Soon, very soon!!!

No, this isn't our foal but Missy's baby should be coming soon!!! She's got colostrum now so we should have a baby pretty quick. We've had two foals here in the past and we weren't sure exactly when either of them was coming. Just got up one morning and there they were. Missy is penned up by the house now since she's getting over her illness. She had one of her legs swell up even after that so we had to do extra meds and Amanda is hydroing her leg twice a day. Because of that we've been checking the leg every day and watching her teats since we're right there looking at her leg. Two days ago nothing out of them. Tonight Amanda had me check and I tried to squeeze a little milk out and ended up squirting a huge stream. After all Missy and this baby have been through recently we really hope the baby is o.k.. The Dr's said it could still be sick when it hit the ground. We're praying for a healthy foal.

We haven't talked about a name for the baby. Don't know if it's a filly or colt, what color or anything. Daddy was a sorrell, Missy's a sorrell. Both of them have paint blood in them so it could be a paint. No telling! Post if you have any ideas of great horse names. We'll post a picture as soon as the baby gets here.
