    Aren't they beautiful! So glad Dolly realized "mom" does know best!

    Deborah I completely agree with you! Ive always disliked that term too. I haven't been present for a birth besides my kids since I watched kittens born as a child. Soooo all I had to go by was reading online and a couple books. Its all new to me and what better way to learn but hands on!!!  :) I have got to get to your place for a class, tour or just to meet you!  I have to say I am impressed !   Thanks!

    Well, you never heard that from me. :) I don't think I see that in even ten percent of does in labor. And I cringe when I hear people talk about "mucous plug!" People don't even have that. I used to be a childbirth educator in a previous life, and that term used to drive me crazy. Saying there is a plug makes it sound like there is this thing that's gotta come out before the baby, and it doesn't work like that. There is mucous in birth -- that's as much as I can say definitively. Sometimes you see it ahead of time, sometimes you don't. Generally a huge amount means something, but a small amount doesn't mean anything necessarily. No two births are alike.

    No, I thought I had read it was called streaming when they have a long stream of goo coming out while in labor and after that you have a little while before it progresses to pushing labor??  I had seen pics of it and was watching for this and mucus plug. Only Dolly showed the mucus plug and neither had the stream of stuff.  I had read and read and was watching for all these things and then most of them didnt even occur! LOL!

    Did you mean screaming? If so, yeah, first fresheners do a lot more screaming than experienced does. Poor things don't know what's going on!

    Everything was fine! And not exactly as I had read with the streaming and all.

    Oh I'm impatient too! And I wasn't sure they were prego till the last month. My girls had theirs at 147 and 148 days. I was a wreck during their labor too!! Just worried about how it would go. Everything was fine! And not exactly as I had read with the streaming and all. But as FF I assume that may be the difference. Now I am having so much fun with the first ones out running around and playing outside now. Little ones are still in with momma and will be out in the sunshine playin soon too! Then I get to figure out milking :) ! I will be looking forward to seeing your birth announcement!!!!!

    Congratulations!  Oh, this is so exciting.  I am thinking the next 2 months are going to be l-o-n-g for me.  This is almost as bad as waiting for my own babies.  Can you tell I'm not good at being patient? LOL
