Geez, Dream's udder looks 'close!' Nipples pointing down. Is her udder tight yet? Do you think she might beat Ellie?

Dreams udder always seems to point down, I dont feel like it has "come down" enough yet compared to last year. She also waxed last year and foaled within the hour of starting to wax. Hoping she will show just as many signs this year as last. My 6pm foaling last year LOL!
If Ellie keeps filling like she is and gets serious I dont think Dream will beat her but if she slows down again I might have a few beat her LOL!
Miss Em also is getting a pretty good udder, I think mom is planning on bringing her in the barn tonight to put under cam.
Fun pics from today:
First one has Dream in it, she is the one on the right that looks a lot like she ate a watermelon too! The other pics are Reba and Morey, I think the tail in the air runs in the family LOL!

Great pictures! I love Dream!! Can't wait to see what she has!
I posted on Laurie's thread, but I want to let you know that I love the name you came up with ....... 'Smokin Hot Joker.' That name fits my colt perfectly! Of course, I would put 'PALS' in front of it.

Pam, Glad you like that name! I occasionally come up with something useable. I think I have decided on Maple Hollows Montes Regal In Red for Reba. It really was between that and Radiant N Red, I had lots of other great suggestions but those two just had a better ring to them when I imagined them being announced LOL!
Ellie is driving me INSANE!!! I am not used to having to wait this long for my foals as we rarely have any go over 335 days and all of my mares seem to be having longer than normal gestations! Ellie has been pretty restless but still doesnt have much of an udder, I guess I should be happy she is at least starting one as it shows that she is going to make one!
Just to keep you all happy, here is a candid picture of Monte from yesterday, I gave him the tough task of teaching the young boy some manners LOL!

Thanks, I just love Monte, although I love all of my boys, I just cant stop staring at all those spots
. Monte is already ready for spring to get here as he keeps talkin to all the ladies! He did already get his first mare though, an outside breeding to a gorgeous silver bay granddaughter of Rhotens Little Dandy, owned by CS Classic Acres! Pretty bad when we are already planning on 2013 when we dont even have all of our 2012 foals yet!!!
Remmy thought Monte was lots of fun and Monte just wanted him to go away LOL!!!

Well Ellie is especially testy tonight, she nipped at me when I checked her udder which she normally doesnt do and seemed a bit on the warm side. She has been fairly restless on and off the last couple days but then sleeps for hours LOL! Buttons is in the lead for largest udder so far, she is very full but still soft around her nipples. She got a HUGE and hard udder before foaling last year, keeping an eye on her but not quite ready to put her under cam yet since they have all been going up and down so much!

Ellie was restless and box walking but now at 2.15am she has settled down

Well just a quick update before bed! I brought Freckles home tonight!!! I was so happy to have my girl home, she has been at my parents since the storm since it was closer for the farrier and vet! She is walking great with a shoe on but still rocks back too much without it. She may end up always having to have it but time will tell, all I know is she looks tons better, she is also starting to bag so expect her to foal in a couple weeks at latest!
Ellie's udder feels like it is finally starting to "loosen" and come down if you know what I mean. At least it is starting to have more change! She is still quite cranky compared to normal as well.
I am feeling like Babs is trying to take the lead for the pasture mares right now as her udder has doubled in size in one day! She is a lay down and "spit em out" kind of mare but usually has a nice full ready udder first! Buttons is the fullest udder right now but still not ready. Mars is close in second and then Dream.
Moms mares Miss Em and Destiny are looking closest of her bunch but Hallie and Electra both have good starts too. Sabrinia and Miss Em should be the first to go by breeding dates but Sabrinia only just started making a more serious udder. Babe and Diamond just have started udders nothing too exciting.
With our luck they will all foal at the same time and we will have to run from stall to stall delivering ROFL!!!
Updated gestation days:
Ellie 338 days
Dream 331 days
Miss Em 328 days
Sabrinia 324 days
Freckles 324 days
Babs 324 days
Buttons 322 days
Mars 319 days

Happy Easter to you too!
Babs is definitely getting ready fast, I am betting if she keeps at this rate her udder will be full by tomorrow night! Lots of our mares udders are way up tonight so right now that bunch at one time is looking possible LOL!!! Ellie even had another slight increase but she is still just driving me nuts since she is 340 days tomorrow...UGH!!! Buttons and Mars are the other closest both have pretty full udders just not "ready" yet but Mars is starting to loosen up under her tail a bit! Mars is best off foaling outside if the weather allows though so wont bring her in until after foaling unless it rains or something. I am keeping a close eye on all of them in case someone is sneaky!
Mom has a few mares as well that are looking closer so we could just get very busy here in the next couple weeks!

Here he is! He is going to be a bit taller, has a 8" cannon bone. Looks to have a nice spotted blanket already though! Gotta love Babs though, he has already eaten and pooped, I just need to teach her how to spray the umbilical ROFL! Sorry for the small number of pictures but she kept pushing him behind her and couldnt get a good shot of him! Now I am back off to bed for a couple hrs as I am not a morning person
.
Ellie's udder is getting fuller as well so will probably put her back under cam tonight unless someone else looks ready.
