Sorry guys still no baby (and yes, yesterday was official due date). She did get up several times last night as if to get into position. Both my daughter and I took turns getting up and checking on her. The vet comes out this afternoon, so maybe he can give me an idea.
Here's a pic I snook in when I got home from work. "A girl and her horse".
If that's not the purest form of love from both of them, I don't know what is. What a sweet sweet picture. . . |

Location: Keeping up with the numbers! | Ok no baby, but ultrasound confirmed the bun is still baking!!!!! He thinks we are very close maybe two days to a week - he mentioned he did not have a crystal ball (ugh).
My thoughts are she will definitely have the baby now because my husband left this morning and will be gone for almost a week (seriously-last hunting trip).
I want to thank everyone again for all their prayers and well wishes as this is truly a miracle. I will keep everyone posted and hopefully have some baby pictures to share very soon!
On another note, I do not have facebook, but Ghostrider mentioned a group for nurse mares. I had a friend try, but it said they were a closed group. So excuse my ignorance, but how do you get to join?

Location: Keeping up with the numbers! | Sorry to report no change. She nickers at me when I come to see her, but unless I ask her to get up she just lays. We are doing our best to get her up at least 3 to 4 times a day for 10-20 minutes. I pray this baby comes soon and gets some weight off of her. Obviously this birth will be very different from the others, but I know God has a plan and whatever the outcome it will be.
My vet and I have spoken about several outcomes and I have been trying my best to keep positive and have strength for both her and my daughter.

She had that same determination back then. How old is she? Y'all are in my thoughts so many times during each day---I know it's weighing on you and your family as well as Reckless, but know your supporters are holding you up in prayer. |

Location: Keeping up with the numbers! | No baby to report yet, but we were able to extract 32 ounces of milk last night. If anybody has ever milked a mare by hand you will know this is no easy job. Thank goodness Reckless has a whatever you need to do attitude about all of this. The milk was white and sweet and she has gotten soft and elongated.
I slept at the barn last night outside her stall trying to be quiet as a mouse, but to no avail we are still without a baby. Hoping she decides to share this baby with us today or tonight!
Thanks again everyone for checking in. I won't lie to you, I am very nervous about this birth. I have had some amazing conversations and tutorials with several individuals, but this one has me very nervous as I have never had to assist if needed during the birthing process. Thank heaven for BHW and so many wonderful people!!!! |
