Day 338

Today Mom sent me pictures and I got insanely excited because it appeared that Don't finally has more of an udder. I wasn't happy with the vulva shot because it was at an angle (Mom was in a hurry. Unlike me, she has this thing she calls a job!) and it looked really loose to me. 

Naturally, I squealed a little and called mom and told her I HAD to go see for myself. Being the overprotective (and smart) mom she is, she said I couldn't go in th stall by myself. Since I highly doubt that Don't would nicel position her tail by the stall wall for me to get a picture from outsid the stall, or roll on her belly for an udder picture, I went with plan B: bug mom's friend. 

Brittney was not only nice enough to let us borrow her video baby monitor for easier viewing when don't goes into labor, but she also brought baby Gage to the farm and held Dont's head so I could get pictures and see for myself. 

The verdict: one side of her udder looks pretty full. I didn't touch it since mom would kill me if I got kicked, but it appeared to have changed quite a bit. I could even see it from the side, which is new! Brit and I agreed that we vulva looks longer and looser, too. 

So her udder still isn't full, but it's really filling up! Don't was also holding her tail higher than normal an swishing it quite a bit. Kind of like she was swatting at non-existent flies. These are all signs that she's getting close. Not hours away close, but close enough that my completely non-professional, biased and over-excited opinion is that we will have a baby within a week. Unless her udder deflates and she goes into a holding pattern, in which case you'll be able to fin me in the corner of the barn. Sobbing. 

Pictures are in the comparison posts for anyone who wants to see them. Keeping this PG rated for my more squeamish readers who don't enjoy an occasional horse vulva picture. 

Picture of her back end. Supposed to look for something like indentions near tail. I don't see any. I also don't really know exactly what I'm looking for.
