New Baby Goats!

Yesterday while we were at the market getting our food for the week one of our mama goats gave birth to 2 babies!  We have a boy and a girl and they are adorable.  The mom is having a hard time accepting her babies and we're not sure why.  We talked to the vet and he gave us some ideas on how to get the mama to be a good mama.  We thought we were going to have to milk the mama ourselves and bottle feed the goats, but it seems like she is doing better.  Plus, Jack tied the mama up so she can't leave her babies and that is working so far.  Layla named the baby goat Bella and Sierra is still debating on what to call the boy goat, but she has had some good suggestions.  The baby girl is black with some white and the boy is black, white, and brown.  Here are some pics:
