Is this normal for a 2 day old goat kid?

My Nubian doe just gave birth to her first kid. I was not present at the birth. The doeling is now just under 2 days old. She is alert, nursing wonderfully, no scours, or cough. The only thing is this. When she walks, every few steps her back legs kind of lag behind. As if they were glued to the ground. Then to catch them up she hops them forward together, while not moving her front legs. Is this normal for a 2 day old kid? She is going to the vet Saturday for dis-budding, so I plan on asking him about it. But I am concerned.
