For all you kidding thread addicts:

[Livinwright Farm]

I really thought she was going to go last night around 1:30am. She was laying and doing a little roll which is what they do a lot of times when having contractions. So I watched her until 3am and apparently she was just trying to get comfy. Doesn't look like anything within these next few hours either.
I got my barn camera from www.thegoatstore.com Hubby bought a brand new color camera yesterday but can't quite get everything set up until he buys some other pieces. My black & white has sound so when I have the t.v. on that is also connected, I can hear everything going on. I guess the color one won't have any sound so maybe I'll be switching back & forth on cameras if he can get it all figured out. Would be nice to have color--although then you'd see my mismatched barn snowpants & jacket
I think she's been porking down enough hay lately so I'm not refilling that hay rack until later--she'll just have to chew on that cud for a while.

are her ligs gone yet, or mostly gone? I know if the light hits her back end just right, it looks like they have sunk quite a bit..

I wish she would kid today. Tonight is suppose to be -8 to -15 below F not counting the wind chill.

I had one goat who would chew her cud between every contraction and even try to grab another mouth full of hay while pushing. I wonder if Cinnamon will be that way--she sure loves to eat lol!
Not much of a change from last night. Her ligaments for the past 2 weeks seem to fade and come back. She's a very hard one to read compared to my other does. I think that udder could still fill up more still also. This past spring I could tell when every goat was ready to kid but miss Cinnamon is different.
For those who are wondering--her is a list of Cinnamon's previous kiddings:
6/24/08: single buckling; 5/11/09: twins 1 buck-1 doe; 3/17/10: triplets 2 bucks-1 doe; 2/8/11: twins 1 buck-1doe maybe she'll beat her record with quads this time around

Thanks for all the updates! And thanks for sharing this on camera. I am loving watching it and can't wait until my does are old enough to have kids! So exciting.

I saw that too, and I was up sitting next to the computer watching her twitch and roll. I kept getting up to check. I had my cell phone by the computer in case something started! She knows she's being watched... I think she just does the twitching thing to amuse herself. She's picking on all of us. You didn't tell her that we are watching her did you? WELL DID YOU?

I swear I didn't. I think she's smarter than we all think though...do you see every once in a while how she looks up and stares into the camera??

Yes! She is such a ham to the camera!

She's not staring, she's smirking and rolling her eyes.

She is certainly energetic eating that new hay. Poor girl, she was starving!

I just checked her again. Felt for ligaments and they were there so she's going to keep us waiting a while still. I really like day-time kiddings or early evening kiddings hint hint
