Still waiting!
« on: December 11, 2009, 03:18:49 pm »
Well Bluebell, my GOS, was due to farrow around 8th December......I'm still waiting.

She's quite restless today, and bagging up.......So hopefully not too much longer to wait for the patter of tiny trotters  :love: :pig: :love:

Waiting around is always the worst part eh? I hope she goes soon and all goes well.

Give her a curry, a beer and take her for a drive over the fields - worked a treat for me  ;)
But seriously, I hope it all goes well and look forward to seeing your photos  ;D

Thank you everyone.  I'm so excited....The waiting is killing me!   A bit like when I was little at Christmas time.....But even better  :)

Bluebell had a restless night...and not just because I was checking her every hour! lol......But no piglets yet.

I've got the camera ready.

Maybe today is the day?!?!?

Digital camera at the ready......Thanks for reminding me about the batteries Hilarysmum, put new ones in just in case.

A few drops of milk, but not lots of it.  So a bit more time to go then.

It's a nice change to have some sunshine here today.  All the pigs are outside enjoying it.....it's very welcome after all the rain we've had.  Hopefully the sun will help dry out some of this mud.


I'm off to join them.....Continuing the piglet watch  :love: :pig: :love:

Bluebell finished farrowing around 2 this morning.  What a lovely Mum she is.

Pictures to follow later today.
