Karmelita is expected to give birth first. While her early date is this Friday she really is not expected to give birth until the middle of June. On tuesday though her morning behavier was noticably different. She was cushing (sitting down) more, did not follow the other females around, and seemed to go the manure pile but not have any activity. All these can be signs of giving birth. We hemmed and hawed on whether is was actually happening or not (being the first for us) and decided that it really was too early. We did have the local dairy farmer though pop in about 10am just to double check to make sure things were not happening as the prelabour period is upto 6 hours.
Of course nothing was happening but got us thinking about the natal process more. While karmelita is still showing this different behavier, we are assuming that is because it is close and not actually there yet. But it is things to start to watch for.
Note: must gather the recommended items for a neo-natal kit.
