Huybers Utopia - Nellie and Ladybug Due early to mid april

[Eagle]

Cassie it is always good to chat with you

any changes Amanda?

 

[weerunner]

Cassie, that's no friend, that's LB's daughter

Nope, nothing to report today, I'd post pics but if you just look at yesterdays you'll have the exact same pics. No progress made in udder land last night.

Oh well, another day closer. It's ok, it's been snowing on and off here for about 6 days, so babies can stay where they are nice and warm and dry for a week or so. It's alright with me.

Afternoon checks. I'm voting that Nellie may beat Ladybug yet. Still no udder to speak of but that woohoo is even looser than yesterday.



Ladybug's bellly is now wide and Low. I knew she'd go round again, for some reason she does that sometimes. Udder might be slightly bigger but looser due to it being afternoon.





and her udder



I love her look of utter digust in the front belly picture.

How are the girls? busy day on mare stare today, got to watch 2 full size horses foal, a goat have triplets and a donkey foal. Thanks cassie for showing me the link to the barn alarm monitor.

 

[weerunner]

The barn alarm monitor is brilliant isn't it. I often get to see a foaling when I have an urge and my girls are not willing to help me out.

The girls are the same as before. LB's udder is huge, Nellies is not. Both have loose vulvas, a bright pink but not red yet. Milk is not testing ready yet. So I wait. A long weekend baby would be lovely, but not in the cards for me I dont think.

5.15am and all is quiet - Nellie down sternal and LB standing at the back of her stall - another night passes!

 

[weerunner]

Because I have nothing more to show in udder land; I'm posting pics of Ladybug enjoying the sunshine today. What a glorious lazy day it was.

 

[Eagle]

Adorable

 

[weerunner]

HEy all, didn't update much on the weekend as things haven't been exactly moving at lightning speed. But here is where we are today.

Nellie at day 322,





and Ladybug at day 306

[cassie]

thats looking like a foaling udder to me!

 

[cassie]

Helly down sternal for the first time tonight... Ladybug has hardly moved at all this whole time...

 

[weerunner]

did anyone else see Nellie fall down to her knees. She was sleeping standing up and all the sudden her front legs gave way and she was on her knees with her hind end still standing up. Poor soul, it's time for this baby to make an appearance.

 

[Eagle]

oh poor little girl

I am a little distracted this morning as I have the kids home (rolling eyes) I hope she foals soon bless her.

 

[Gone_Riding]

Oh, my. I've never heard of that happening. I hope she's okay...

 

[weerunner]

Nellies belly has dropped! I put her in her stall last night and she was round as a balloon; this morning she barely looks preggers. Her tail has very little resistance, vulva has red streaks but not fully red yet. We are getting close with her. I'm thinking this week sometime I might get a Nellie Baby. She uddered up 2 days before foaling last year, so I'm not concerned about that at all. Nell is at day 324





Ladybug still has a huge udder but her milk is not ready, she's at day 307
