THanks!!! No changes yet... so we wait!

But here is her WIIIIIIIIIIIDE belly!

[Arizonasilver]

  she's huge. Bless her heart! Thank you for the picture.

[aliciamay]

Poor little girl.  She must feel like she is going to explode.  Prayers that foaling will be soon and it'll be safe.  Cocoa......it'll be over soon.

Oh my Jessi - she is WIIIIIIIDE!!  Bless her heart - it's 2:30 am here EST and she is laying down sternal...oops not anymore - she just got up.

Looks like she is might be nibbling on something but can't tell for sure. Will peek in again before I head back to bed.

[karentr]

It's now 3:24 EST and she is standing and still looking like she is nibbling on something - LOL - just got a top view of the wide load again

From this view - she looks ready to me! Prayers for a safe foaling and healthy foal!!

[Palomino]

  what a belly!

  for the pictures.

[CheyAut]

Crazy, huh?

We FINALLY have some progress in her udder!!! Not much, but some Can't get any milk, not that much of a change, but I'll take what I get
Belly seemed a little different, but NOT dropped, so maybe baby was just in a different position.

[CheyAut]

Yup, it's off. It's so hot here now and the computer has to be in a room with no a/c and no insulation (as far as the cam cord reaches!) so until I feel she will go at any moment, I have it off during the day. I turn it back on anytime between 5:30pm and 8:30pm Az time, and it's on until about 7:30 or 8am Az time (we're the same time zone as California right now).

[aliciamay]

  Jessi.  I see cocoa looks about the same......still munching away.  Looks like she's gonna hold off for a bit more.  I wonder if the heat affects pregnant horses like it does with women who are pregnant during the summer months.  Just curious

alice

[CheyAut]

Hmm, maybe, who knows with mares lol!!!

I pick a "due date" as day 330, but last year Cocoa went on 347, so guess it wouldn't be a surprise if she held off for awhile!

[SOUTHERNSTYL]

  OK little Ms cocoa puff, we want see waht ya got in there now:)  Wish your cam was clearer,might be the humidity tonight,but we still can see ya good enough that you can't pull a fast one

[SOUTHERNSTYL]

  OH Cocoa, have you and Goldie been talkin???   Your progress sounds about the same and I don't trust either one of ya as far as I could throw ya!!   Don't think your ever without EYES kiddo! Cause yer NOT!  I have more of those IF ya let us in on whats cookin in there

[aliciamay]

Jessi, how is your dog?  Did his blockage ever clear out.?  How is he feeling?  What does the vet say?

[CheyAut]

I wondered why her cam looked darker today then yesterday, so when I got home I looked and the light was facing UP and out LOL! I will try to have Craig turn it a bit (I can't reach it lol)

Alice, thanks for asking Yesterday the vet (not actual vet but the lady there) called to check on him, so I let her know he's eating well and holding it down, he has not thrown up but is acting much more perky. So I figure if the vet herself was worried I'd hear back, but haven't. They said keep an eye on him, and if he's regressing at all to call them back. But today he's acting 100% normal. Craig had to cave and leave him outside a bit unattended so it's possible he HAS thrown it up, but we don't know. As long as he's acting normal and spunky, I guess we'll just keep a close eye on him!
