Nothin' Yet

As you know, Peanut is ENORMOUS. Her entire pregnancy has seemed to progress very steadily so far, with no suprises. The last sign we are looking for is for her teats to produce some wax to stop the milk from flowing out. The vets suggest this is a sign that labour is only 24-48 hours away. Peanut has started to get some little tiny droplets of wax over the past few days that have fallen off. Once the wax starts to stay and cover the teat, it will be time to count down the hours. It's not unusual at all for mares to wait for the warmer weather, or to be several days early or late from their due date. We've had so much support and some SUPER name suggestions. Name suggestions will be posted once the baby is born. Our guesses for a filly are up to 38 and for a colt up to 35. We even had a few people predict colours and dates! GOOD LUCK PEANUT!
