Today we got everything ready for Spotz to have her baby. We FINALLY got the camera to work and have the heat lamp set up. We have our kidding kit filled and ready to go. She is starting to stretch every so often and her udder has gotten a little bit bigger as well. Hopefully she will kid on time as everyone ha that day off from work Lol, I can hope, right?!

How exciting that must be! Very cute doe and the udder is developing nicely!
The buck is a stunt! The resulting baby (babies) should be very nice
Did you try to feel her right side - listen for heart beats, how many babies she might have?

 

[jerebear7]

I have DEFINATELY felt a baby. It is extremely active! I listened for heartbeats, thought I heard 2 but not positive. She is due in about 10 days so hopefully she has twins! I wish a vet around here did ultrasound that would be helpful LOL!

So Spotz is getting closer to her due date, we really wanna know how many she will have. We have never had a goat pregnant before so we have nothing to compare to. So, how many do you all think she will have? She's due in a week.

She's pretty wide, I'd say has at least two in there, and maybe three.

Today, I FINALLY felt the ligaments on a goat, LOL, not as easy as the pictures make it look! I compared Spotz's ligaments to our neighbors goat who is 2 months from kidding, and it seems Spotz's ligaments are softening! Although, I have read that they can soften and harden back up a few times before the "loose" their ligaments. She is doing ALOT more stretching, and is starting to nip at her sides a lot more as well. She has also been lying down a lot more, and seems more uncomfortable when she walks (poor baby!) She is a week from her due date and we are pretty lucky to have a warm forecast for the upcoming week! So, with fingers crossed, she will kid on time! We are really hoping she has twins, but it's hard for us to tell :/. I am going to attempt to shave her a little better tonight, as we actually got clippers that work . I am starting to get really anxious for her baby, and really extremely nervous as well. Our vet around here doesn't do emergency or goats anymore, so we have called the owner of the buck and have her as our emergency contact, hopefully we won't need to call her. But it's comforting to know there will be someone who knows what to do if Spotz needs help. I have been doing research for about 6 months now, so I think we are officially ready! Bring on the baby, Spotz!
