[cassie]

I sent a FB msg to Lexi to make sure everything was ok... and Summer is still holding out at 6.4

Heading to bed now Lexi, I hope to hear your good news and see your new precious little bundle when I wake in the morning

so excited to see this little one!

Ditto to what Cassie said.

 

[MyGoldenSunny]

Waiting! Do you have a foal yet Lexi?! : D

 

[Mousie96]

Any foal yet?! I can't stand waiting much longer you tell her that for me!! She is just the cutest little girl ever!

 

[lexischase]

She is completely miserable and still no foal... I feel her physical pain now LOL

 

[Never2Mini]

Poor mare...Hope foal arrives soon and is a nice easy delivery.

 

[Eagle]

I hope she foals soon cos I think you are losing it

 

[Gone_Riding]

Oh, I hope the silence is a GREAT THING!!!

Come on Summer, pop that baby out!

 

[crisco41]

waiting for baby news. Goodluck Summer

 

[lexischase]

I am losing it!

I am actually getting nervous, she has seemed ready for days now. All the rolling and staring at her tummy makes me think something is wrong. I cant believe with how uncomfortable she is that she hasnt foaled yet

 

[Eagle]

Calm down she is just fine, have you tested her milk again as it will drop to at least 6.2 on Foal-Time strips once she is ready to foal. Make sure you are being nice and quiet with your visits to her so she feels safe and most of all DO NOT fall asleep and leave her alone. Baby will be here soon so just a bit more patience. I will be around tonight if you need me for anything.

 

And I'm here in between: 863-990-3210 if you need me.

Yes, I fell asleep and she knew it lol. Oh, no cigarette breaks, and no potty breaks, and keep ur clothes on! I made THAT mistake too thinking I couldn't sleep fully clothed one more night, and my vet was the expert, we all said, no, not tonight. Whammy, she fooled us all lol.

I know it's easy for me to say now, but it's true, take a deep breath, relax, the aunties are there with you. It's such a relief when you are holding that little thing and trying to count all the hooves and holes, and spray the umbilical. I started crying, then couldn't see anything (did I say that?)

 

[countrymini]

You poor thing Lexi, hopefully you both get some relief soon.

 

[cassie]

I'm sure everything is fine Lexi, is she getting good excercies isn't she? everything is going to go fine. here for you if you need us!

 

[targetsmom]

Any updates??

 

[Gone_Riding]

 

[lexischase]

Sorry I haven't been able to update sooner. Can you believe there is no baby yet???

Renee my little chart doesnt have a 6.2 but GUESS WHAT!!! At 2 today I found white/clear wax on one teat and milk coming out of the other. She is now testing at what on my chart is the 6.0, maybe the slightest bit darker. But the color is yellow.

How long do we have now??? Hope that the foal arrives safely tonight or tomorrow!!!

Diane if I needed to call you what hours are alright to do so?

 

[AnnaC]

I think you will have a baby before morning!!

Please dont leave her side for ANY reason from now on!! It will help if you can arrange to have another person with you as well - just for the support and the company if for no other reason - plus they can go and fetch the coffee while you watch!

Good luck

for a safe smooth foaling.

 

[Eagle]

Sorry typo error on my part. I meant 6.0.

SHE CAN FOAL ANYTIME NOW

Do not leave her alone for more than 5 minutes from now on for any reason what so ever. Baby will be here by morning.

I will be here when it is your night time so just shout if you need me, I will poke you if you get tired. Take your chair and blanket out to her stall and set up camp. Where is she now and better still where are you? Can you read this from your phone? If not do you have hubby or a friend that can come here if you need anything?

Diane isn't home from work yet but I am pretty sure that I am safe in saying you can ring her anytime if there is a problem. If she isn't available you can ring me: 0039 345 3277700

Safe foaling
