24 Days to go what should I look for??

Ok, I have a 3 erd kidded due on March 30 (she is 4 years old) I am some what readly, I have a box and bottles readly so that they get the 1 week in the house. (hope for girls! I had twin bucks in and the carpet was so dirty and full of pee. A lot easier to see a doe getting readly, then a buck that lets it go! ) Should I look for any-thing? she has had her birth haircut (trim tail,udder, and back of legs) it helps keep her clean. Im gone at school so Mom only looks in on them 2 or 3 times. I still need to tell her the 10 or so steps.
(oh yea Should I dip their cords? I diddn't with the boys in the house and these are to live in the house) :baby04:
Mom is going to kill me!

To bad, All of the family are out of dipers! I thought if it, but well the carpet is old and mom said that to! Any signs? I read that if you feed alot of hay at night that won't kid then?

Please tell me you aren't letting goats pee in your house. Use dog crates or something. The carpet might be old but seriously, you live there don't you? Glad your goats are doing well.

No!!! They are in our Garage now. I bring them in for a week so they get a good start! And the pen they sleep in has stuff in it so the pee is sucked up! and we watch them and put a pail under them! (yea I know!) But it works. But we wash the carpet every time we have kids in!

Oh, so sometimes they have accidents, like a dog. Sorry, I had this horrible image of goats running around the house peeing everywhere....ewwwww. I know someone who does that....bring llamas in the house, baby chickens in the bathtub....totally sick. Glad everything is going well for you. Take care!!
