PICS!!!!! My Juliet

[mydakota]

I don't think she is EVER going to kid. I think she is going to be pregnant forever. I have been doing night checks every 2 hours for almost the last week. She is loving every minute of it. She wants me to sit in the straw with her and cuddle. I just want to see those babies. (just kidding, I always love on her for a few minutes before I go back in) Sigh. Okay, whining is over.

Wow. Crickets.


Anyway, she is now 6 days past due. At what point does this begin to really concern you?

I hate getting crickets... :/

6 Days! Are you pulling your hair out? How do her ligaments feel? This is my first kidding season so I won't be much help other than to chase away those crickets!

How sure are you about her due date? Post some pictures of her udder so we can take a look for you.

Your due date is probably off. How did you calculate it and how long was she in with a buck?

 

[mydakota]

Well, the buck was only here for 6 days. I saw him complete the deed on day 2. That is the day I counted from and would have put her due on or about last Saturday. I guess I can't honestly say that I know she settled that day, or that he didn't breed her later and that she didn't settle then. I will go outside and try to get a shot of her from the back. She is VERY friendly and it is usually hard to get pics of anything but the tip of her nose, but I will try.

Thank you for chasing the crickets!! Pesky things!!

Are you calculating based on 145 days or 151 days. It can be either based on the goat.

 

[Holachicka]

Any time! Just wondering, what were the dates the buck was there?

I made a nice round number out of it and went with 150.

Here are some pics. They are probably not the best. She kept wanting to turn around on me and I just kind of had to snap fast.

Juliet's baby bump--which really does seem much more impressive in person

Juliets backside

Her udder feels firm, but not tight. This will be her second freshening.
