Sookie's Kidding thread update (2 bucklings with pics)

[Tmaxson]

Updated pics, I think we are getting closer. I'm hoping to see baby/ies in the next couple weeks. Do you think just one or more? This is only my second goat birth so I have really no idea, I just know she is a lot bigger than my other doe who only had 1.

The only update I have right now is that she is doing a lot of moaning. She'll be laying down eating her food and moaning at the same time. Poor thing is not comfortable. However thought you guys might like to see some more pictures, cause I know I love seeing pictures.

She is so pretty. I think she is going to have twins. Hope all goes well and soon for you. Should we be thinking pink?

Yes she is such a beautiful and sweet girl. At this point just hoping for healthy babies, after reading some of the horror stories. I just don't know how I would handle loosing a doe or her babies. I do however already have someone on a waiting list for a boy. If we have a girl, I want to keep her but we'll need to find a stud for her when she's ready to breed as the only intact buck I have is her father.

Well when I checked on her before leaving for work she didn't quite seem herself. My husband feeds them their grain in the morning before he leaves and she hadn't eaten any of hers. Although she was laying there chewing on some hay. She really doesn't like my other doe's little doeling especially when the little girl wants all my attention and so I knew something wasn't quite right when the little doeling was jumping all over me and soon to be mama didn't try to do anything about it. My son is home sick from school today so I'm going to have him check on her periodically, that is if he wakes up any time soon (teenagers, arrrg!!) She didn't seem to be in labor or any more uncomfortable than she has been and there was no discharge. Her vulva was very puffy as it usually is when she is laying down but when I felt of it (poor thing I keep molesting her) it felt like there was something hard kinda pressing just underneath the skin. Not sure if it always feels this way or I just noticed it this morning.

hopefully she will have the babies for you today !! ( and wait till your home to do it )

Hopefully, more for her sake, she just seems so uncomfortable. However my son says there is nothing to report at this time. She's probably just tricking me.

She did an awesome job of making me think it was going to happen yesterday, however still no babies.
