Oooooo Diane, spatzle is delish. On a trip trodeo Maryland I had the fortune to eat some. Everyone thought I was nuts for having Spatzle and potatoes.

. I was the crazy one from Texas. Everyone else was from the North. They wanted to know if I carried a gun and

Would love to have an update on Sunny.

Has anyone else heard anything?

 

[Eagle]

Yes we are due for an update when you get time.

Hey guys! Still nothing. She doesn't seem to be eating as much lately and the day before yesterday she was laying down alot (not flat out). Other than that nothing has changed, she's driving me crazy! If the weather is nice tomorrow I'll get some pictures. So yeah, not much to report of but I'm still watching her like a hawk! We'll see....

 

[Eagle]

Thanks for the update,

how are you settling in?

 

[Lil' Horse Lover]

Hey guys, we are settling in really well, all the animals are doing great. I was able to borrow a baby monitor that has video and sound and it works perfectly so now I can watch Sunny all night while she's in her stall, I've started locking her in at night so I can keep a close eye on her and it's been great, really beats having to get up and go outside to check on her. The sound is great on it as well so I can hear everything that goes on in there. This morning she was laying down and laid flat out for a little while. Still no changes that I've noticed, maybe you guys will notice a change.

Here's some pictures of Sunny taken yesterday, 1/6/12-

Well no real change in her udder, but then I dont think she looks big enough in her tummy yet to be thinking about getting a start of the milk bar!

However that tummy is definitely moving in the right direction!!

So glad to hear that you are all settling in well at your new place.

Yeah her tummy isn't huge, some days she's sticking out on the sides a lot and other times she's hanging lower and hardly sticking out. She's throwin' me for a loop

sounds like that little foal is very active, Sunny will have her hoofs full

 

[Lil' Horse Lover]

Still no baby, or big changes. She's been eating a little less hay the past few days, the past two nights that I've felt for foal movements the baby has been really active, lots of moving and some kicking. She's up and down a lot at night. No udder development yet.

This was her the other night..........a common sight the last few nights

We're being hit by a big snowstorm so nice to be able to watch her from inside

 

[AnnaC]

Aww bless her! I do love to see them flat out and relaxed. She looks very happy to be all cosy in her warm stable too if you are having nasty weather outside.

It will be good if she hangs on a bit more before foaling if you have more bad weather likely over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for keeping us updated!

 

[cassie]

she looks so lovely and comfortable, yes I hope she holds out if you guys are having bad weather!

 

[Eagle]

Thanks for the update, she sure looks happy

 

[lucky lodge]

OMG she looks huge...looking as stung as a bug in a rug...aussie saying..

 

[Lil' Horse Lover]

Hey guys! Sunny is STILL pregnant, but she is doing well and baby is still very active, so as long as all is well I'm happy

As far as any changes.....she's eating less, throws her hay around more than eating it, she seems to be carrying the baby lower rather than wide, and she's started shedding like crazy! I checked my other horses and none of them are shedding even a little bit, could that mean anything? Still no bagging up, that I can tell anyways, looking at her all the time I don't think I'll notice any of the small changes.

Here's some pictures taken today 1/29/12-

 

[cassie]

Wow definite improvement!!! Yippee!! So exciting for you!

 

[AnnaC]

Her tummy is looking good and I do think there might be a little movement in her udder??

Maybe she's hanging on to this baby in the hope of a change in the weather?
