Lily's Foal Watch

[Eagle]

I can't wait for a morning update

 

[lilysmom]

Good morning ladies.....I was so sure I was going to have a foal thsi morning. But no foal.....Normally lily settles in her stall very easily for the night. Lastnight it was after midnight before she laid down. she walked the stall for awhile, then stood in a corner swifting her weight from one leg to another....walked some more and then finally laid down. Now I can say she didnt stay laid down long any of the times she laid lastnight. I dont think shes comfortable. This horse is a laying down horse to, so I watched her closely but nothing......so maybe tongiht.

when they stop laying down it is a clue that they bare getting close

 

[lilysmom]

I am really praying for tonight. She was so uncomfortable lastnight! Fingers crossed

 

[lilysmom]

I noticed earlier today her butt cheeks seem to have indentions go down them too.....maybe we are getting close.....just maybe

 

[AnnaC]

Maybe tonight??? Fingers crossed for you and Lily.

 

[Eagle]

Lily please have your baby on the Super moon

 

[lilysmom]

Anna and Renee I am praying with you guys. Fingers crossed. Im going to check her milk in a couple of hours. Her bag did go down some today (which was not what I wanted to see) but hopefully that wont mean anything...LOL

 

[lilysmom]

okay everyone I have progress i think LOL. I just went out to see what her milk looked like and oh my. It kind of looks a little yellow but it so very thick.....very very thick in fact when I syringed it up out of the collection cup to see the color and then pushed it back out it almost clumped out. Well anyone think any chance for tonight heres a picture of it in the cup

 

[lilysmom]

I was waiting on your response Diane. So you think I might have a chance

. It was thick the closest thing I can compare it to is honey. and was about the same color. She keeps whinnying at us everytime she sees us walk out the door. I have walked over to her and petted her scratched her...fed her...watered her and she is still whinnying at us LOL

Don't want to jinx anything...but I'm praying for a safe foaling for Lily & you!!

Can't wait to see what the morning brings

 

[lilysmom]

[Eagle]

Sending prayers for a safe and easy foaling

I can't wait for an update

 

[AnnaC]

Any news? Or maybe she's going to keep us waiting a bit longer!

 

[lilysmom]

LOL...sorry guys it was a uneventful night

She has close to a full bag this morning and I noticed another red smudge on the inside of her back leg. heres update pictures!

 

[lilysmom]

going to watch her close today to see if we have a chance for tonight

 

[lilysmom]

If i see that filly fairy shes not leaving with out a fight LOL

 

[lilysmom]

LOL I will hold her tight and tie her wings up until we figure out who needs her. Lily is at 345 today. I dont think this will ever end. I dont think tonight is the night. Her bag did go down some today but milk is still very thick kind of yellow and sticky. Ill update pictures here shortly

 

[lilysmom]
