Fergie is inside for the night.

She has a fairly restless day with lots of butt scratching and actually scratching her WHOLE body on the tree. Belly stomping, staring and biting and lots of pacing, tail in the air. Ofcourse, now that she is inside, shes calm and settled again :foottap:

She is much the same as last night. Hooha is very dark inside, dont know if its from all the rubbing, or if its getting ready...

So, here we go for another night lol
 
Nope, still no baby. But i didnt really expect it with how calm she was.

She didnt lay down flat at all though, to set off the alarm.

Her pH has dropped again this morning, to somewhere between 7.2 and 6.8 - its not quite either. So we're getting closer!
 
I think we're in business!

Fergie has been very agitated all day today, butt rubbing, pacing, kicking and biting at her belly HEAPS, tail up and swishing etc etc.

Her milk is WHITE and THICK and pH dropped to 6.8 and she has a tiny bit of wax on her teats. Hoohar very puffy and relaxed.

Hopefully we'll have a baby tonight!

I missed it and now the foal is hiding. Is it a filly or a colt?

Edit:

OMG it is adorable, double congrats

Its a colt! Chestnut sabino - blaze and one back stocking.

He's been a slow starter, kept doing the "floppy foal" thing to me when i tried to dry him. Scary. But hes up now, pooped and had a little tiny drink, not enough to make me happy. But they're snoozing now, so ill wait til they've had a rest and go see if he can get a good drink before i leave them to it.

Its a real chilly night here tonight. Little guy was shaking and freezing, so he has a little coat on to keep him warm.
 
Awww.. i was getting ready for church and missed it! Congrats on the new baby..pics soon i hope!
 
Well with some help he found the milk bar and latched on for a few mins. Hopefully he can find it himself next time.

Seems it has given him an instant burst of energy
