I SOOoooo know what you mean!!!

Also:
We bought a goat with a huge belly, (not quite that bad though) she had triplets, but still looked like she could have had three more. She was always that way, wide load, makes people look. So, wonder what her natural non preg belly state will be???

She looks happier than I do, though-- how can something that big look that cheerful???

:bouncy: OK I am not going to let this thread die... until we get an update from JediMom;) Hope all is going well with the beautiful new doe.... she just looks way too happy to have any problems:eek:

myheaven 05/28/09 11:53 PM

whats the news?????? come on I can wait much longer here.

JediMom 05/29/09 05:37 AM

The news is: THERE IS NOTHING TO REPORT!! I'm sorry, folks. I am as anxious as anyone and so far, there is nothing. One positive note, though, she has bagged down a lot. Her bag is double what it was since last week. The weather seems to have hit a good pattern around here too. It will hopefully be soon. I am astounded it has been this long! I promise, you will be the first to know when she has them.

LaManchaPaul 05/29/09 05:49 AM

AW SHAW; YOU DON'T SAY!!!!!!

Well, she is true to the Doe Creed. All of HT has to be checking the thread every few minutes and Mom has gone almost completely crazy.

By now she must be immobile.

Best. Paul

You would think so, but no. She actually ran yesterday. Now, it wasn't real fast, but she did kick up some dust. That was a LOL moment too. :rotfl:

BlsdMama 05/29/09 09:08 AM

LOL, I keep checking and checking this thread. I'm voting for only three and she's going to surprise us with just plain 'ole triplets. :nana:

Sweet Goats 05/29/09 10:00 AM

Can you get us pictures of her now? Has she gotten much bigger? I say she has 5 babies in there. I can not wait to hear and see the babies.

myheaven 05/29/09 03:22 PM

I say just twins. just for the fact im huge and am only having 1 lol. that poor girl. I feel bad for her. let us know the second labor starts so we can get nothing done around our areas and just sit with our eyes glued to the computer waiting for an update lol.

Minelson 05/29/09 04:03 PM

Thanks for the update! I wish you would have gotten a picture of the the running episode..lol!!!!!!! :)

Ernie 05/29/09 04:12 PM

Wow! Just ... wow!

When she does have those babies, I think she's going to spurt them across the barnyard. Looks like "contents under pressure". Did you prop her up for that photo and she normally just lays on her back with feet feebly kicking in the air, or can she actually stand?

LOL She stands on her own. She does waddle, though.

After the "contents under pressure" comment, I think I will start wearing some sort of body armor outside. I would not want to be hit by a flying goat!! LOL :stars:

ShyAnne 05/29/09 09:11 PM

Can we see new pics!? I can not imagine how she must look by now!

JediMom 05/30/09 09:09 AM

I will try to get some taken later. It may be tomorrow before they are posted, though.

simplyflow 05/30/09 09:19 AM

Weebles wobble...

brody 05/30/09 07:35 PM

NO WAY is that goat still full of babies - it's been FOREVER since you posted ... ackkkkkkkkkk

get with the baby making goat mumma ;)

JediMom 05/31/09 07:16 AM

No pics yet, but I did move her from the goat yard into my backyard. She was just out there scratching the dirt. Do goats "nest" like that? I know dogs will scratch during labor, but I'm not sure about goats?

simplyflow 05/31/09 08:23 AM

Yes, I do believe they do...My girls always did that just before and some during labor...sounds like she's close!!! How exciting!

ann in tn 05/31/09 08:34 AM

You know - I don't own or know anything about goats - but I have been watching this thread it seems like forever. She looked like she was about to burst ages ago. Surely she cannot keep them in there much longer. Skin only stretches so far doesn't it.

I am really curious as to how many babies she has tucked in there - LOL.

Rockytopsis 05/31/09 08:44 AM

Yes they start "nesting" and some will become more "friendly" ( I had one to do this, would not let me touch her till a day or so before she went into labor, then she became glued to my side and talking to me.) They will look at their sides and make small sounds.

Looking forward to seeing the herd that she produces. She is a very pretty goat. Did I miss somewhere along the line of what she is bred too?

Minelson 05/31/09 09:24 AM

Some of them do start digging digging digging. Mine did. Plus she would press her head against the wall and keep getting up and down.

Did you use a crane or a forklift? :nana:
With my limited experiece, scratching the dirt is the sign of delivery, and like real soon. She wants you to check on her every two hours. Seriously, please watch her closely. Best. Paul
