Peg, start swinging her tail back and forth, that will cool her off and pump it once in a while too,,,,that will get the baby coming faster. :-) *ducking*

Oh Wow, no electric? Is it back on now? I hope so.....

Yeah, I was wondering how we could fit it in to take a run over to see the baby.....IF it ever gets here.....:lol: Will just have to see when it DOES get born, and then when we can do it....

I have so much on my patio potted right now, and later last night DH says, *which ones are Peggy's?* (again) I'm about sick of him asking.....I pointed to them one by one and said *read the tags!*....I don't understand him....:lol:

Come on Poco!!! :D

Electric was only off for about an hour last night. :P Still no baby. My DH thought for sure she would have it last night because of the storm. But Poco was eatly quietly in her stall this morning when I came to work. :lol:

Is DH still bunking in the trailer? Cuz you know as soon as he moves back in the house, Poco will foal!! :lol: All things in due time (no pun intended). How's your vet doing, btw? Did her surgery go well?

In this case the saying should be.."A watched Poco never foals". :)
