High Lake Farm Kidding Watch: Week-old baby pics! (pic heavy)

[PJisaMom]

This is Lulu (she's the one to the right, in front):

So, one day, I paid for date with this buck (after twice attempting a different buck):

And next thing you know... WHAMMO!

She looks like this! (Due date is the 24th)

So... she's gooey (tinge of amber, but mostly milky clear)... and the dog was doing ok watching over things...

But... she's making noise... and generally not herself. The mini horse, BlueBell, decided enough was enough and headed outside.

I put her in the kidding stall... but she refused to be alone (throwing herself against the locked gate was my clue). So her daughters have joined the slumber party. So this is how I left her... for now.

I think I'm going to be up all night and she's not going to kid tonight.

My children (plus one friend) are camped out in the living room waiting for it to happen... how i'm supposed to wake and drag three sleeping girls out is beyond me.

Will keep you posted!

uh-oh. I daresay its amber colored. And there is an odd colored spot on the hay....

And now is a fine time to realize the flash on the *good* camera is broken...

:/

I have to say that's one of the most beautiful mini horses I've seen. Actually looks like a mini horse, not a small pony.

Thanks... she's really purty... 'specially when she's clean! She is white dappled (?) with gray... her face is very cute. She is the latest addi(c)tion to my collection. She's been awesome, but won't graze alone in the huge mowed pasture I gave her... needs the goats to go with her (unless she's starving, she won't go out alone). I need to get some pictures of her...

Not that the goats do a whole lot of foraging in the huge UNMOWED pasture of weeds reserved just for their private use... they need *me* to hold their hands... er, hooves.

Lulu is still hanging on. Of course she didn't go last night. She is waiting until 1pm today, because the kids have dentist appointments... across town. Yep. I said it. But she won't shut up and she's still gooey... just not long drips, so hard to tell color. Not going for the hay, pawing at the ground... let her out of the kidding stall for a bit. Thinking of taking a shower... Now.

That ought to do it... right?

[Also not helping the dog IS in heat now and she's being, uh, super attentive to Lulu's rear end... ]

I need a nap...
