Just a reminder that Autumn is expected to have her baby any time between today and "early February".

You can look in on her at:

Thanks for the heads up, Marp !

It may or may not mean anything but last night Autumn's baby was very active and she was quite restless.

Today Autumn is still very restless and is staying close to her stall even though it is a beautiful day.

I meant what I said a couple of months back, I have a flameless candle that has cycled for Autumn since I learned of her pregancy. I'll ramp up the prayers to St. Francis.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

@Bird mama,

Thank you for that. If anything goes wrong with this baby the tears will make the floods from a couple of months ago look like a puddle.

@Marp

I will watch the forum for reports. I sincerely don't have the nervous system to watch anything televised via camera. I saw a deer immediately after it was hit by a car this week. I managed to call 911 then lost my mind. I haven't been right all week.

An early check on Autumn and everything looks good. Her keepers are keeping a close eye on her and documenting any changes as the time nears. The Zoo has begun separating Autumn and Walter during the day in case she goes into labor. The pair will split yard time to ensure each gets their share of exercise. For now we watch and wait...

I thought she might of been about to have that baby a little earlier this morning. I watched and watched but she only had to poop. It looks like it might be soon though to me.

LOL Lila Belle, there sure is lots of pooping going on with her. When I was watching very early this morning it looked like she was having "positional" contractions. I think the baby is getting into position and I'm thinking she will deliver soon. That is said a little tongue in cheek because she sure has fooled us in the past.
