Cloud has Kidded!

Cloud's teats lengthened out the last two weeks but she has had no other signs of imminent birth. Today she was a week overdue and although she hadn't bagged up her tail was looking a little crooked. I am not a patient person during possible life-or-death situations so I was getting in a pretty cranky mood with her and her timetable. When I went out to feed the animals and milk Chamomile I found a dry baby and a wet baby, both born within the last thirty minutes or so. How do they do that? I missed the whole thing but I don't care because all three are healthy and I didn't have to worry about pulling babies. One nice big buck white with black markings (classic alpine) and a little doe with a fawn color all over. She is the only doe any of us had this year and because of that she is pretty special. Anyone have any good names?
