Photos leading up to and including ovulation

Since this is my first season breeding, I wanted to document my pastel het hypo girl with photos to see the changes over time leading up to her ovulation (today, March 11). I'd also like to point out that Jerry guessed March 10 as the ovulation date. He wins based on The Price is Right rules. :)

February 4: I first documented her glow on camera.

February 6: Jerry makes his guess. For the record, her pre-ovulation shed was January 16.

February 15: Horrible flash photo, but focus on her girth.

March 6: I jumped the gun and thought, "This is it!" Wrong!!! She was really swollen in person though. :oops:

March 11: Ovulation!

There you have it! I now have an understanding of what people mean when they say, "You'll know it when you see it."
Thanks for looking!

That's cool. Thanks for posting all that. And, congrats!!!

Thanks DooLittle! It's really cool to have it all in one place and not all over my facebook. I can really see how she changed over the past few weeks. :D

I commented on this in another thread. People say het hypo has no markers. I disagree... I find them to be cleaner than a normal and that cleanliness is much more obvious on a morph than a normal, but it is still there in a normal if you look just right.

I'm far from being an expert, but I think you're right, she seems absurdly clean to me compared to most pastels.

I'm definitely in your camp on this one. This girl has aged very gracefully.
