Is our goat pregnant?

We have one Nubian doe in our herd of Nigerian Dwarfs.  She is almost 2 years old now.  She spent over one month in November with our buck and appeared to be in heat when we put them together.  We left him with her, just to be sure that she was bred. 

Well, our Nigerians are obviously pregnant because they get so fat, and they always get the pregnancy "pooch",  but Buttercup looks no different at all.  We can't tell if she is pregnant or not.  She has not shown signs of having a cycle over the winter, but she shows no signs of pregnancy, either. 

Any ideas?  I hate to waste the money to have the vet come out and check her.  My son, Benjamin, had a brilliant idea...."Just get on the computer and punch in 'is my goat bred dot com'"!  That sure gave me a laugh!
