I was feeling the same way about Charm (hanging in there, no progress, is she EVER going to have this baby?) and then when I checked her udder tonight her nipples are filling. So hang in there...you are keeping a good eye on Jewel so you will probably know when she is ramping up for the big...

Looking closer tonight...what do you guys think? Of course, this weekend is forecast to be the worst weather of the month--mud/drizzle now and possible snow tonight/tomorrow. These girls pick the best times, LOL!

I have a Kitchen Craft "waterless" set and a few Tramontina tri-ply pieces to fill in the gaps. I love them both, and the Tramontina line is actually pretty inexpensive for its quality. The waterless feature of the Kitchen Craft is handy on occasion (it makes great vegetables), but for most...

My biggies are 1) hormones and 2) exhaustion. Overall, I do pretty well 3 weeks out of the month unless I do not get enough rest (see #2), but when week #4 rolls around, watch out... My mom also sometimes tries to push food on me when I'm not hungry, or encourages me to eat [junk] food I...

Sara, not sure about you but my worst diet days are the ones when I am sleep deprived--I turn into a junk-food Hoover! I just saw something on the news recently that people who are sleep deprived expend, on average, 5% more calories during the day than they normally would, but consume (again...

Sounds like Jewel is settling in nicely. She is such a pretty girl! They say that slow and steady wins the race, but it can sure drive you crazy checking...and waiting...and checking some more! But it will all be worth it!!

'Slow and steady' seems to be just Charm's style Not only did she hold on while I had to be away last week (WHEW!), but she is still hanging in there and IMO not looking ready just yet. She is eating ravenously and her poos have been a bit softer, but she seems her normal happy self...

Here are today's pictures She has me a little nervous...looking a little more "relaxed" behind to me. What do you think?

You can do it Sara! At least you recognize that your hubby wasn't trying to be hurtful--hopefully that helps at least a little. I have a terrible case of foot-in-mouth disease so I have make a conscious effort to avoid phrasing things in such a way that they might be hurtful, and sometimes I...

I like HIIT because it's basically supposed to feel like a heart attack And it doesn't take a lot of time to do, just 15-45 minutes instead of hours at the gym. I wouldn't want to do HIIT at a gym or in front of anyone but my hubby because I huff and puff and grunt like I'm dying, LOL. I am...

I got Chef Tap from Amazon...I have it on my Kindle Fire. I guess they don't have an Apple version...bummer! My parents gave us a set of Kitchen Craft stainless "waterless" cookware as a wedding gift, and I LOVE it, but in all honesty I like my less-expensive "regular" stainless pots almost...

Hi ladies (and gents if you're here, sorry I didn't see you)...I just stumbled into this forum and thought I'd say hello! My hubby and I are hoping to shed a few pounds/inches as well. We just started the BeachBody/Shaun T "Insanity" workout program a few days ago. I have been doing HIIT...

Great tips Jill! Here's a few more off the top of my head: If you're only cooking for 1 or 2: pretty much anything that is usually oven-baked can be cooked in a toaster oven, assuming that it fits. Just subtract 25-50 degrees from the cooking temperature and check on it a little earlier than...

Congratulations!!! That is a lovely story, I'm sure you two will cherish it in the years to come!

I would not want that! In fact, now I am actually hoping that she will hold on another week, as I will have to be gone a few days for work! She will have my hubby and our neighbors watching her, and he'll be sending me pictures so I can help keep an eye on her progress. And of course he...

Thanks Renee! It was between 108 and 115 degrees the week we put the stalls in...my hubby thought I was trying to kill him! Charm's digs were actually intended for a big horse but she can at least see over the front and side walls. I don't think Charm cared for it at first (she was on full...

They do like to keep us guessing...and waiting...and wondering! I'm excited to see the lovely baby Jewel is hiding

I took some more photos of Charm last night. After that one day of significant progress last week, she seems to have backed off again... She seems to be drinking quite a bit more water--and therefore urinating more--than a few weeks ago. Granted, it is a bit warmer now, but not a big...

Aww--sorry you missed the birth, but CONGRATULATIONS on your new filly!! Hopefully mom & baby are doing well. Looking forward to lots of baby pictures!!!!

This is a sobering and timely reminder as spring storm season is basically upon us. I bought a few small pet ID tags from Jeffers with my name and cell number engraved on them and added them to my horses' barn halters and my saddle and bridles. This was initially for trail riding preparedness...
