Ok...I give!

My goat, Jill, has been pregnant for a long time. I mean a really long time. In fact, I think it is approaching the longest pregnancy in the history of pregnant goats. Since a goat's gestation is about 5 months, that makes Jill approximately 7 months past her due date, a record in any book. I hate admitting that I missed all of the signs of pregnancy and mistook her swollen belly for a baby instead of her just being gosh darn fat. I was really looking forward to having a new kid around, (the animal kind, not the people kind!) but I don't think that is going to happen unless a real miracle should take place. Even my city slicker husband told me that it was impossible for it to take that long to have a baby goat, which should tell me something. I guess that something is I still have a thing or two to learn about goats! Oh well, there is always next year. Maybe I should start picking her new beau out now...
