No she hasn't! Her udder is getting bigger. There is water coming out of the teats but yesterday I noticed it was sticky. We are making very slow progress towards delivery. It seems to be taking forever!!!
Her spirits are good and she seems happy
She is in her stall at night and you can see her on the barn cam...usually 7:30pm until 7am.

Thank you for the update! I was recalling that picture of her with that baby turned sideways and her looking absolutely miserable, had a good giggle once again.

I looked and it looks to me like the baby has shifted. She looks better than she did a week ago. I hope it's soon!

She is doing great! She seems very happy and bright. I think she is excited to have one of her own species so she doesn't have to rely on the goatie-goats for companionship

I'm hoping to see little baby long ears one of these nights.

Just checked in - looks like the camera got bumped. It's tilted sideways and pointing at the wall on the left side of the stall gate/door.

Looks like a nice barn you have there, btw.

Her belly looks a lot different than last night to me, like everything sunk down. I also saw a big angle poke out from her side for a moment and then back in, poor Mama-D lol it looked like the baby wanted out sideways!

A Volvo is an expensive car for an equine, isn't it?

I will say a certain stubby little creature with an expression like Eyore's and a tummy like an egg seems awfully fussy tonight.

Funny I was thinking about Mama-D last night. I am a lurker here, and I was wondering if there was a cute baby donk yet. I will keep my eye on the web cam!!

Thanks! I actually moved it so it's not just an empty stall all day on the video. Sometimes Mama and the goats come in and eat hay off that hay rack.

Thanks everyone! I think it's getting closer but still the clear sticky stuff coming out of the teats...no milk yet.

We went to the sale barn tonight and they had a mini donk with a foal at her side. Cute! Cute! Cute!
