She’s just hanging around, doing her normal.

Mom pushed them out of the nest : so last night the girls wanted to come in as usual around 900pm it was dark and they huddle around their gate making noise until I come to save them and take them in, except this time I noticed “waffle” was panting more than usual , and she grows so much even from the night prior like she had no room in their plastic tote that they sleep in inside over night . They usually get excited I give them a little water they shower me with kisses and chew at my hair while I bend over their tote to put them to sleep , I always read ducks are not like other animals and stay up playing all night . I would sleep in living room or check on them through out the night and my girls would sleep throughout the night . If anything sometimes I hadn’t to wake them up in the morning . I think we both felt safe And comfortable knowing we’re together inside , I loved walking around and hearing waffle occsssionally quack at me if I was talking loudly , or the recent thunderstorms we had when lightning struck and I kept them near the window I would run down stairs to check them and they would be so scared ! I would move them and calm them down reminding them I’m always there . So back to main point , I see waffle way too big and is now panting like unusually , so I knew it was time for a change , my husband said Jill we have to move them outside where they belong that’s why we made them that beautiful house , their going to be fine , so I unloaded the girls outside and they were hesitant but followed me to their ducky reservation lol , and I started crying , I haven’t cried like this in such a long time , it was so hard for me to say okay God here your in control lol not me and trust him that he will keep my girls safe , I pet them and closed their door and as I looked back going inside they sat next to their door wondering if I wasn’t coming back , I watched them through my window a few times I got up last night and they sat next to their door all night even though they have a sheltered area , I cried my self to sleep , but I felt throughout this journey I have put my blood sweat and tears into raising these girls, now I have my baby coming and I am a little relieved because it was soooo much easier just opening their gate this morning and letting them eat rather than the whole transition from inside to outside and the clean up of their tub. All in all they did good but I’m great ful I have a window that I can loook out and see them perfectly , you know just Because I’m a over protective momma!!!!!
