It is nothing short of chaos here right now. 31 babies (maybe 3 more moms to deliver I think). They are here, then there, then over here, now back there π Every day one of the newer babies decides to follow mom out into the field, lay down and take a nap and get left. Then the humans have to go out into the field to play hide and seek. Good thing Guy is really good at it...he is the goat seeking champion π₯
Every night we play a new game called Goat Sort and Match. This is where you sort through all the babies and pair them up with the correct mom to make sure each mom has all her babies. If you do not succeed then you have to play at least one bounus round of Field Hide and Seek.
Then we have triplets who need supplemented cause poor mom can't keep up. So 2 to 3 bottles a day. And even though it has been a week of bottles the little boy still is being a drama king. πHe needs swaddled, milk just the right temp and we listen to Taylor Swift while he eats. Tried switching the artist up tonight and that was a hard pass from him.
Last night at 9pm Luna had a baby girl, at 1am Aster had triplets and we suffered our first baby loss since starting this in 2019. Only her little girl survived. Both boys were still born πβ€οΈβπ©Ή Then at 5pm Ursula had a little girl.
This life is hetic and tiresome but it also is just so healing. How can it not all be worth it when you cuddle all those little heathens in your arms and they fall asleep?!?!?! So if you see me loosing my s**t one minute then bottle feeding a swaddled goat whilst signing "Life of a Showgirl" just smile and wave.πΆπ€πΌπ
