[cassie]

NAW!!! I KNEW you just had to have Mr Wags!! I am so glad you got him Diane! that is just so exciting!!

how is april tonight Hazel? can we see some new pics she is looking REALLY big!!! any more udder progress? getting close now!

 

[a mini dream come true]

I appoligize ladies. I had to go to New Deal and meet the farrier. We did hooves this evening and I took Daniela up there to get hers done too. Just got home a few minutes ago and am grabbing a bite before going to bed. Maybe.

April was good and waited for me. This evening her udder IS FULL.

I actually got a drop of milk. Clear, not sticky and testing 7.8 on the strip.

Udder pics taken but camera is in the car, I think. I will post them tomorrow. I kept telling everyone "I got milk"

:ThumbUp .

Delilah has decided to wait on the shopping

She has really got me guessing.

 

[cassie]

WOW yay! I thought April had to be getting close by the look of her tonight!! now its just the waiting game for that drop in pH!!! YAY another gorgeous foal before long!!! I am keeping a close eye on her for you

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thank you Cassie. She either needs to have this baby by Noon Thursday or wait til I get back from the show on Sunday. This is the nerve racking part. I don't have anyone to stay with her. Weeelll maybe I could talk s-n-l to be into staying down here Thursday night if the ph starts dropping.

Sorry ladies. I have to work in the morning so I better get some sleep. I'll check in in the morning.

just changed positions and standing quietly....

[cassie]

[a mini dream come true]

Ok I'm ready for a total melt down

. April has milk testing at 7 or 7.2. Vernica has milk

. I didn't have the test strips with me. April's udder is full. Vernica's has a way to go. Delilah is taking a breather from shopping and still upset with me about the move.

All the horses are clipped and ready to go to show. Will bathe when we get there. Dalton got knocked down by one of the big horses this evening and hurt his foot. Nothing is broken

except maybe his pride, thank goodness. Got a trailer to carry all the horses and new hitch setup on Hubby truck. I washing clothes and packing

inbetween watching and trying to load pics. OOPP! Camera is in car be right back.

 

[cassie]

ok wow!!! haha Hazel, slow down and take a breath... or 5!!!! lol when are you guys leaving for the show?? April looks really close to me and I wouldn't be leaving her... :s can't wait to see pics... breath in breath out breath in breath out! lol

 

[a mini dream come true]

We leave for the show tomorrow

.This show has been planned for months and all the entries have been paid, stalls reserved, hotel reserved. All the grandkiddos have been waiting for for this weekend

. Everything that has been going on has me a little frazzled

. Hubby and s-n-l to be had a wreak last Sunday morning with the trailer and got the axeles (sp) knocked out from under it

.

Thank goodness no one was hurt, but the trailer is out of commission. I've had about 10 hrs sleep in the last four days.

..Couldn't clip horses this last weekend because we had to go get Hubby and s-n-l to be plus work the last couple of days

.. It has been a crazy week.

Pics are loaded. Here is Miss Delilah yesterday

Shopping bag

And we have Miss April that's suppose to be due in May

and her shopping bag

I think they decided to conspire and switch dates or something.

 

[Eagle]

[cassie]

[MeganH]

wow sorry about your week! Hope you have a great time at the show!

 

[AnnaC]

Have a good time Hazel and GOOD LUCK - you deserve it after the week you have had. Do try to take the opportunity to relax a bit while you are away too.

Hopefully April will wait for you to get back - she does look pretty close, but if needed I'm sure s-i-l will manage perfectly.
