Just thought I would stop in and let you all know Gabby still hasn't had her babies.
I am getting very good at checking the tendons now.. I found them and can tell there is a slight softening from 2 day's ago.
Her Vulva is very swollen and seems to be relaxing slightly.
She will also let me check her udder for fullness. Not much change there yet. She has been gradually getting milk for the past 2 months.
Her udder right now is about the size of a softball maybe a bit bigger.When the udder swells just before birth.. on the average how big will it get?
This first time stuff is really hard.. I don't know what to expect.. I think that's alot tougher than having done this before..Gabby is a first timer too.. so I guess we will experience it together for the first time.
I'll let you guy's know when she goes into labor if I have time.
Or I'll let you know after the kidding is over and her babies are snuggling warm and safe with mamma.
I have backup in case of trouble and that makes me feel lots better. He's only 6 miles away thankfully.

Happy goating!
