Well, it finally happened...our long awaited baby goats have arrived!! I do have these out of order though. We ended up with two sets of twin boys (imagine that:)...
The first pictures are of the two born saturday the 26th and the next pics are the two born thursday the 24th...
This little guy is just adorable...nicely marked! These two were the saturday deliveries and this was really cool because we were there to witness it!! Taylor actually helped me and thought it was pretty cool. She is the one responsible for these photos because I was a little busy and my hand were just a little messy!!:)
The black and white one was the first one born and this next pictue was the second one...who had a little trouble making his way into the world. 
About 15 minutes after the first one was born I kind of figured we were only getting one this time. We were busy taking care of the first one when I noticed another "sac" which I kind of figured was the afterbirth, but when I got to looking I noticed there was a foot in the sac! Another minute or two later the sac broke and there was just the one hoof coming out...not a good sign. You should see two hooves and a nose. I knew I was going to have to check and see if this was a back foot (I've been reading up on complicatons!!) So I tried to check but still wasnt sure what I was feeling. I got my vet on the phone and he talked me through it for the next 10 minutes or so. I finally was able to feel the head because I actually had stuck my finger in his mouth and could feel teeth! That was a relief because I REALLY did not want to have to "turn him around"!! Next I found the other front leg and kind of helped it along and within seconds he was out!!
Oh, I forgot to mention that Eric had the guy he works with and his wife along with a customer and his family out to the house to check out some plants and they of course wanted to check out the new babies we had just had on thursday. So while I am showing them the babies from our first goat I was telling them that I thought the other girl would probably have hers before the day was over. A few minutes later she laid down and started pushing! So, through this whole process above...I had an audience! They thought it was really neat that they had timed their visit just perfect!
Here is a pic of the second one after he was all dry...he is probably about 5-6 hours old here. He is marked pretty close to momma and the other one that's black/white is just like daddy!
Is he just the cutest thing!!
I got these photos out of order also!!! Not doing so great with this post! This is the set born first and in this picture of course they are a little older...but I think only about 1 day or less!!
This one has a story to go with it too...I had checked on Zinnie (momma) that morning when I fed and I thought maybe she was getting close, but with first timers (just like humans) it can take a little longer. This was a thursday which is my bible study morning. I decided to go ahead and go but then skip going to lunch with everyone so I could come back and check on her. I left home at 1015 and checked on her again before I left...her and Dahlia were both laying in their shed so I didnt think anything would happen for a couple hours at least. This particular day Eric had his two mexican guys working at the house (which they normally dont) and he had asked them to go over to the goat area and move one of the houses so we could get ready for the babies to arrive. Eric called me a little after 11 during bible study and says the mexicans called him and said their are baby goats!! I kind of freaked out because I really wanted to be there! I raced home to find these two walking around and already dried off!! Zinnie sure does work fast...we will definately remember that next time!!:)
Hope you enjoyed our new baby photos! We are all pretty excited about them. We will wean them at 3 months old and then they will find new homes. Except maybe the black/white one...Taylor is getting attached!!
