, since I am also waiting for a human baby to decide it's time to make an appearance. It's been hanging in the back of my mind this whole time causing some extra mental stress, but so far he or she is holding off on introducing him/herself. However, no mental stress over that now, since I'm ready and (other than coughing) can sleep all night! :)
Last night one of Dan's rabbits had nine bunnies, so he's pretty stoked too!
Next big challenge: disbudding babies for the first time. :(
