With Christina's due date passing yesterday, the twins ask regularly, "can we go count cows?" Then they run out to check her.
I went out and she didn't even come over to say "hi." She just finished her drink and walked away, slowly and heavily. She looks really round and fat to me.
Her udder seems like it's swelling too. I looked back at some old pictures to make sure that I'm not seeing things, and it really does seem rounder (she also seems a little swollen and red under the tail). Maybe she really is pregnant! Maybe she feels just like I did before I went into labor — heavy and tired.
In hopeful optimism, we are washing the milk buckets, getting an area ready for the little calf, and keeping a close eye on her. I think I'll go read the chapter on calving again.
