Look at this poor fat thing! She usually has trips but has gained about 50 more grams so far than her last litter. Praying she doesn't have quads! :handstogether:

She's the mom of our Reserve Champion Standard Female at last years nationals (that was this ** close to being RGSC and pictured in my avatar) and 3 other 1st place and higher chins at nationals this year and some other shows. I've also got two people waiting on standard females out of her so I am very antsy about this litter!
Both of her last litters she's had 2 Females and 1 Male.

She is about to EXPLODE! And she didn't take her shredded wheat this morning so we're thinking it'll be any day now (though I thought she'd have them about a month ago :thinking2: )
Anyone care to guess when and what she'll have this round? (they'll all be standards as she is bred to a Hummel Standard male)

pics (disregard her tattered face and ears - her mom beat her up when she was a baby)

She is so big! Poor thing. I happen to think she is a beautiful little lady.

Oh definitely, she's a sweetheart and a very good mother as well. When I bought her from Shoots he told me "Don't look at her scars, just trust me that she is a really nice animal" - I did and she has done amazingly well for us!
 
Good luck on tomorrow! Hopefully it won't be quads, that's just too many one a mom IMO. I have so many females that are over their due dates right now that it's scaring me and some have gained 300+ grams. I think they're overcooking.

I smell trips and quads in your future lol...

I am going to say trips and in the morning:thumbsup:
 
Awww she is so fat! I have no idea how many babies there will be, but I feel kinda bad for her. Can't wait to hear when she pops! And pictures of her babies!
 
I saw her today. Poor girl. She did perk up for a scratching from your mom. I say tonight or Easter Sunday. I say triplets. Big ones too! She doens't have a bun in her oven. She's going to have pillows!!
 
Mom says she walked in this morning to her laying flat on her back - needless to say Baby scared the **** out of my mom! She's fine, just incredibly uncomfortable. She's not eating as much so is getting CC a few times a day along with our supplement and anything else she'll eat.
Cross your fingers everything goes smoothly!
 
Darn, I don't know if it,s a questions the the year we are in, but I also have a dark tan girl that has gained a little over 310g she is now up to 1334g. I feel for them, it must be so uncomfortable. Can only imagine caring and extra 33% of my weight on my tummy.

Hope these girls get easy during and after the kits have come.
 
Still nothing, mom says she's back to eating hay on her own so that's a good sign! Still awfully uncomfortable. She'll probably pop when my mom leaves to go to VA on wednesday! (But I'm hoping it's tomorrow)
