one down, two more to go

WEll Buffy delivered a gorgeous little silver dapple filly on Friday, March 12. So now we have a bit of a wait until July when Nellie will be due. Tonight I was able to feel Nellie's baby kicking! She is at day 195 today, with about 135 more days to go. Plenty of time for me to rest up and play with the new baby.

334 days gestation

Well this is the night I believe. The test strips say her milk is ready and she certainly looks ready to go. Will be staying up all night, no sleep tonight for me. Wish us luck.

~331 days gestation

Well her udder is filled now and the milk is almost where it needs to be. The changes necessary are the kind that can take place in a day or less. So I am on high alert. I sleep no more than half and hour at a time at night and spend the times in between watching Buffy on our wireless barn camera. Not long now, I'm really hoping for the weekend as my daughter Lyndsay is leaving for United States for March Break and it would kill her not to see the foal before she leaves. I'm spoken to Buffy about this and she's taking it all into consideration.
