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

[CARIIS]

Hark! Ollie may need a CPAP. I can see it now...

When I first saw this I thought it said CRA$, I thought oh my this serious!!

 

[CARIIS]

I couldn't help myself. I could hear DH snoring through the closed bedroom door when I posted! :lol:

Good news for you all - I noticed Lowes is having a sale a concrete bedroom doors end soon tho!!

 

[CARIIS]

Oliver's becoming suspicious. :waitasec:

She is trying to make him pay for more hay!!

 

[CARIIS]

Such a pretty girl!!!

Olivia thinks she is a hot mama!

Us text subscribers did receive some photos today, mostly of April and Ollie with their new enrichment feeders, but I guess I can't post them.

They expressly say on the page "please do not share them to social media or anywhere else!" These new ones also have a copyright watermark on them.

I guess there's no way around this? The page with the originals can't be linked to because you have to enter a subscribed phone number to see the page.

I bet our nuclear codes are easier to get into than Jordons goldmine!

 

[CARIIS]

This isn't adding up IMO.


When is April actually due? April's tentative due day was mid-February, give or take some days. She is very close but it could still be hours or days.

On Dec 31 2017 on the yearly look back this will be one of the top ten questions of the year

"Giraffe Cam Down

We are aware and our team has jumped on the issue, however -

Per IT
"There might be something bigger going on. A bunch of things are down. Can't even sign into remote software from Verizon or Time Warner"

We will get things back up and running as soon as our services are available to do so!

Update: it appears there is planned outages!
We have no control but will be back ASAP

If there are any updates on April - we can send them out via our text alert system! We will keep you posted."

Dear Jordon

I expect a pro-rated refund for the time I am unable to access what I paid for . I did not get it! Just being a smart as@

4/8 Evening Update

All is well on the giraffe front! April keeps us waiting. Keeper and vet reports today have no remarkable change. Though this may seem redundant - it's actually a good thing! Full udders, huge belly, mom ready - we just need the labor process to begin - so we are waiting for that final stage.

Temperatures will climb tomorrow and then we are off to a beautiful week!

BBM. Yep, I used the word redundant days ago! Come on, ginormous mama!

....................................

The link I posted above says she's ready but the baby just isn't coming out!

I think her calf is shy. It doesn't like crowds; doesn't like being the center of attention. MOO

Or You Tube!!

4/9 Evening Update

Our big girl seems to be moving around quite a bit! That is a good thing! Moms will get very "Pacey" before and during birth....we will see if it is any indication as to what is to come. All else is well.
April enjoyed yard time today! We have opened her door for weeks and she has only stood in the doorway; but today! - of all days! - she ventured out! Tonight's photo is of that time outside and tomorrow we will send more exclusive content to our text subscribers - of today and tomorrows escapades!
If you haven't subscribed yet we encourage it! it is a Labor alert and Baby Update opportunity! www.aprilthegiraffealert.com
The week promises warmer temperatures and a full moon is upon us! I hope that will shake things up!

Bless her heart!

:thinking: hmmmmmmmm, something to consider. Wait?? :waitasec: I don't think that will help when I'm inside the bedroom too!

 

[CARIIS]

What's this talk of a giraffe giving birth?? I'm completely out of loop.... been busy watching paint dry and some grass grow


ETA: I still think it's gonna' take a full moon for April to give birth

Your grass must be 3 feet by now !!!

Those are not wayfarers you big dummy, they are Aviators. Lol
I know, I'm talking to myself.

Oy vey April.The.Giraffe. Get off it and PUSH, bear down and PUSH, no poop, just PUSH.

This is calf numeral: uno, dos, tres, catorce, for crying out loud; no pushing necessary.
I may have just lost my mind.

LOL! I love this thread. It's so nice to have a little Oasis of goodness amongst all the bad.

I agree! I love everyone here. Even if y'all talk most when it's the middle of the night for me. But I catch up when I can and I can always count on coming away with more than a few smiles. This thread truly is a little oasis.

:heartbeat: :grouphug:

No worries.... talking to yourself only becomes problematic when you are the only that does NOT know you are doing so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silly silly Labor that is when you switch places - he goes to the other side of the door!

 

[Yellow Rose]

Wow, another Monday and no cigars being passed around yet!
Oliver looks miserable that he can't be outdoors with April! Hope she isn't out there having the baby off camera!

4/10 Morning Update

Early morning observations indicate no significant changes in physical appearance. As stated in posts prior - we do not expect any further physical change. We are waiting for increased pacing to indicate an active labor situation has begun, in addition to pushing/contractions. So, be watchful of behavioral changes!

:dunno:

 

[InItToWinIt]

Ms. April has been outside a long time today it seems........:spring:

Awesome I think that is so important

But in fairness to the world, people stand and around Periscope murders

They should have a staff member with a cell phone out there recording this so we can see her outside.
