The Waiting Game
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: "Your Touch" by Seal on WEIB 106.3 fm
When you have any animal bred, it is always a waiting game, and the same goes with rabbits. While Annie has built a beautiful nest, and is enjoying pats on the head, she has me playing the waiting game. When it is still cold outside, it is always a good idea to check on the expectant mother often to see if she has delivered her babies. Sometimes, new moms (and even seasoned ones), don't deliver in the nest so sometimes it is possible to save the babies if you get out there in time. Annie is eating less, and I'm taking that as a good sign. Her official due date is the 12th, but rabbits can deliver at 26 days, or wait as late as 38 days (this happened to another mini-lop doe I had). So for now, we play the waiting game.

Not much knitting going on, because my sleep schedule is slightly messed up again, and I'm too tired at 8 p.m. at night to pick up the needles. However, I have almost the whole day ahead of me to do what ever I want (with the exception of a lot of laundry that needs washing), so maybe I'll get my first sock done.
