Going Crazy

I want to start by saying we will be pulling blood for CAE/Pregnancy tests in the fall.

We bought this doe bred. Today would be day 154 according to the breeder (who I trust with the breeding date). A few times I've thought she as contracting and that I've even felt a kid in there, but now I'm second guessing myself.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Ah she looks just like my first Saanen. She was so fat we wondered if she really was pregnant. She had twins but was still really fat. That goat was just like a dog to me. She would put herself between me and a stranger with her head down ready to head butt. I loved her.

Looks like the kids have moved down but she still doesn't look like she has any udder at all yet. They do know how to make us crazy for sure!
Maybe she's one of those does' that bags up at the last minute!

Nope. Not yet. Maybe not soon.

Udder needs to fill out. Hooha needs to get puffy. Amber goo still not present.

(I don't do ligaments.)

She's flagging her tail, I'm starting to wonder if she aborted. If at first you don't breed, let the bucks try try again.

Indy, she looks like the kids have just moved down. You get that hollow as your doe has sometimes as much as a week before kidding. My Brie just kidded, and she started bagging up two weeks ago. Mardi is due any day now, and she hasn't bagged up *at all*. Yet my FF Alpine is bagging up and she doesn't even look pregnant to me. (AND I have no idea who the Daddy is, some of that magical flying sperm for her, as I wasn't going to breed her.)

I'd expect kids in the next few days if she is getting those hollows. Check the weather for when the next drop in barometric pressure is due to happen.
