Wish you were in the same state, I'd volunteer to inflict you all with ZOMBIE BREE a few weeks early and watch her for you!
But remember to stay calm, and breath. No matter how tempting the urge to throttle her gets

Its ok girls, we'll manage. I might become a menace to society and be locked away but they probably have the internet so I can still chat

We all feel your "pain" but remember -- you will quickly forget it all once that baby is nuzzling you!!

Excuses excuses!
Last night was better, hubby took turns, so not so tired today. I can see her nipples from the side now when she walks. They must be hanging lower.
Her being Sweety, not my hubby

Still acting like she's got no intention of foaling. Talked to an old aquaintance yesterday and explained my predicament. He has foaled horses before and said she's probably waiting for the day you need to move then she'll have it. He musta had some meanies in his time lol

At least she is healthy and strong and moving ahead just perfectly. It's frustrating, and we feel your pain, but hopefully she will give you this little one sooner than later. Personally, I just can hardly wait to see some SPOTS !!

Finally some excitement here!
After my last post Sweety started acting agitated. She was still eating, but would storm off flicking her tail all grumpy. This went on for about two hours then about 5.30 she started getting up and down. 5.33 she was pushing and i'm freaking out trying to work out what 15mins after 5.33 was incase there was no progress but my brain just wasn't working! Her waters broke and white bag started coming out, phew! Next was a foot but it was a lot squishier than I was expecting so of course I thought it was a nose. Panic. Then other foot came out (phew) and nose all pretty much level with the first foot. Panic. Sweety rolled and second foot and nose went back to where the were supposed to be. I held the pressure on baby while she was pushing. Sweety had her standing up in the end so I caught her. Bag didn't break so I opened it, wasn't expecting it to be so hard. I was a bit worried at first as Sweety was getting mad evertime baby bumped into her but she's got the hang of unconditional mother love now and baby is allowed to do anything. She is sooo cute, black as black. Not a spot on her that I can see, might have to get at her with some correction pen. All over red rover by 5.40. Soooo thankful it all went perfectly. Baby has found the milk bar and I think Sweety has milk as there was a lot of squelching going on under there! Will go back and check her again in a min. just thought i'd better leave her as baby was following me a bit and didn't want her to get the wrong idea of who mummy was! Here's some photos of our little cutie!

Continuing from my joy on facebook:
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took her time
LOL!
She's looking very sweet, I hope we get loads of dry photos tomorrow!
If she stays that dark when she dries out then I hope you like grey, she's looking very dark! What a darling!

Is very black a sign they will grey out? I'm not worried either way, still can't believe I got a filly! So awesome!!!
Often the greys don't get that lighter coloured foal shading that we often see. It's like they tease us with awesome colour
But they always look darker wet so the colour obssesor in me can't wait to see her dry!
As an example though, a Lipizzaner foal, born black and will go grey (also has the classic grey goggles):
A black Arab foal, not likely to grey out:
You can see the differences in their foal coats. Foal colour is so mean!
So happy she's on the ground for you finally! And I still love "About Time" as a name
