1. Not pacing now. April is laying down on her side. Babe is coming soon!

2. I hope so.

Very interesting pose - she rests her head on her belly.

3. April is an amazing beautiful creature.

It is if she is comforting her babe before it is born.

4. Unfortunately, it looks like the weather may have taken down their internet connection!

I woke up, this morning, to see the feed has been down since just after 6 am. Hopefully they can get it reconnected. I feel so bad for this place because they have been fighting the rumor that this is a hoax.

And whether I see it live, or on a video play back, I am most anxious for this little one to make it safely into the world. Poor April looks DECIDEDLY uncomfortable!

5. It's back up and she's on her feet again n/t

7. I hope the calf is born today. I have yard work to do, tomorrow!

This has been a very fun distraction at a time when one was very much needed.

8. I bet April hopes it's born today too

I watched the birth of another giraffe on YouTube and it went pretty fast; about 45 minutes total.

9. Yea, I feel so sorry for her because she looks SO uncomfortable

I have certainly learned a whole lot about giraffes, over the past couple of weeks.
