Nope, unfortunately I dont. So its a guessing game.
She's all laying down. And I swear that I am see kicking in her belly. Could that be possible?

If it was on her right side, it probably is the kid kicking. 
I love feeling for kids on our dairy girls. With my one doe (who has 4 & 5 kids per kidding), you can almost always see kids moving around when she dam is in late gestation. I've gotten quite good at finding kids.
The "rule of thumb" is that if you see kids kicking you are good for the night. Seems to hold true with the singles but for the does with large litters it's not.

Just posting my experience 
That's why I did " ".
Like I said, with out small little litters it seems to hold true. Big litters are a different story.
Again, just my experience.

And still nothing lol she's really soaking this up. Getting fatter. No change otherwise. Still nesting pretty hard. 
Christmas kids? I'd only be so lucky. And of course that'd be the worst timing ever lol when we are trying to visit family and hardly home.

They always shoot for the most inopportune time for you the owner... I guess it makes them feel more like the queen they aspire to be.

Overrun with beasties
When my Bonnie was ready to kid, she made a little dirt hole with her paws and slowly rolled around in it both births before the baby started coming. The second time she was all over the place. It took her about 45 minutes to deliver from when labor started. The baby was very healthy though, and today she is my Scout. Just telling my experience in case your doe decides to do the same. Unless she's already done it, how are things there?
