Great Expectations

My girls may not be pregnant much longer, so I took some "expecting" pictures this afternoon.

 Pregnant Emerald--this is her first baby.Pregnant Peridot--this is her second lamb.Pregnant Sparkles--those would be twins in that belly!Sparkles is a proven twin-er, and Emerald, her daughter, was a twin, so eventually I'm hoping to see twins from Emerald as well.

Peridot looks to be the smallest right now, but she also has a shorter wool staple length, so I don't think that's telling me much about who will go first. If they had been sheared, I'd have a better view of what's going on.

Sparkles and Peridot are starting to bag up (their udders are filling), but being seasoned moms, that's also not telling me much about when to expect babies. My guess is by the end of March we'll have all the lambs here. Maybe even this weekend, but I doubt it.
