Babies, Babies, Babies!

Once again we are falling behind drastically on our blog and miss hearing from everyone. Our barn is overrun with mares due any moment and the house is starting to fill up with baby things again at a fast pace as I only have approximately 6 more weeks to go. The mares are fairing nicely in their newly completed stalls but I have been getting grumpier and grumpier by the day. (John might phrase it differently but he has gotten off fairly lightly in the foaling out duties so I don't want to hear about it.) Sleep is getting uncomfortable and I seem to constantly have heart burn and/or feel sick to my stomach. Pixie had a black filly last weekend so Aidan is very excited that he got a black one of his own to keep. (One of our customer horses had a black colt that they took home and he was very broken hearted that it couldn't stay with us.) We call her Charlotte and plan on registering her as Miss Spider. She is completely black and her legs are so long that she stands up to the top of my stomach. Goose is slightly overdue so she should go soon. As soon as her baby stretches out we'll take some pics and get them up. Aidan is just loving life right now with all of "his" babies around and so many stalls to clean. Today is Derby Day and he has been talking non-stop about going to Churchill Downs (he loves the food!) so we may try to go on Mother's Day if no mares look as if they are going to go while we're gone. Hopefully I will be able to post again soon but we love you all!
