Race to the Finish

can I scream one more time ????


:GAAH:

 

:angry: I might just do that! :veryangry:

 

Sweet Pea takes the lead


So I go out this morning not expecting much of a difference.....wait whats that? Sweet Pea again making lots of noise, ok nothing to alarming. But I can't resist the urg to check her before I dish out food. So I quickly catch her (first she and I have to go around the hay feeder a couple times - it is like a ritual ) really? could it be? YES her ligaments are much softer! still can feel them but MUCH farther down. :wahoo:


So Ashely you were right. I checked her at midnight and her ligaments are firmly in place. This morning at 8:00 there was a distinct difference.

No discharge but that isn't abormal for my goats. very rarely do I see discharge before kidding.

 

tomorrow morning is fine.

I just dont' want her to kid this afternoon while i am at work. I have to work till 8:00 then I am babysitting till like 11:00

So I probably will bring the kids over with me after I pick them up from their activity and then check on her before putting them to bed. I of course will have my brother on kid watch while I am gone.

 

We are getting closer!

Left ligament is still where it was but the right is lower.

SP is talking a lot to me and wants me around.

She has a little amber colored mucus - seen in this picture

she doesn't want me to leave her! :shocked:

You would think she is my friendliest goat the way she is acting.

Still a small amount of amber discharge but not streaming.

Saw one contraction.

Came in to get a book and to update you all.

wireless doesn't reach to the goatshed.

 

a couple more small contractions.

Her left ligament is still down there but her right is harder to feel. But they are way down there.

I showed my brother how far down they were and he knows to check on her every half hour or more.

Right now Aspen and Destiny are together in the back pen. Misty, FLicka, Jasper and Mia are in the big pen that is half finnished and SP is in the front pen with the big shelter.

When i am out there she stays in the shelter but if I am not out there she paces from inside to outside constantly.

It would be nice if she held off till tomorrow morning but I am not so sure she will.

I have been only staying out there with her because she wants me there.

 

here she standing next to me as i read her a book -- yes I was reading out loud to her as she wants me to talk to her.

Poor thing I hate that i have to leave her
