Well, just got home and saw cami having contractions by the water trough (of all places) checked her ligs and they are barely there if you apply pressure so into the kidding area she went :)

Thank you, she has lost her ligs about an hour ago, she is breathing differently than normal, she is yawning ALOT when she gets up (to nibble on some hay) she paws before laying back down, fingers crossed we have healthy kids soon (I know at least 1 is alive and kicking... literally since about 5 I've seen and felt them moving like crazy, they have calmed down the last 25 mins or so)

I sure hope so I am pretty sure she has dropped but I can not for the love of me find her ligs but I do know she is not insanely"squishy" I asked some people on here already if it's different(harder) on finer boned (smaller framed) does or not it's really hard to see in a pic, it's so different than moonpie, she still hadn't dropped when she lost her ligs and had the creamy mucous string and she had her kids 5 hours later.

We are supposed to have sort of nasty weather from 1am-10am tomorrow so maybe she will have them then (she does have a heat lamp

I haven’t had any trouble with checking ligs and since I check so frequently, it’s been easy for me to note changes. I do know that Diamond’s ligs came and went a few times before she actually kidded. She about drove me crazy but not near as bad as the one that had the csection. My instincts were telling me something major was wrong there.
