Today, the baby seems to be moving around a lot; and April throws her head back toward her flanks, when it does.
She’s been very restless today/tonight, prancing a lot and laying down less often, as far as I’ve been able to watch; maybe things are imminent. But I think the zoo folks may have gotten her dates wrong - apparently it’s very hard to gauge all of this, with Giraffe ladies ;-)
(Tonight my husband and I were wondering why in the world God dressed her like that; husband thought that she and those ‘decorated’ like her, may have developed in a dry area, where she would look like dry, cracked earth; or maybe like a rocky landscape. Other giraffes seem, to the eye, to be more “spotted”, their coats less delineated):

Very sorry for the triple post! Something’s going wrong - when I try to post, it just hangs forever; and if I try to interrupt it, and initiate the post again, I wind up with numerous posts. The ‘hanging’ has been going on for months; this is the first time that my attempts to override have resulted in multiple posts.

This weekend, there were giraffe babies on the Saturday morning kids' programs. There's something so cute about babies--I get all drippy and gushy about them. Hopefully, April will have a relatively easy and uneventful delivery!
