Finally!! We have a baby boy!! She had him at least an hour ago. I was at work and my bf missed it so not sure exactly when.
The "red sac" is still intact and she is grunting a bit and pawing at the ground. Is it normal for a second one to take this long? We checked her stomach and it still tight but I'm not sure what it should feel like if there's another one. Should I be worried?

Congratulations!!! The red sac may be the placenta, but @Goat Whisperer, @Sweetened, @babsbag, and others would probably be able to give you more info on this!

Afterbirth has passed, she still seems restless...

how is she acting with the new baby, accepting him, talking to him and letting him nurse? she is probably done but you can never say never with goats as you have now learned. give her a while to settle down and she will be fine, being a new mama is hard. contrats on the new baby even if it is a boy. cute isn't he...

Finally layed down. Maybe she is calming down. Still grunting a bit but not as much...
On another note, the flies are horrendous! I cleaned her off as best I could but they are still swarming her! Poor girl...

Oh yea, she is great with him. He was almost completely clean and already nursing by the time we found them.
She's up again pawing at the ground :/

. just give her some time. she may have a second kid in a second placenta. not totally normal but not unheard of either. do you have any horse fly spray, dog spray or the like. just spritz a little on her trying not to get it on her whowho or teats.

Congratulations on your new buckling!
Like @goatgurl said, your doe might still have one in a second placenta, I've read about that somewhere on BYH before.
