I have been watching this thread, but it seem every time I go to post I get interrupted


Babies are just around the corner!

Try not to stress to much right now. She will be okay


Well, seems like Pearce posted the same links I was going to post. Good info!

Get your coffee maker going, I bet its gonna be a long night!

I have a 3month old infant....every night is a long one! Lol!!! But thank you very much for the encouragement! I've been working all afternoon gutting the birthing stall (a private 18x18 stall in barn) fresh shaving and then re-installed the birthing pen for privacy and for safety of newborns.

Took our older monitor down and strung that up so i have video! So at least i wont be running down there for nothing! Woot!

Hoping for kiddies in the early a.m. or tomorrow!!! Then we get to come up with super cool names! Hahhaa

Okay so no babies as of yet ...having this video monitor sure makes things A LOT easier in the night! Less running down for false alarms!!!

I figured Shadow wouldn't go into labor in the a.m since that's when its loudest with chores and tractor and such. I checked her, ligs still gone, udder more full and she dropped significantly. When i left her, it looked like she was loosing her mucus plug!

I just put baby down for nap time, eating a quick bite, and am glued to this monitor. I'm thinking shes super close as shes has been up and down and now Bambi mama is standing guard anxiously waiting for her grandbabies! Weeeee!!!!

Might be hard to see, but this is my monitor with Bambi standing front and center on the outside of the birthing pen. Shadow is directly behind her laying down.

So exciting!!!!!!!!!


So now tell us, are you planning to retain any of the kids? Any orders to fill?

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

I couldn't resist...that and I couldn't see! So I ran down to check. I could see Shadow tummy moving! It looks like were getting into position! snapped a quick pic too. Mama standing by her is so sweet .

Thank you Whisperer! Yes, very exciting! Yes we do have a few people on the waiting list. And a few more interested since we did so well at the show 2 weeks ago!! (I still need to post that!) I am very sure we will be retaining kids. Although from just a mere 8 months ago, we are now up 10 more, AND have possibly up to 7 more being added to our herd, its so difficult to part with your favorite doe/bucks kids!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the goat life!!!!! <3

@Bucking Adoeable Fainters

You are overdue for an update...... we are waiting

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Sorry! Baby's first Holloween!
I just got in from sitting with Shadow for about 45min. She is in the early stages of labor. Doing her downward facing goat, to get babies into canal, getting her face on the bars and starring, then biting them. Boy oh boy do i know what thats like! Have my monitor on and watching closely. Gonna be a looooooong night! Actually kind of wondering if she'll hold off until i come down for breakfast around 5am. We'll see!!!

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Oh and did i mention its the first night its actually cool, raining and windy?! Of COURSE she would go into labor tonight! !!! Lol.
