The baby has dropped more down in the belly than from yesterday. Yesterday could feel it up farther but now it lower today. Her ligements arent' to loose yet ither.

This is all good, deep breath, everything progressing along as nature intended! I promise you that if you and your DH go to the store or eat dinner, or go to bed, you will be greeted with the sight of a baby, lol. And this is only from the experiences I read about here!!

You'll be fine & so will she. Can't wait to see the new baby pictures!
You didn't mention making sure she had some good hay, I would make sure she has plenty of nice hay too.

My doe did the same thing last week! She has a lot of goo hanging, and I was a bit anxious it may have been early labor. Turns out it stopped, and she is still pregnant, 140 days today!

Yep, this is when it gets crazy...It could be any moment, it could be next week. All you can do is be ready and keep checking on her. I hope she doesn't drag it out too long for you!

hee hee hee, sorry, but it is a little funny.
I didn't think it would happen yesterday because her bag didn't look too full. Ligaments are still there. Bet you have until the end of the week so be confident on going away.
(she says as the goat is grinning her evil grin....)

Joe wife here. Just a update on the little lady. She starting to baaaa more the goo had started again earlier but stopped but she is all the time now baaaing and if I go to leave she starts yelling for me.

I can you tell you one thing you sure can see that baby moving around like crazy. She used to stand with legs apart but now her hind legs at times are together.

pawing.... hey, hey! Is the camera ready?

You know that she plans to just fake you out completely; turn your head into mush and drive all of your HT friends bonkers. AND then when you go to the house and return five minutes later, there will be two babies on the ground and all dried off. THOSE nasty does will do that to you!

I am so excited for you guys!
