Pre-baby jitters

Well the vet was out Friday the 11^th, Flirt had her pre-foaling shots, that should be a simple non eventful appointment for most people.

I suppose I’m not most people, as I was tempted to throw myself at the vet and hang on to his leg and beg him to take up residence at the arena to watch my precious mare until which time our little red sweet thing has all four on the ground and is nursing effortlessly.

Thank the lord I have restraint, for the most part……other than practically getting in his truck with him to continue asking questions, I was pretty good, I did let him leave …. eventually.

So now I know I should not stare at my mare endlessly for days surrounding her foaling date…and I know that I should see a white “NOT RED” bubble that will come and go and eventually a little hoof will appear then another little hoof will present itself at which time a little foal nose should be seen, at which time I should stay back and not dive on the cute little bundle of job and let the momma do her thing and bond with HER baby…..OH LORD give me strength

Pre-baby jitters

OK so I won't lie I am scared senseless about my mare giving birth ..... I was never as worried about my own pregnancy's and births. I agonize about the decision I made ...... God forbid anything happens to my beloved mare in the birthing process I would never forgive myself.
With all that off my chest I have to say I am also as excited as I could be, with 4-25 fast approaching I can't stop feeling the baby kick and visualize what the little cutie will look like, my mare never looked so happy and content as she does now, even the last time the vet was out he commented on how happy my mare looks. So this is going to be a positive thing nothing will go wrong and little wonderful will make his or her appearance in to the world un-eventfully and there I will be with open arms and a huge smile.
I will go for coffee and come back to check on my girl and there will be our gift from God and of course Wrangle socks ..... he or she will look just like mom and dad with a feisty attitude and a zest for life and all will be good in the world at that moment.
I'm going to sleep now with that thought in my head and peace will come to my worried mind for now.

You can expect that I will be doing a lot of blogging now for a while..... so until next time happy trails to you!
