fingers crossed I catch this one. I haven't been able to watch as much as I did last year.

i am so determined not to miss this foal. ive missed almost every one ive been watching for this year. its 4:20 am here and ive been up all night, and if you think she is close ill probably pull an all nighter. call me crazy but im stubborn as a mule and refuse to miss another birth this year.

I just checked her and shes still looking ready to foal any minute. I hate to say for sure because I feel so bad when people stay up and then they dont foal. Its 8 am here and last year she foaled at 10 am. Its been our experience that they like to foal the same time every year but you never know for sure. If she hasnt started in the next 2 hours then I doubt she will foal. Wish I could pin it down closer for you! I was trying to see if she waxed but I forgot the flashlight. She has a black udder so its hard to see

Star is waxing pretty good now and manure is very loose. Milk sample is thick like glue and turning yellow so we have to be very close. Come on Star!

With the door open it does get some reflection. Im going to shut it when it cools off a little more

I'm up late so I decided to check on her. She's pacing around her stall but it doesn't look like she's having contractions. She's probably just uncomfortable. If Kaykay is right about the morning thing, maybe it'll be later on this morning? I'll be watching for sure.

Going to bed now. Hopefully I don't miss it!

I saw your post so I checked in on her. She had a BM and felt much better. When I checked on her at six this morning she was sound asleep.

Maybe today is the day.
