Long Night

Last night was a long night. Two of my goats ( both first timers ) was loosing their plug. They are both due mid Feb. so I figure its about time to do night time trips to the barn. Cinnamon is Lamacha/Alphine mix and she is a small built goat. Shirley is boar cross and very stocky built. This is also my first time with birthing goats and I am a ball of nerves. Just before dark I checked on the goats and noticed the stuff leaking and their back side swelling and I knew it was going to be a long night. I stayed up all night checking on them every hour with nothing happening. I layed down for a while today and when I got back up its like everything was normal with them except the puffy rears. I guess things are not ready but close. I hope it happens soon. Today is our 27th wedding anniversary and I was to tired to even think about doing anything but my sweet hubby said thats ok, the goats come first, he is so awesome.
