8:30 am - Her udder was fuller than last night check. I think if it goes accordingly, she will give birth tonight or tomorrow morning.
1:30 pm - checked her udder again. Her udder was fuller and she has more significant dimples around tail and sides. I notices mild contractions (large pupils & stranding still) Decided to bring her to the kidding pen #2. She immediately started eating grains and leaves.
4 pm: She has been experiencing contractions often (Almost every 2 minutes?) Carrying lower. Between the contractions, she is alert and looking around. Nibbling hay etc.
5:45 pm - Decided to go in to see where she is in the labor. The cervix is still not completely open but bigger than 2 fingers size.
10:50 pm - still having the same type of contractions. Carrying very low. Still no goo.
01/01/2021
5:30 am - Went inside but nothing has changed even though it should have been changed. I am hoping that going inside helped her to move forward. She has been digging constantly. Grinding her teeth.
8:50 am - She started having a little milk leak on her right teats because it is full.
9:50 am - Still not moving forward. I took her for a walk. made her run. wheelborrowed her a couple of times. Let her be with her friends.
10:20 am - Run back to the kidding pen and did another wheelborrow. Checked her cervix. Still tight with 4 fingers and only bubble the other side of the cervix.
11:30 am - Put her on the milking stand and milked her some. She ate some grains. I also bumped her from behind to encourage to move babies' position. With this size of udder, we really suspect her to have more than 1 especially having some baby positioning issue.
12:30 am - I was going to send her back to ladies during the lunch time. I saw her light goo coming out for the first time. Decided to go inside. The cervix is a little wider. I was able to put a whole hand and check the other side of the cervix. There is a bubble on the right lower side but I could not feel any babies yet.
sent her out with her friends during the lunch time. then brought back again. She was alone hiding in the loafing shed looking miserable. having white long goo.
3 pm - She laid down and first push then stopped. Went inside and cervix is open. Bubble is right behind the cervix.
3:40 pm - She started pushing often but nothing was coming out.
3:50 pm - We decided to go in and help to reposition the baby #1 and bring out. The baby was inverted position (Upside down) in the sac.
We turn the baby around into the correct position. Forte was already exhausted from the long contractions. We "push" calls, she followed the pushing.
3:55 pm - A doeling 7.5 Lb, blue eyes, wattles, moonspots.
4:40 pm - A buckling 8.5 Lb, blue eyes, wattles, moonspots. His shoulders got stuck before coming out.

Forte kidded in the goat pen during the night. By the time when we went to check on her in the morning, the baby was already completely dry and nursing well. The night before going to bed, she was not ready to kid yet and her udder was not filling up.
