We've been on Petunia watch all day. She's been behaving very differently all day. The ligaments are still there but were noticeably softer by this evening. Her bag isn't looking overly full yet, but neither were our other goats' udders until they went into labor. (How does nearly two gallons of milk suddenly appear in less than ten minutes? Where the heck do they hide it??) I hope she kids tomorrow and doesn't go on like this for another four or five days like Lilly did last year. She nearly drove me crazy!
I'm nearly positive Pet's got two babies in there. I distinctly felt a bony little body on each side at the same time tonight, and surely one baby could not be that big! After the heartbreak with Nubbin I'm more than a bit anxious about Petunia. So far everything looks good, and I'm hoping for a smooth and easy delivery. I'm also hoping I get to be there for the blessed event!
Well, I guess it's time for my late night check!
