Sounds like you and Gabby are doing fine! But you know what...it doesn't get any less exciting no matter how many times you go through it! I still run around like mad grabbing stuff and getting to the barn when it's time for the babies to come!
The increase in the size of the udder is pretty much unique to each doe. I've had some pygmys that didn't get any bigger than a softball and some that closely rivaled the Nubians! Sorry I can't help you there! Since you're keeping such a close watch on her, you'll probably notice when she starts to bag up.
I wish I could be a fly on the wall and watch you when you see the first kid born! You sound as nervous and excited as I was my first time! Good Luck!
