Almost at the five month mark, Charm seems to be doing well. I took a trail ride out yesterday, and one of the riders asked me if Charm knows she's pregnant. I don't think so, but what would she be thinking if she did know? Would she worry about the health of her foal like we, as mothers-to-be, worry about our unborn babies? Maybe horses are better off -- they can skip that whole part of the process. When I was in my early pregnancy with Jordan, I had a lot to worry about: my mother was in one hospital with advanced colorectal cancer, and my husband was in another hospital with MRSA. Good times. The only thing that got me through was knowing that I was pregnant, that I had to take care of myself for the sake of my baby. It created a bond between me and my son that I can't really explain. Of course, now that he is a mouthy 17-year-old, it's a bit hard to remember what that felt like.


Our vet Dr. Bob Smith will be doing a five month pregnancy check at the end of the month. Stay tuned -- hopefully we'll get some sonogram pictures.
