[jessj]

Ran home at noon to check on Izz..here are the pics!

 

[jessj]

Just to compare...6:30am and noon

 

[jessj]

Ok...i went back and looked at Megan's pics of Laney and I have decided one of three things has to be true...

1. Izzie has a very odd shaped udder

2. I still have a little while to wait

or

3 Both 1 and 2 are true.

 

[MeganH]

LOL

I think Laney may have the odd shaped udder. I remember thinking that when I was taking her pictures and looking at all the other mare's on here.

I don't think you have too much longer- maybe more towards the end of the month though. I think the best thing to watch will be her udder.

Laney's hooha and shape changed and looked ready a long before she foaled. She even paced, rolled and had mushy poop too. The day I knew she was going was the day that her teats filled out and changed shape and I could get real milk without even trying.

BUT- Izzie is definitely needing to be watched because she could get ready super quick and fill her udder right before or after foaling.

The good thing is that once you foal her out once you'll have a better idea of what to look for next time. At least I hope so because I remember how I was waiting for Laney. The last few weeks I barely left the house for anything.

The cams still not working?

I hope they decided to give in and stream for you!

I got the website streaming, but now I cant get the new part that I ordered to recognize my camera....ug. It is still hooked to a television beside my bed. I am still working on getting it working online!

 

[countrymini]

Go little Izz! or should i say 'big' coz that udder is huge!

 

[jessj]

Huge changes.... Including WAXING.(sorry the pics of it arent great) Going to try to do a milk test as soon as hubby gets home! Pics are 4:30pm.

 

[jessj]

Ran out and got better pics of the waxing...still not great but better. Also a hooha pic...relaxed and very swollen!

 

[countrymini]

:SoHappy

 

[jessj]

Milk is white and sticky....and according to the testing strips we should have a baby soon!!!!!

and my stupid computer wont let me post pics of it

 

[eagles ring farm]

I'll betting on tonight even though her udder is not very full. I have never had a mare wax though so it will be interesting how long she'll wait after the waxing, 1 time had a mare dripping milk and she lasted about 1 hour after I noticed it before foaling. praying for a safe textbook foaling

 

[jessj]

Finally got the stinking pics to load! She is walking around looking for crumbs from her dinner so I am going to jump in the shower real quick!

ETA: Megan you ROCK for sending me these strips...i would be freaking out right now without them!

 

[MeganH]

Ahhhh!! SO exciting!!! She wanted us to think she was waiting and then gear up in one day!!!

:SoHappy

Now I won't be able to sleep tonight even though she's not on cam! So excited!!!!

Edit- You are so welcome! So glad you have them because she really didn't look ready earlier but it looks like now she is!

WOW.. I just looked back at the pictures and she seriously did some udder work in a short period of time. Her nipples were touching in your pictures from last night!!

 

[jessj]

DIANE!!!! So glad you posted!!! I was just about to email you....my phone dropped into water and fried and I dont have your #!!! Can you pm me with it please?

 

[jessj]

also wanted to add that her udder was warm and tight and as soon as i peeled the wax off it was very easy to get milk. As soon as it touched my hand I knew it was probably close because it was VERY sticky!

 

[MeganH]

Funny thing is I was about to PM you, Jess, and tell you to have Diane on speed dial

 

[jessj]

Funny thing is I was about to PM you, Jess, and tell you to have Diane on speed dial

lol...isnt she the best. She had to approve my last two mares before I would buy them.

 

[MeganH]

Yes! She got a call from me right after Tinkerbelle was born and helped me out. So glad she is here!

(Not to forget all the PMs and advice.. she is so awesome)

 

[lexischase]

YAY!!! Getting VERY close now, I am praying for a quick and easy delivery. Cant wait to see photos of a healthy momma and foal

:yes

 

[jessj]

Izz has her tail braided and wrapped and is munching hay in her stall. Grabbed anothe pic of her udder while I was there...looks fuller! I peeled the wax off to get milk for the milk test and it is back. Also got a pic of the inside of her hooha...and she didnt even pitch a fit about it!
