Here's the update as written to Kennedy this morning:
Tuesday-Gypsy was quiet and showed no signs throughout the night. I set my cell phone alarm and woke every 30 min, then every 45, then every hour... and she was resting or eating.
This morning her bag is firm--but the same--not more. She's no more loose. I put them in the back pasture since the middle one is slippery. It's healthier for a foal to be born outside...and there's more of a chance the sac would break off. My dad will check her every hour unless he feels she's not going to go--then less often. If he thinks she'll go I'll get home asap--I still have to figure out about that meeting--it'll all depends on Dad's updates.
I was pretty shaky this morning--but cleaning the barn took care of that--all good now. :-)

Well....she sure is a stubborn one isn't she????? I can see that you brought out the BIG lights and sound for her Terri....lets see what I can find to help...
I'm bringing the dancers...COME ON GYPSY!!!! Get all ready...then wait for Karla to get home.!
Karla, hope you are at least eating right since you aren't getting any sleep...shakey???? Maybe you should have Mark watch while you do actually get some rest.
