It's a girl! :)

Well I guess she was due soon after I was wondering and worrying if she was actually pregnant. I checked on her around 2 pm went out and when I got back at 6:30 I heard a squeaky noise and found a tiny cute little girl.
Ariel had no problems and needed no help

I hate to give Jim a big head but... yes you were right

I am just happy I did not have to stick my hands up there. I did have the supplies ready except for the iodine. One feed store is out and the other does not carry it. I tied her cord with some dental floss. Can I use people iodine? Also one novice question. Are goats born with their true eye color or do they change like puppies and kittens do?
I know the rules and here are her pictures:

They're both beautiful, and congrats!! My kids are 5 months now and I'm getting the itch already lol. I'll be breeding later in the year this time around too.

You can use people iodine, yes. It will probably be 1%, but it's better than nothing.

her eyes will probably be the same color as momma's. They do change a bit, and slowly. She's a cutie! Congrats!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee! (That's the"cute" noise at our farm.)
She's adorable and that first photo is especially fantastic.
Congrats

AWWWWW. Dang, that was quick! LOL. Glad it went well. She looked really well structured in back to be able to handle it, so that's good for you. Big kid, too, looks like from your pix. Congratulations!

She is beautiful. Congratulations. All that stress and worrying was certainly worth it - and aren't you glad you let her go to term? I thnk she may grow up to look like her mom - beautiful coloring. I am so happy for you.

How adorable! Congrats on the doeling and I'm so glad Ariel did well. You should be proud that your "daughter" gave you such a beautiful "granddaughter"

Wow, she's adorable!! Have you named her yet?

Thanks all.
Yes we are happy she is here and that is all went well. Plus, I am glad I did not have to stare at her backside for a month.
Jim I would say she about 2 pounds, she squirms too much and makes the scale needle jump. No clue if that is good sized for a pygmy baby. Never had one born at my property before.
I am thinking of naming her Becca in honor of my step-father who passed away last year on 7-11.
