Lily Kidded!

Lily kidded this morning with twins! 

Last night I noticed that the ligaments above her tail were very soft and so the hammocks were

strung up in the barn and we camped out to keep an eye on her. Nothing happened that night, but this morning when I brought them all up on the milking stand one at a time to get their grain as usual I saw her ligaments had completely disappeared, exactly what Heather's did the morning Emmy Lou was born!
 We kept an eye on her all morning, hoping she would hurry and give birth in time for us to make it to a graduation party we planned on going to at 11:00. At around 9:40am she had some discharge and shortly after that appeared started a noisy labor. She yelled and grunted for about 15 minutes or more and we pet her and her sister and auntie Sheila came and checked on her and she finally gave birth to a 8.2lbs baby boy! We took him and wrapped him in a towel and waited for a bit and were just about to leave to bring the baby in the house, when we turned and looked at Lily and there was a second baby, a tiny 4lbs girl with wattles! We hadn't really expected her to have twins since this is her first time!

They are both doing well although the little girl takes some extra coxing to eat. She is getting strong though and has the sweetest little baby squeaky voice. We are calling her "Prim", short for "Winsome F's HKOH Evening Primrose".
Her big brother is going to just like his daddy. He is a sweet cuddle bug! :) We haven't named him yet.. thinking maybe "Winsome F's HKOH Prince Eclipse" or  "Winsome F's HKOH Princely".. Any ideas? He is for sale since I can't keep another buck. :(
