Foal watch night 3

9:30pm: Don't isn't doing a whole lot. It's warmer and quiet, and everyone says she'll foal tonight, but I'm not convinced.

 She's done quite a bit of pacing, but not an insane amount like last night. She's practically wagging her tail like a dog, and she seems to hold her tail high and to the side (like she's getting ready to poop) almost constantly. It's kind of odd to watch. 

She laid down once about a half hour ago, right in a corner. (Feet away from the wall, so no casting!) She rested for about 10 minutes, waking to glare at her belly a few times. Then she tried to roll, but didn't have room there. She jumped up, lifted her tail, did a couple circles aroun the stall, and is now munching on her hay. 

Mom, Jessie, and Brian are all napping. I have the kids here and my cousin Ashley is spending the night, too! Hopefully she'll get to see some foaling action! Fingers crossed. 

9:53 she pooped. Oh, and Jessie is awake. That's all I've got for you. (Jessie's mad. "She's not doing a freaking thing!") Also, the baby monitor won't work if the microwave is running. That's almost as frustrating as the fact that Don't isn't doing enough I warrant my panic if the monitor turns off. 

10:20 she peed. Interesting, right? She's blowing quite a lot. Probably nothing, but it's new. 

10:53 she laid down for ten minutes, did a little roll and back up. She is never having the baby. 

11:37 she pooped. No baby, minimal pacing. Resting up to foal in 2015 or so. 

11:58 SURPRISE! Don't isn't even pregnant! This was all an elaborate, really lame prank. Hahahahaha you fell for it! But really. I'm beginning to wonder. I think the vet is in on it. "Heartbeat sounds good!" Pffft. She made that up. (I'm getting impatient.)

12:51 I have company again. Mom and Jessie are awake. The kids, Brian, and Ashley are sleeping. Don't is just relaxing. Eating hay, gettin a drink, holding her tail in the air. 

2:03 she laid down for approximately forever. Rolled. Got up. Peed, and is now standing with her tail high to the left. Just hanging out with her tail held stupid.
