EmmaLee is super glad now she's a girl, 'cuz she'd be wanting Tucker for "his" name then!
Mark just watched G so I could sleep--a while 90 min in a row!! Yeeha!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D
He would have watched longer--but he's taking his parents to see Rachel race again tomorrow. She had two races today and won a beautiful medal by coming in first place!!
Gypsy also slept--and she's so quiet I think she forgot she's pregnant. :?
Justin comes home soon--I wonder how eager he is to watch Gypsy? Hee hee hee...

Goodness I can sort of relate. we bred our Yorkie and she delivered 5 pups. I nearly had a spaz! LOL I watched a bunch of youtube videos on Puppy birthing. I was wreck. So I definatly know how to be praying on this one. I finally called the vet tech for the last 3. She laughed at me and said your dog is doing great! You on the other hand...you are a wreck!
Your horsey will do fine.
I love your morning glories too!

alaskasunshine--I bet it's the same no matter who's having babies. I'm glad I didn't know much when I had mine... I knew what to eat when and how to have a healthy baby as far as I could control--but I didn't know about everything that could go wrong.
Update--Gypsy has a nice full bag--but it's not hard hard--not like she's going to foal today hard. Darn it. My dad is coming over tonight for a refresher course on red bags, sacs, and cords. :wink: The weird thing going on is the mares' bags are hard at the opposite time of day as other years--I hope that doesn't mean they're going to foal at the opposite time of day... they've always gone at night--and I need them to continue that--at least to go between 4PM and 5AM.
