Layla being curious about the digital camera.

Still no baby. Everyday there are more changes in her body, her udders, and her attitude. I think when
the weather warms up a bit, we may get a foal. I haven't been working with her at all on her ground work,
thats on hold until after the foal is born. I have just been loving her, petting her and feeding her, the
later is her favorite. You can see evidence of her favorite past time if you look at her forelock in the
picture above, hanging from her forelock is a tell tale piece of oat hay. We love her alot.

Still no baby. I don't know how much bigger poor Layla can get. She is so huge. Her
belly has really dropped, it looks like a big V from the side. Her rump is very mushy
now, the muscles are loose and ready for baby to come out. Her udders are totally full.
She has alot less energy than she did. Shes not enjoying her food nearly as much as
before, which is probably the biggest sign that baby is on the way.
Above picture - You can see how round poor Layla is, she is positively bulging.
Below picture - Her belly has really dropped and you can see how loose the
muscles are in her rump. Shes very ready for the baby to come.
Below - This is a picture of her udder from behind, you can see how full they
already are.

Still No baby. Layla's grumpy and moody. She can't decide what she wants. She
calls to me to take her out of her foaling stall and move her to her big paddock. An
hour or so in the big paddock and she calls to me to move her back to her foaling
stall. Poor girl, I can't imagine how it must feel to be that pregnant.
