Hi Girls! I just thought I would let you all know that Esther had 3 little ones!2 girls and a boy! It is very bitter sweet for me and Esther because one of them died. There was nothing I could do.   She wasn't breathing and we tried to do CPR but it didn't work. I am naming her either Hope or Faith because it seems to fit her so well. I will put her under a beautiful tree and plant flowers all around her. I think she would like that. But I feel so blessed to have had 5 whole months reading, singing and talking to her. I will never forget her.  She's right here in my heart. Anyway, just thought I would let you all know! I am going to keep the boy and girl! Marly, if your reading this could you send me an e-mail and I will send you pictures of them with their mom.
Hugs,
Channah

its ok. Just so hard when I tried to save her and I couldn't. I am naming her Faith.
The other 2 are healthy but really small ( This was Esthers very first time having 3 babies). I think they will make it just fine. God blessed me with 2 wonderful little girls and 1 beautiful boy! I am so blessed!
I will post pictures as soon as I can.
Hugs,
Channah

Dear sweet Channah, You are such a gentle and positive spirit! I am so sorry that little Faith died, I have been there and had nothing I could do to save little goats and lambs. It is so sad to be born just to die...I think it is one of the greatest sorrows.
I pray that the other two thrive under your loving care. Three is hard for a first birth in a doe sometimes.
I would love to see pictures when you can show them....any names yet for the little buck and doe?

Thanks so much everyone! Me and my mom buried her under one of my favorite trees and we will plant some very beautiful flowers around their for her. I don't think she was born just to die, I think their is a more deeper resone that someday I might come to understand. God never makes mistakes and I know he has little Faith with him even though she is an animal. :)
Annika, I am not brave at all. I have cried off and on all day long like a baby. She was the biggest of them all and looked soo healthy! But I do feel blessed. :)
I am thinking of naming them Elinor and Eli. :) Cute huh? I will post pictures soon. :)
Hugs,
Channah

Oh Channah, I am sorry about little Hope/Faith :( That's so sad....
On the other hand, I am happy for you that Esther finally had her babies. I pray perfect health for the two that survived and I hope you have all the fun in the world with them! Can't wait to see pics!

Channah, I am happy for you and sad at the same time. Poor little Faith, life is strange sometimes. I am so glad the other two are doing good, I can't wait to see the pictures...baby goats are the cutest!
