Daisychick's First Kidding Thread!! PICS! It's a boy and a girl!!!!

[daisychick]

Update on the girls. Still waiting........Nothing new. I think Stella is catching up with Luna and could be due closer to Luna's due date of June 7th. I keep checking for "BOOM" on the udders and not seeing any big changes. I try my best to check ligaments and can't really tell any change on those either. I am hoping that when it gets close I will be able to finally learn what it feels like when they "lose their ligaments".

BYH got my husband checking ligaments, It cracks me up. He tells people about it all the time. At first I thought it was pretty reliable, but then I had a couple does that fooled me, so I am back to my old method of using several different things to be able to tell, udder boom, belly dropping, a posty walk, finding a place to nest, ect...... But checking ligaments is for sure one more tool to use.

Definitely only one tool in the box. But you'll definitely feel the difference when it happens and know what we're talking about.

I'm trying to look at all the signs too. I am hoping that FF still get a noticeable udder "BOOM". I swear Luna has dropped her belly a lot and I see her hip bones just sticking out. Her tail head is also different and her tail can't stick up like it used too, it is droopy. She is not nesting at all.

Just went to check the girls and I swear that Stella (who I didn't think would be due for another 3 weeks) is passing up Luna in the race to have kids first. She just looks miserable and her belly is dropped and her udder is passing up Luna's. This could get interesting in the final days. I might have 2 due the same exact time. It is hot here today and I feel for them. I refreshed their water with colder water and they are all in the shade laying around like beached whales.
