Well, that was exciting! Last night, I got all dolled up to go out and see some live music with my friends Suzy and Frank, their daughter Sierra, Erin and a couple other friends. Right before we left, I did one last barn check and had one moment of hesitation. Hannah was laying down in funny way with one leg kicked out in front of her. BUT, I was already dressed. And I was really excited about going out for the first time in eons. And Hannah probably wouldn’t have her baby, right?

More wrong I could not have been! We had no more gotten a beer and found our seats before we were inundated with phone calls from lambcam watchers letting me know that there feet hanging out of Hannah’s back end. By the time I’d gotten my car keys out of my bag there were two new member of the flock.

Suzy and I left everyone else at the concert and drove back to the farm at unsafe speeds to make sure the babies were dry and nursing from their mama. When we arrived, we found Hannah nuzzling a baby boy and itsy-bitsy baby girl. We had those babies dry and nursing in record time and made it back to Charlottesville in time for the second half of the show.

Me and the twins. The doeling is on the right and she is just as noisy as her mama!

Sierra greeting the newborns after the concert. My guess is that she was the only six-year-old in the U.S. that got to see a concert and meet newborn goats at 1 a.m. yesterday.

The buckling

We jacketed the babies to make sure they were warm enough. Doeling in pink, bucking in blue.

Both babies are healthy and strong with full bellies this morning.

Lauria, the winner of the goat naming vote, arrives Charlottesville this afternoon. The first order of business will be to name these little ones. The naming convention for the goats is Muppets.
