NY - Giraffe Watch: April, 15, due to give birth at Animal Adventure Park #2

[CARIIS]

Anyone here have the hoof alert?

There has been nothing to hoof about !!

 

[CARIIS]

It really is amazing-- today is the most I have seen her swing her amazing neck around to the middle region or the rear.

That makes sense

She is doing it right now

I think this is finally IT! Come on April, you've got this.

I think she's ready.
She's bending around looking towards her backend and looking swollen.

 

[CARIIS]

:gaah: She better not!

Seriously, she's cleaning her back end almost constantly now. I don't think she'll last till Easter. Yup I said it :facepalm:

I do think that means a lot - she can't just develop hemorrhoids in one night!

And a couple of the other ones I watched they did that a lot!!!

Feeling strange sensations back there !!

It works like a shot of oxytocin. Stimulates contractions and progresses labor.

If she was in labor :blushing:

 

[CARIIS]

The tushie stuff correlates IMO with the pacing



And she is def not standing still at the feeders for a long peroid of time , like little Miss Bulimic has for quite some time



Have any of you seen her lie down once today??

Had a rough night last night even with the Lunesta , now when I see her swinging her head to rear I don't want to take it yet.

I noticed she is doing it more and more in addition to holding her tail even higher and chewing at her flanks--all signs birth is imminent. http://blog.zoo.org/2013/07/zoos-giraffe-due-to-give-birth-any-day.html

Arching the neck backwards is another sign of labor, IIRC, which is what I'm looking for next. That and for her water to break.

U2forever, those cakes look awesome. I need cake. Maybe I should get one for the birth when it happens.

We are getting Opy a leash this weekend. Will report back!!! [emoji3]

Oh yes, dyannaON, let us eat cake, watch April birth a beautiful, healthy calf, check out Ollie and be merry!!
Give me cake or give me sugar.
Cake helps make the world go round. The sweeter the better.

[Tillicum]

It's coming!

 

[CARIIS]

I wonder if there is something genetic like it would be safer to deliver in the cover of darkness?

 

[they'll get you]

Were going to be aunts and uncles!!
Oh she's a beautiful girl.

 

[CARIIS]

I am telling you Miss April you had better not be just having a "gassy" day!

I thought wish we had audio!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was standing next to the outside door with her tail out and what I thought was the hooves starting to come was the black latch on the door

Wishful hallucinations - quite like Carrie Fishers book Wishful Drinking



It was awesome laugh out loud stuff!!

And all the stuff we have learned they all say that once they start they get it over with

This book,and Me Talk Pretty One Day. Cures for the blues. It's impossible to read either one & not bust a gut laughing.
