The waiting game is on (Over!)

[Sweetened]

The ligaments came back, not hard but not as spongey, and she's really calm. Her breathing is slow, she just wants to be petted and touched. Hasn't eaten anything except the oats I've given her to check her udder. Baby is very active on one side. That side is hard, the other side isn't as hard but towards the underbelly becomes quite firm. Is this normal?

Gretel, on the other hand, though her ligaments are the same (obvious, quite firm), she's breathing heavily and shifting her tail (She usually walks with it down). She's had persistant white/offwhite discharge today. She'll watch me and then seem to look through me (Gazing off).

*Nail chew!*

Your girls quite literally sound exactly like mine!!!!
If you were feeling for baby on right side, then yes normal. Rumen pushed out of left side when they preggie. The calm and quiet sounds just like Shadow! Although I didn't feel any activity with baby at feeding time. Hoping 'she' c(cross fingers) is making her way down to birth canal!!!! Yaay yaay yaaaay!!!

Marilyn doing the same with discharge, starring off, and breathing rather heavily with that big belly!!!

Cannnnot waaaaait!!!!!

Oh, no! How sad/ disappointing!

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Wait...what?! NOOOOOOOO!!!! Who was this??!!!!! I am so so so so sorry.




On a VERY positive note, you know Agnes and Gretel are close, right? they were all around the same time?

Agnes and Gretel are definitely due. Their due date is the 20th. Murielle was thought to be bred and then never showed any signs, and then we saw the boys after her a couple weeks after the other girls got bred, so she wouldnt have been due for at least 2-3 weeks.

Agnes's ligs are gone, and there's a lot of urinating and deficating, which I also understand is normal, from the baby sitting funny. She's very hollow in the sides and at the tailbone.

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Yaaya yaay yaay!!!
Shadow doesn't move all night...how do I know? The pound of pellets that are under her toosh! She's so miserable, I keep telling her its worth it!!!

 

[Sweetened]

Agnes is getting back to being crochety. I was able to rub her down from head to tail and feet, but now she is not interested in letting me do that without oats. Last check, her ligs we back. So annoying.

Gretel is still hard and firm in the ligs but is dropping.

Day 148

I know how it feels when those ligs soften and harden and almost disappear then come right back. And then when they finally are gone, it's like um, is this really happening? along with being like this . Can hardly wait till your kids come!
