For anyone who followed April the Giraffe, in 2017, she might be in labor with her latest calf

There's going to be an update at about 7:30 est. (Probably on the Animal Adventure Facebook page)

For me, it's a fun diversion. I'm going through another bout of insomnia, so I'll be keeping the laptop by my bedside, just like I did the last time.

Anyway, for anyone who gets a kick out of watching a live giraffe birth (it's pretty amazing), here's the 'April the Giraffe Cam' link:

Hope this labor doesn't go on for three years like the last one, LOL. I was exhausted for her.

I think Dr. Tim or Corey are going to be checking her, and then probably Jordan will do the update.

I keep my laptop on all night an watch old black and white movies on youtube, mindless old horror movies, and Forensic Files to fall asleep.

If I remember correctly, the first thing you saw was the feet hanging out. It was a while before the calf was born.

It looks like she's progressing, but I remember the last time. Hopefully she won't keep us waiting for that long, this time!
