Fat or in foal

Eeek saw this thread had got busy overnight and was hoping for good news!! Well done Mary! You must be so pleased :) What a gorgeous filly :)

Thank you for sharing with us all! I've been following for a while now and it's been great to follow Mary's story :D
 
We have a beautiful bay filly (I think, anyway). After the quickest and most textbook delivery ever, foal was on its feet and suckling in record time. She's spent the time since zooming around at full speed with poor Mary looking on in horror, before collapsing in a heap and having a doze. She's genuinely the most perfect baby I've ever seen! :D

Oh yay!!!! She certainly coulldn't have missed that milk bar!
 
I had to check before heading off to work, and got very excited when I saw the page count had jumped from 66 to 76 overnight.

Firstly I am so so pleased it all went smoothly for all concerned, and secondly just to add my comment on general gorgeousness of little Mayflower...she was so worth the wait!!

Finally, a huge thank you to the stars of the show, JJS and the beautiful Mary. Well done ladies - have a lovely first day with your new addition :)
 
Everyone, please meet my bold and beautiful little Mayflower!

Such a beautiful face; just like her mum.
 
Oh Mayflower is just gorgeous, just look at that face :)

What a wonderful way to start the day, Mary is just so lovely too

Congratulations to you
 
Congratulations, Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
It brought back so many memories from when my boy was born, it is such a magical experience and time, enjoy every moment as they grow up fast! my lad is now 10 and I've no idea where that time went.
 
Awww oh this makes me so happy! Definitely felt a little emotional seeing the foal pictures... congratulations to you and Mary. I've loved following your story, you best keep us updated on Mayflower's progress now!! :) I think your 'fat or in foal' question has definitely been answered ;)
 
Well,, dammit!! The first night in ages I didn't get up and what happens?

She is gorgeous, congratulations to Mary, well worth waiting for.

Mary looks very laid back about it all, bless her.
 
I knew foaly must have arrived when I logged on and saw it had shot up to 77 pages! Was trying to go back to where I'd left off yesterday without seeing any spoilers.

Well done Mary and welcome to the world little Mayflower! So pleased for you JJS, they're both gorgeous.
