Holachicka's first kidding thread. FINALLY baby pics!

[Holachicka]

Ever get the feeling your goats are laughing at you? I swear whenever they say MA-A-A it's really HA-HA-A. They are all just playing mean tricks on me!

No Change in Emma, no more plug coming out, stretching, arching, yawning still. Today is her actual due date.

Honey on the other hand has been producing her mucous plug a lot. Today it's a pretty big glob, and her udder seems even fuller!

We're gonna be gone half the day at a birthday party and picking up more hay for my eating machines... I just hope that if she goes into labor while I'm gone, she has a smooth delivery and knows to clean the baby after!

Any babies yet? Going to storm here soon with up to 70 mile an hour winds. Also tornado going through.

Oh Man! You be careful and lock down tight! I don't know how I'd do living in tornado country... My husband and I laugh at our weather station and how they portray CA weather "STORM WATCH 2012! K-chow K-chow!! (lightning flashes) Tonight, we are going to have some serious weather out here folks! It's going to RAIN with a possiblilty of THUNDER!!!"

We always wonder what someone in tornado, hurricane and REAL storm areas would think!

We had lots of thunder and lightening with rain BUT no high winds or tornado's. I have not been through a tornado, YET, down here but have only lived here since 2006.
Hope you come home to some beautiful babies. Stay safe tonight. Deb
