If she keeps this up you will have a baby very soon
I think the middle photo is an evening photo and the other two are in the morning. I am going to start taking photos every morning and evening now. I took pictures yesterday and they were no different from the day 306 picture.. so when I saw her udder this morning it was a surprise!
Good idea! I do that closer to the end as well when the most dramatic changes kick in. She's looking good!Yay!!

Dont forget her udder will be more full in the morning after she's been in at night, and less full at teatime, particularly if she's been out wandering in your big pasture - so morning and evening pictures would be great!

She is cruising now Megan
Laney only lost a little of her bag during her day out grazing today, less then I thought she would. She has been standing resting and now she is down sternal.
We went and got what we needed to almost finish the foaling kit. I only need a few more things.
Does everyone have foal blankets for their foals? I am trying to shop for one. There are dog blankets at the feed store that look like it will fit but I have to measure them again.
I am also going to look over the dates one last time to see if I figured her due date right. They told me she always goes early based on how they figure the dates out. If she keeps progressing like this I don't think we have as long as we thought we did!

Well Megan according to marestares time it is now nearly 7am and it has been a quiet night for Laney (looks very dark where you are for that time???)
She is making good progress and it certainly sounds as though she will foal sooner than her supposed due dates. This is getting really exciting now!

Thank you, Anna.
MORE progress this morning. Not only is her udder fuller but it is getting hard. I think her belly has changed shape a little as well.
This morning, she's on day 309

Yep, she's making some real progress. Won't be long now! How exciting!!!
Her udder is hard. She just kicked me when I felt to check them. She is definitely moody right now because she never has kicked me before.
How far in advance will their udder get hard?
Laney's isn't completely full but it has gotten bigger since this morning and is even harder. I am really wondering if she has even a few weeks now.
I am getting so nervous, ladies
There are so many mares on Mare Stare I don't think Laney is really being watched and with how she has progressed in the last few days I think she may foal without anyone watching and being able to warn me, especially if it is at night.

If it helps Megan I can just take on your mare and keep an eye. If I cant watch I will post but if you keep us posted on how you think she is progressing then it will keep us more clued in.
I would expect her udder to fill out and be more wide like you see LB's but as we all know these little ladies like to do their own thing.

I would really appreciate eyes on Laney just to keep watch
That would be great! Thank you! And thanks to all who have been checking in on her! I will be sure to keep updating her threads and will take pics morning and night because that really helps see where she is.
I really think she needs to fill her udder a good bit more but she is throwing me off with how her udder is so hard and she won't let me touch it now. Still can't believe she kicked me!

Don't worry Megan, there are plenty of us on here watching her plus there are loads of people on MS that don't post but watch. In chat at night we often get people coming and asking if someone can check a certain mare cos she looks to be foaling but they are not comfy phoning. I have phoned all round the world for people that have asked. So try not to panic, just sit back and enjoy the run up
Thank you, ladies
I am so glad I found you all through LB
She does still have the wide sides. I will try to get a picture tomorrow from behind and maybe in front.
She didn't kick when I checked her udder at her dinner time but she swished her tail and stomped in protest a bit. Still feels hard and didn't seem to lose much during the day. Her udder looks nothing like Ladybugs lol

It really is great to know that there are people who care keeping a close eye on your precious little lady. I for one cant wait to see her little bundle
Thank you, Karina! I can't wait to see this foal either!
There are some really great people on here for sure. I really appreciate all the help and advice I have gotten from everyone. I have learned SO MUCH! Not to mention all the laughs- these ladies are quite entertaining.

Megan remember that they are GIRLS and we can all be real stroppy one day and delightful the next
My Britt is a real mood swinger and will swish her tail like mad at me some days and then others she is all over me an affectionate
As Laney progresses you will look back and think "I can't believe I thought her bag was full a week ago "cos it will probably get much fuller. I make the same mistake each year getting excited about their bags and then they just go on and on and on
Odette isn't due for two months and I am already a nervous wreck
