It's been just about a fullmonthof "Watch April the giraffe give birth," livestreams - and still, no baby giraffe. (Come on, April.)

If you're like us and fully fed-up with this never-ending feed, we come bearing exciting news. According to Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, April's calf is now "moving up and sticking out."

As disgusting as that sounds, it's actually pretty exciting because it means this nightmare is finally almost ov ... oh, what was that? That doesn't mean April is in labor yet? Oh, okay.

"Observation overnight peaked our interest a few times, but nothing to report just yet," the zoo later updated in its report Monday morning. "No pressure April the Giraffe, but April the month isn't far away!"

If you've been (begrudgingly) keeping an eye on the stream, you've probably noticed April has grown a little restless in her pen. The zoo was happy to report that the giraffe-mother-to-be and her mate Oliver will be moving outside as the weather warms up and the snow melts.

Besides her restlessness, the zoo reports April is in “great physical and mental condition,” and the vets who have been monitoring her say they’re happy with her progress. Giraffe pregnancies last up to 15 months (please, God no), and labor lasts anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

April's calf will be the first born at Animal Adventure Park, and should be about 150 pounds and 6 feet tall once it's finally born. One day. One joyous day.

One. sweet. day.
