Wow, that's a long time to wait. Are there any signs of impending delivery?

Well prepare to wait a while longer, especially with a maiden. You still have a couple of weeks until her due date. Best of luck to you both.

Congratulations!

If she's going to be grey, you will usually be able to see a few grey hairs around her eyes (or grey eyelashes.)

Our grey boy was born jet black with a huge star and connected stripe. He is now 2 and still black with grey in his coat. The point is, they can take time to become totally grey. You can usually tell by the grey or white hairs around the eyes. If she has nothing yet, wait a couple of months, it will show up. I hope this helps.

I had the same problem with posting pictures. zenn21 provided the following link:

Very easy to follow instructions.
Good luck! I would love to see pictures of your baby.
