Thanks guys, it is 340 and I'm up. Had a very nice sleep. Fly still looks very unhappy. time for that girl to foal for goodness sakes. She's at day 326 today. Mind you poor old nell is at day 333 but her udder is not as big as Fly's.
Oh well Renee, it is the weekend now and I'm rather partial to weekend foalings, so it may all be for the best. All udders are firm and warm/hot. LB is the only one with enough milk to test and she is testing at 40% (up from 10% last night) so that is a little encouraging anyways.
It is raining today, so we are all staying indoors. I'm off to work. Last two days around 1pm the internet messed up, so dont be worried if that happens again. I'll be home around 2 and will reset it then if it does go off.
Thanks so much Cassie for that sleep. I feel like I'm able to handle today's work and maybe a foaling tonight if the girls want to oblige.
Opps, forgot to say thank you to Wings for your compliment on my new little guy. I said I would not be keeping any boys, but I gotta tell you; this one has me tempted. He has conformation and personality that shines through every time I look at him. Oh well, someone will get themselves a lovely show horse.
You are very welcome Amanda! glad I could help... I will try watch when I can tomorrow but being a weekend it's a little harder, will definitley let you know when I'm watching so you can get some sleep speak to you in the morning night
After work checks. Fly is acting extremely unhappy and uncomfortable. Her nipples are filled, but still the milk is not testing ready. But there is quite a bit of it and it is begining to be oily and sticky. Ladybug is just watching Fly like a hawk and is going to drop the minute Fly starts her contractions, you all just mark my words. It will happen.
Anyways, I think for sure a weekend baby is in order.
if you want to get some sleep Amanda just let me know... im in andout a bit today but i have to get some studying done at some stage
lol n the ironing pile is like a mountain so I'll let you know when I'm doing that so you can get some rest! I dnt know how you stay up like that every night for so long lol I would be dead! lol
sounds like both girls are definitley worth watching!!
Cassie, I would love to have you take any shift you like. Just let me know and I'll arrange to sleep then. I've got a sore throat, and I know the lack of sleep is catching up with me. And the road is long in front of me right now. I dont think the girls are going tonight; but you just can't ever tell for sure.
I have to go to the feed store n then I'll be back... It's too hot to do anything outside much... Will let you know when I get in so you can get some much needed sleep!!
Atotton, Her udder has reached the size it as the day before she foaled her last foal. She is close, I'm predicting tomorrow, but maybe she thinks tonight is a good night. I willl go do a check on her in a bit.
