Flooded Creek Farm Goat Cam. Weighed the babies...WOW!!!

[Mamaboid]

Well, here we are 2 days later and still no babies. Elsie is really sunken in the sides, the babies have dropped a lot in the last couple days. She is checking out her sides, stretching and in general acting very uncomfortable. Her ligs are really hard to feel now, and she has NO sense of humor about me finding them. She is starting to do the "goat stare". Hoping for this weekend...but still no signs of actual labor. Have a wonderful day all.

Poor girl. Hoping it happens soon for her.

Looking forward to hearing that healthy kids have arrived and Mom doing well. Now that would be a Wonderful Weekend.

Got my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Oh dear me. I am supposed to be outside tilling some chicken compost into the garden, and yet . . . and yet . . . I am here with my (cold) coffee, watching GOAT CAM. *sigh*

Do tell hubby thanks, though. I know how much fun it is hooking up stuff like that!

Does look like she's restless this morning!

Does look like she's restless this morning!

I know. I keep popping in but don't stay long. I don't want to jinx anything. Silly, but that's just me.

Come on ELSIE!

I was just down with Elsie, sat with her for about 1/2 hour. She stood with her head in my lap for a long time, just enjoying ear scratching and side rubbing. I don't see how she can go much longer, but with her being new to me, I am just not sure how she is going to progress. It is gorgeous out there today, it would be a WONDERFUL day to have kids......Are ya listening Elsie??

 

[Ms. Research]

How's Elsie? Popped in to see her. She still looks a bit restless.

She is still hanging in there, but I think it might be tonight or tomorrow morning. She has NO ligs at all, can touch my finger and thumb together. Very restless, and her back end is swollen and pushing out a bit. I just checked on her, and she wants NO part of me touching or even looking at her female parts, but she sure does want scratchies and hugs. I think I won't be setting hourly timers to check on her tonight, I think it might be a looooooooooong night of staring at the camera screen and running back and forth to the barn.

 

[Ms. Research]

Give Elsie a hug and scratch for me. Unfortunately the goat code demands long sleepless nights, staring at screens, listening to monitors, and running back and forth to the barn for caring goat owners.

Welcome to Goat Doe Hell. Hope it's exhausting but healthy kids on the ground by morning. And Elsie healthy and happy.

Well, Elsie still holding on to those kids. See her happily choosing morsels of hay. Had a nice scratch, more eating.

Come on Elsie, give up those kids.
