I'm going in after the baby myself! ;D
Update: Finally! At 8:38 this morning Ballerina had a big, vigorous colt (in the foaling stall, lol). I was watching on the cam and at 8:30 her water broke. By the time I got my coat on and walked the 75' to the barn, his front feet and head were out. Mom was back up in 5 minutes and baby was up in less than 20. Everything was textbook perfect. She passed the placenta in an hour, he was nursing by then and had peed and passed the meconium. As for me, I'm going out for dinner (I haven't been able to go anywhere for about a week now and am a little stir crazy, lol) and then crashing big time tonight.
Here's a few pics and videos I took.
