Upcoming kidding season at sweet Horizon minis-kidding season is over 7/7 bucklings born

[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

Hey all this is my first kidding post so please bear with me and any advice as to what to post please do let me know also any guess as to how many each doe will have as the time gets by (just for fun)
I have 2 does due between January and March (were with the buck 8/14-10/14) moon pie and cami
I am pretty sure cami was bred the end of sept
Aameerah was bred on Halloween so we are hoping for kid(s) the end of march

This will be moon pie's second freshening (had twins ff) vet confirmed
This will be Camis 3rd freshening (twins,trips)
Aameerah is a ff
Photos in this post were taken today 11/25/17
Cami and aameerah will be tested Dec 28th to see if they are bred
Moon pie is moonspotted
Cami is buckskin
Aameerah is a chocolate chamiosse
Will post more pics as the time goes by

Taken this morning 11/29.
Getting her used to having her udder handled daily (hoping it will help when I go to milk her) it is getting a "thicker" feel to it lately kind of "pudgy" feeling.: ) my other does haven't quite started an udder yet (one will be 3rd freshener other ff)

Aameerah is getting a tiny little pouch (not really noticable

That's great that she's getting used to having her udder handled! It should really help with milking. And it definitely it getting more "pudgy" in the pics! Now just the torturous waiting game!! the first time we ever had babies on our "farm" was with our first milk cow and she waited like 3 or 4 weeks after she started seeming like she was due any day to calve. We didn't really know when her due date was, and those weeks seemed like years!!
My just-for-fun guess is that Moon pie and Cami will both have twins.

That is what I am hoping for (as far as milking goes) boy do I know it, it will get to feeling really long in January (her first possible due date would be the 11th)
Moonpie is getting an ultrasound done Dec 28th so we will see what I can see (maybe take some pics of the ultrasound screen to post)
How far along do they have to be for me to be able to feel any kid(s) do you know?

Any just for fun guesses with aameerah as a ff?

I do understand about rumens and that she has always had a healthy one (since I have had her)

Bred on Halloween

I don't know about how soon you can feel the babies, I've only done cows and sheep. With the sheep, I never really could feel the babies at all, and with the cows it varied a lot. For example, with one cow, one pregnancy I could feel the baby moving ALL the time from about two thirds of the way onward (and it was a very active calf when it came out! ), and with her next calf I could not feel the baby until the very end of pregnancy even when I pushed her belly, and the calf was very sweet and calm when it came out! So even with the same cow it varies a lot! I would guess it would be the same with goats, I just don't know the exact time frame. Sorry!
As far as Aameerah, I guess I'll guess twins for her too!
I would love to see pics of the ultrasound if you can! Hope the time goes fast for you until these sweet baby goats start coming!!

That's odd about how with one pregnancy you were able to feel it and then next you weren't lol. It's ok I just wasn't sure if you might know, no harm in asking will definitely be posting photos of what I can
