Huybers Utopia - Nellie and Ladybug Due early to mid april

[AnnaC]

It was just her general behaviour, looking very restless, shooting out a few pieces of droppings plus having a long wee etc, all just before you were there (taking a milk sample???). But since then she has just been stuffing her face/grazing quietly, so all seems back to normal!!

Yes so I am off to hit the hay cos it is now 11.30 pm here and I need my beauty sleep

Good night Renee, dont rush to get up early, I'm sure she is up to nothing again tonight. Little begger. That udder is not full enough yet according to last years pic. I'll check her around 1100pm or so just to make sure all is the same.

Night Renee, sleep well. I'm off too as it is 10.30pm here and I have to go do 'late night' feeds/hay/stables for my boy and the two old girls before I hit the hay myself. I'm often awake and up in the middle of the night (wish I could manage a FULL night's sleep sometime LOL!) so will check back then even if I dont post.

Good luck Amanda!

Morning Amanda 7.00am and no baby

I can't wait for an update.

 

[Eagle]

Amanda have you left for work yet cos the cam is down.

 

[weerunner]

I waved to you Renee. Well udder looks a tiny bit fuller again. Milk still yellow, oily/sticky, not more than a few drops to be had though. Looks like off to work I go again. Guess she figures the weekend is an excellent time to foal. Or next week.... ARGH!!

Yesterday's udder



Today's udder

 

[Eagle]

I couldn't see you cos cam is down

 

[weerunner]

Darn, can you see it now?

 

[Eagle]

Nope

 

[weerunner]

I've downloaded the Adobe updates, restarted my computer. How about now. \

 

[Eagle]

sorry I was cleaning the bathroom

Afternoon update. Marcella udder is exactly the same as it was this morning, which I'm glad that it didn't go down in size. Milk is testing IN the foaling range for pH (85% chance) and in the nonfoaling (10% chance) for hardness. It is now a little opaque as well as sticky and oily but still can't get a lot expressed.

So maybe this weekend??? It's ok, patience is something I have learn to do when it comes to these mares. NO sense getting angry or disappointed. A lovely baby will arrives when IT WANTS to and not before.

and will be worth all the waiting and watching.

 

[Eagle]

Just when you give up all hope baby will pop out

I moved my computer desk this morning whilst I was cleaning, so guess who is sleeping in my bedroom tonight???

Great news, hopefully we are down to just hours waiting and not a couple days.
