    Thank you all for your guesses! It was so much fun to have every one involved and take the time to read all of your amazingly kind comments in the middle of season! Our first place guess is @tammibaker with 7.92! And second place is @tracybarger7822. With 7.85lbs! There were so many close guesses but no ties! Super excited to get these fleeces cleaned and to you guys!🎉

    As I've learned from @SheepishlyMe ... that udder "bloom" means she's within a few days of delivering. And that spa treatment might make it easy to maneuver for the birth (not to mention a hot summer with a little one attached)!

Reminds me of when I was about 7 months pregnant with my 1st son.... we went to an airshow and I was standing right in front of a Harrier as it was lifting off... the vibrations were really strong and suddenly my son started kicking like crazy!! I showed Hubby and the people around me noticed and I ended up with a whole group of people laughing and watching as my stomach went bonkers!!! BTW---he turned out to be an awesome soccer player!!!

I have tried watching others but it seems to me how much that is wasted. Oh and i like when you talk over the editing. Stay safe and drink plenty of water . God Bless you and your partner.
