No kids yet. But she's acting funny today, walking ten feet, stopping for a few minutes with her tail straight out, then take a few steps, then stop....plus my daughters cat just had kittens and the weather is 60° today, so maybe today is the day

No big change with Trouble, except she's laying on the floor breathing heavy through her nostrils. No discharge. No changes that I haven't reported....except she's laying her head on her belly, and whipping her tail frantically, and every time she burps up cud, she just swallows it...she doesn't even chew it....
Are we getting close??
I dare not think it possible:banghead:

That could mean business! Hope you've got a good supply of towels, she looks big! Dang, I was about to go to bed! Now I've got to stay up, curiosity has got the cat.

Lol...she's been playing me for a fool now for over a week though. Still laying down, still breathing hard...but her business end has no goop, no mucous, nothing. She's had it for a week straight, now today...blugh. However it is opened....:what:
I'm so confused and tired and stressed. And cold...lol...very cold. Praying for babies soon.

I'm going inside and have finally set up the baby monitor. Don't lose sleep on our account, she'll have you half mad too

I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse. Ginny didn't have any goo or mucus prior to getting very serious about pushing. Only goo was when the feet showed up. So I am not sure if that will help in your case or make you go more batty . Something my mom always told me was "they can't stay pregnant forever" so there is an end in sight. Hang in there Miranda!

Lets talk baby names, (I'm sure my persistent updating is driving you all crazy) I'm usually such a relaxed and carefree person. Lol

So, since my goat is back to doing absolutely nothing...lets talk baby names. Last year was a "D" year for us. ----, Dito, Dorothy, Delbert, Daisy, and Dexter.
The year before that we had Cisco, Cadence, Carlee and Coal.

I don't know if this year I should go with"F" names or just change it up....

Ideas?
I love odd ball names like Ranger, Dare, River, Corral, Dallas, Stormy, Trace, Selah, etc....

Or there's the option of going with the "F" names idea......Francesca, (Franky), Flounder, Felicity, Favor, Fannah, Fern, Feyah, Fancy, Fay, Finny, Foxy, France, Frost, Freedom, Flip, Farrah etc....

Or we even tried to think up ideas like candy, or colors in different languages, or flowers.

Orchid, Calendula (Callie), Rosey....

Help me out with this ;-) lets kill some time. Add some ideas too




Even thought we could go with names like the mom, Trouble.... Her kids could be, Chaos, Danger, Drama...lol

Isn't this an "E" year? Or does E get skipped. I've been trying to think of E names for mine.

First mistake: Naming her Trouble.

It'll happen. No one - animal or human - was ever pregnant forever.

I heard on Discovery Channel like 6 years ago that some person stayed pregnant for 50 years. Supposedly it's true - LOL. Hopefully Trouble won't follow her lead.

But... seriously, she will pop at some point. Think of it like a balloon... at some point it deflates... lol!

I waited until Day 156 for my Nigerian to pop out a single buckling with his elbows back. yay. I almost stuck my whole arm up there just to pull out some magical hidden doeling. My two other goats missed so I'm not getting any babies this year. I've never had a girl anything walk in my barn (besides myself, of course, lol)... meaning no goat (or sheep for that matter) has ever had a girl here. And just my luck... my two does don't get pregnant so I'm missing out on the doe year.... GRRRRR

It could be worse, lol!
