Anybody watching April

Jamma — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 17:22:06 GMT

Two men were in her pen---her tail was elevated a bit and they kept looking at her rear area---and feeling her tummy.

One of the men took a picture of the rear are----then they left.

What do you make of that? Could it be there a little action starting!

@Jamma I am watching, waiting. Wondering if she will actually give birth during the storm. Susan Q-Social

I hope she gives birth soon. Did you see the men in her pen earlier?

In case of power failure, jump on wi-fi. It's free!

I'm glued, glued I tell you, to my iPad. My husband and I went out to lunch and I took my iPad with us and I checked it three times in the restaurant.

I thought yesterday afternoon and evening and this morning she seemed a little lethargic. She also had her tail raised several times this morning.

I'm home now and plan to keep watching.

@Jamma @Mz iMac @Susan-QVC

I have been checking in on her every day! Just now I could detect the baby moving!

Ordered tee shirts for the grands yesterday, which was the last day for the shop being open.

This tells me that the anticipated event must be expected pretty soon after March 12th!

@Mz iMac

Thank you for the link!

I've been watching for 2 weeks. If I wake up in the night I check on her too! I was excited to see the men in with her earlier and taking pictures. I sure hope the little one shows up soon!

Another April lover here!! Can't wait to see a tiny bubble start, then a peek of a hoof & hopefully an easy delivery and a new calf.. We love watching when the keepers or vet is in with her.. I can't imagine an animal that size looking down at ya and sniffing at ya.. she and Oliver are gorgeous!!

Waving @Susan-QVC.. was over in Kennesaw a couple days ago.. Still amazed at all the construction around KSU and Kaiser. It's cold down here too- burrrrrrrr..

@Susan-QVC, box some of that snow up and send to us!! I wouldn't mind a little- roads clear of course- it's just so pretty to look at.

You stay safe with what's headed your way too!

@gidgetgh

Oh thanks! I have not checked my FB today yet!

Do you watch on an "April" page?

Re: Anybody watching April

gidgetgh — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 19:25:47 GMT

Oh! My! Gosh!

The park's Facebook page just posted an update. At 12:45 today, the staff noticed significant changes. Staff has made arrangement to stay all night, because of the blizzard. The vet is on site now and from what I understand, will be staying also.

They said that they can't confirm at this time that she's in active labor, but there have been significant changes.
