I spent yesterday checking on her throughout the day. She mostly wanted to lay around but would get up if I started to rub her back. I did notice she was doing a lot of yawning and licking her lips. Most websites recommend checking the goats ligaments but I'll be honest I'm not sure what the heck I'm feeling for!
This morning I woke up hoping to find a baby goat but no luck. Ariel was being very aggressive to our other goat Oreo ( who is not bred). She also was aggressive about getting her food today. I'm trying to leave her alone but I admit it's hard! This will be Ariel's first time kidding and mine!
Let the waiting begin!

I remember the waiting game the first year we kidded. I had a copy of the Dairy goat book in hand and I kept telling my daughter ok the book says once you see this we could have 10 hours till pushing. (10 minutes later...Oh my word she is PUSHING! Flip a few pages... ok this stage could take up to 4 hours...5 minutes later her first kid was born. I put the book away, it was doing me no good LOL This will be our 3rd kidding season and I am still nervous. I don't think I will ever get used to it completely. Good luck with yours!
How exciting!! I hope everything turns out well. Looking forward to the news of the birth!
