April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[a mini dream come true]

No change in April so far today. Richard just left to go pix

Pick up his pickup in Ranger, so no one will be at the house.. I really doubt anyone will need to, but if April starts acting strange you can call 806-495-2175ext. 230

 

[a mini dream come true]

April is not very interested in her dinner tonight. I'm not too sure if that is a good sign or a bad one.Her milk test tonight was a 6.4 A lot light than it was last night,but is a yellow green with stress on the yellow. We'll see how it goes. She is showing more interest in her dinner now so who knows.

Went to New Deal this evening and checked on Vernica.

Now there is a natural momma. She already kicks back her leg so you can get to her udder. It was so cute. Her milk is like honey! Very thick and Sticky. The testshows more of a 7.8 than the 6 Quintin was telling me. Her udder has a long way to go if she is going to fill before she foals, Being a maiden, I'm really don't know what to think.

Delilah is????? She still has her partial udder, no milk and her belly. Not much change there. Hopefully we will get the pens finished this weekend and move the camera so we can watch both Delilah and April. Richard and Quintin are leary of moving Vernica now.

Hmmmmm, April. I think we are all just not going to watch you tonight. *wink wink*

Thank you Diane, We are suppose to divide the barn tomorrow. Richard and I (maybe depending on April) are going to get the panels and get it fixed up for them and then move the camera. The stalls will be 10x12 so they each will have plent of room to move. April's is a 8x8 and that is sorta small for Delilah and I know it would be for Vernica too. I'll see what I can do to convince Richard

Usually works.

:rofl

I like that Idea too. She is acting different tonight. already laid down twice and had a halfway roll. Of course now she is enjoying her dinner. Still not quite like she usally does. But then maybe I'm just analizing too much. Here we go with the foot stomp.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Threatening to leave her with Mirrie

:rofl Mirrie is a bigger worry wart than me.

:rofl She's had Vernica at a 6 for a week

 

[a mini dream come true]

Ok. I can do that.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Maybe she is wanting part of the billing on the thread? If she doesn't hurry up tho I may delete her off the billing.

 

[a mini dream come true]

We'll try it and see

Here's

it works.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Ok This is the fourth time April has laid down in an hour and a half. Maybe she's resting up for the big event

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Yes! She was waiting to be added to the heading! That's it! Make sure you let her know when you test her milk today.

3.40pm and April just gone outside - think the flies are bothering her, she was trying to get one off her back but couldn't reach, fat tummy was in the way LOL!! So she's probably gone out to have a roll to get rid of the itch!!

Come on April - you have double billing now, so just roll that baby out for us!!

 

[AnnaC]

Back in at 4pm but the flies/bugs are really tormenting her poor girl - think you are going to have to get out the fly spray Hazel! Is is warm and muggy where you are today? I dont remember her being this bothered before.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Sorry ladies, I'm been out working on the barn. We got all the stuff to finish it with. All the new mats are down.That was really a chore.

Thoses things are h-e-a-v-y

.This ol' woman can't lift like she used to.

. April is testing a 6.4 still, but her udder is tighter & fuller. Surely she can't hold out much longer. I let her out this morning for a long walk and more exercise. Flies, yes it was muggy for a little bit then the cooler air started moving in. It the flies start again tomorrow, I have the spray ready.

ok I'll give April top billing to see if that works. If it don't it's going to be no billing and thr hat pin

 

[AnnaC]

2.50am and all quiet. Any news of Delilah and Vernica?

 

[cassie]

Oh my goodness I'm gone for the whole weekend and come back expecting to see. Me foal... Or two and nothing!!!!! Goodness April!! Hurry up already! Hazel you poor thing! You must be exhausted

 

[a mini dream come true]

Good morning ladies. I am going to get updated pics of the girls today to post. Of course we know the book went out the window a long time ago. April's due date is May the 28th.

If she waits til then with all these signs I will be a total nutcase

. Delilah is ? days and Vernica is is ?

I'm just trying to get everything staight in my head again so forgive me for the rambelings.

. I think maybe I can make it out to the barn and start feeding and give pep talks and take pics.

Not moving too fast this morning.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks Diane, I needed that

.April is still testing 6.4 and here are updated pics

Not sure she can get much fuller than that.

And Hooha

Then side pic

Now Mis Delilah. She decided to take a roll this morning. It's been misting here this morning

and her udder

Silly girls

 

[AnnaC]

Goodness April simply cant wait much longer -- can she???? Although I do think her tummy could just swing that tiny bit further forward, still that could happen in hours.

I'm putting that hat pin in the post to you today just in case you need it!!

Miss Delilah has a little while to go yet I think, but then you never know! LOL!!

 

[Equuisize]

Hazel!!!!

I can't believe April's new photos!

If just once - I had signs like that - I'd believe there *really* was a foaling manual.

I think she's just being mean and torturing you now LOL

Make good use of Anna's hat pin and that baby will be on the floor in no time.

Come 'on girl - your Mom is waiting to see your baby! So are we!!!
