LOL I've never actually had to trim her feet, so THAT's out the window.
Gretel feels distinctly different. I thought I felt ligaments initially, but I'm unsure. She's definitely 'different', and she's been VERY consistent. She also looks 'normal' right now. So she's thinned down quite a bit. When I was out a couple hours ago she was very "pointed" on the right side.

Hmmm...okay, bad hair cuts, then. That HAD to do it. 
I remember it being that way with my does last year. I was like this
the entire time. And, then, when they [finally] started to kid, I was like 
; surprised, pleasantly mind you, but just surprised like I couldn't believe it. LOL

Gretel hasn't laid down for about 6 hours (I've been filming them when I leave) and I just spent about an hour out there watching her closely. I can't find her ligaments at all -- it's not "mushy" like people say in articles I've read, but I cannot find them at all, haven't been able to for about 3 hours, even if I get her to stand in different positions.
She's spacy. She just stares off at some point in front of her for long periods of time.
She looks back at her stomach (left side, I don't know if that matters) for 10-15 seconds at a time, which I've never seen her do unless it's followed by a scratch.
She seems to stay in the same spot in the birthing kennel and tends to only walk backwards if she paces one way instead of turning around. She is clearly uncomfortable.
She looks a lot thinner than she has been, and the right side of her stomach is shaped funny ( I would assume babies getting in line?).
Her bag is so tight it has zero movement left in it.
I haven't seen her eat in a couple hours either from the film or while standing there. She approaches the feeder, sniffs it and stands here until she paces (by walking backwards slowly) to the other corner.
I'm thinking, 
hoping she's a couple hours out. I came in to post, grab a heater, some other gloves and kennel the dogs. I plan to spend the next few hours out there watching.
