Doesn't look quite like waxing yet. Typically you will see more of a colostrum build up with wax.  However her teats are looking fuller. A picture from further away from under her belly looking up at udder will be helpful, if you can get it. 
I am going to see if I can post a picture of waxing to help...
Ok first pic is of Kate waxing,very slight waxing, foaled 3 days later, with no wax built up, and the second picture is hours before she foaled.
N
Last picture is of typical waxing.
Hope this helps.

If you give a slight squeeze and pull down a tiny bit you may be able to express some milk. That would help you determine if it's turned to colostrum yet.  If it's thin, oily and not sticky to semi sticky, and clear to slightly white, not usually colostrum. But if it's thick ish very sticky yellow to white and not see through that means colostrum is in or coming in.
Most mares will develop colostrum in 24-48 before foaling. Some don't and some have colostrum for days!
I am excited for you and look forward to your updates!!

Your very welcome! 
Yes Precious is due soon, but I dont have a breeding date so I can only guess when she might be due. She is making changes  so I can only watch and wait and hope that I can read her well enough to be there.  I know they were put in the same pen full time March 3rd 2016, But have been on the same property before that,  Not knowing if in the same pasture or not, so honestly no clue when she is due.

Hopefully your mare will also give you clear signs so you can be there too!

She is definitely filling each day and looks like she is starting to relax in her behind, all perfect indications that things are getting exciting for you.

So do you all think I still have a little time???! Would you keep a close eye and not go far from home? Wondering if I should take it serious now or I probably have time because she's not quite ready yet? Or is she?! UGH!

Yeah It wouldn't hurt to be watching her closely at this stage.

As she is presenting you/us with signs that she is getting closer , I think its time :)

Good Luck SueB , Ill be thinking and praying that all goes well in case I miss the big announcement :)

All pretty positive signs that things are moving forward.  Is baby lined up? Pictures please from behind and a full side.

Oooooooooooh shes looking very well! Vulva elongated, boobies almost pointing down. Her belly is dropping and foals not sideways , but still back but coming close to the mid. When it gets to be more along the mid line then you are on constant watch! (but you really are already im sure!) it wont be too long now. within a week or so by my guess.

Ill vote an xmas baby!

Ditto! I think your going to see a big change in her udder when her colostrum comes in.  Her vulva is looking very close!
