Sadie the yo-yo's Daughter: Chloe owned by Viola **Update**

[Gone_Riding]

Went back out and took two more pictures. I'd like a second opinion, as to me, it looks like it's way out and longer.

That's how Summers looked 2 hrs before she foaled.

 

DEFINITELY progress in that department! She looks more elongated and starting to look a bit puffy!

She's moving ahead so nicely, with nipples separated and pointing down -- she's one to watch for sure!

 

[SummerTime]

I'm sorry! 2 days not 2 hrs!!!! she did this weird buldge just like that! I remember being able to see it bulge out from the side just like that. My guess is 2 more days... But these mares are determined to make us crazy! Lol

Well, I must say mine is writing her own book, she did run amok yesterday lol, stayed the same and yes she still has that baby inside lol. Mmmm, I need to go look at a hoohaw and have hubby help take a pic.

 

[Eagle]

Yep, her hooha is getting ready to let baby out, her udder is moving forward too

 

[blazingstarranch]

I hope you have a new foal soon, once they get to this point it can literally be any time at all. I'm learning that one quick, fast, and in a HURRY!!!

 

[MountainWoman]

Can't give you advice but I can't wait to see the baby!!!

 

[AnnaC]

Yes she's getting very close - could be a couple of days or virtually any minute!! Seriously though, I really think you are going to see this baby before very long. Good luck!

Thanks for the input, Aunties! She's been rubbing a lot, but that's normal for her these days. I know she rolls regularly, because I keep combing the dirt or straw off her. The other day, she rolled at least ten times in a row... She LOVES to roll. Her tail head has always been sunken in from that huge behind of hers, but it seems to be level now. That could be her "sunken in" but I'm not going to read anything into it until AFTER she delivers!

Well, off to my kids' school play! They've got two showings, so I'm not going to be around. I also have a lesson to teach at church tomorrow. I say she waits until Monday morning when it's supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny and I have all day to stare at her!!

 

That rolling is wonderful to hear! She's moving that baby into position and we LOVE to hear that! Won't be long now!

Sadie was really antsy from about 3:30 to around 6:00 this morning. She normally does all her rubbing and rolling during they day, so I got hopeful... She settled back down. I did see baby kick 3x when she was eating her hay this am. That was a comfort to me... The baby kicked right about her belly button straight down.

Also, the milk dried like a rough, white film over my hands. It was sticky prior to drying, but it's always been sticky. I didn't take a good look at it's color, so I don't recall any difference to that.

Here's today's photos, she's 332 days now. The udder on the passenger side was the one I took milk from before the picture was taken. It's always the bigger side.

Day 333, Earth Day.

 

[cassie]

gosh! won't be long now at all! teats are pointing down, vulva is VERY loose... a slight V happening which being a maiden might be her ready I can't wait to see your happy news VERY soon!

safe foaling!

Happy Earth Day

How is her udder this morning?

 

[Gone_Riding]

It's seemed a touch smaller to me this morning, but her pictures show that she has had growth in the middle that I didn't feel. However, it wasn't as hard or hot. It's normal temp now. She was pretty antsy all night and woke me up at 1:15 am. She normally doesn't wake me up until about 3:00 every morning. She also did NOT poop in her stall all night...

A first since I put straw in there! She pooped out in her pasture and even grazed out there. I like seeing the milk veins on her tummy! I thought her hooha had reverted again, but the pictures show a slight change. The bottom of it looks to me that it has started to relax. What do you think?

 

[Gone_Riding]

I do notice that the hooha is not sticking out as far as yesterday...

 

[Eagle]

It isn't as swollen but it looks longer

 

[Gone_Riding]

I'll take any progress she'll give!

 

[MountainWoman]

Yes, seeing those pictures side by side definitely longer.
