Wax!!!!!

Friday has finally developed wax on her teats (white dots at openings). This means her milk is "foal ready". This also usually means a baby in 24-48 hours (see photo). Don't worry, Friday is very comfortable with her body and is free and open with her udder, so is okay with me posting the photo.

Note the big milk veins. Foals need a lot of milk!!

She is definitely looking good, in fact better than she has in a week. She is affectionate and came right up to us when we climbed into the paddock. The baby has moved to the birth canal so she is not sticking out as much as she was before (note rear view shot). The barn manager is checking her at midnight and 4am, so we hope he catches her in early labor. The girls are sooooo excited. We want to see our new baby!

Health Mom!

Not sticking out so much.
