We are down to the last week of waiting.

I started the temperature chart today. 99.8 this morning. Very normal for her stage of pregnancy.

Today I am reworking and rearranging the (now feeling very tiny) whelping room. Washing all the bedding, cleaning the box again. All the girls like the box. They like to come a lay down in it, so it needs vacuuming and wiped down.

I've gotten my forms ready so I can document each puppy from birth. I will keep records of birth order, weights, all medical attention, etc on each puppy. A copy of this will go home with each new puppy person.

My equipment from WhelpWise should be here on Monday, and I will go Mon or Tues to pick up my meds from the repro vet. I am still not sure if I'm going to exray her or not.

Puppies are moving a lot today. :D I'm excited, nervous, and really looking forward to a box of squirming puppies.

I'm sure Penny is really looking forward to them squirming OUTSIDE her body instead of inside it.

She is just fine. We visited the Repro vet this afternoon to discuss a few things. Mainly, her 22 lb weight gain. Which is all in the belly. Considering this substantial weight gain, with only 6 fetuses being seen on both ultra sound exams, we came to the conclusion that an exray to determine the number of puppies was a good decision. If there are only 6 puppies, with that degree of weight gain, we could be looking at delivery issues because of very large puppies, or possibly a scheduled section.

So in spite of my reservations about doing it, we exrayed her. There are a lot of puppies. I won't say how many, don't want to spoil the anticipation for any of you, but let's just say there are more than 6 and I am going to be busy.

:D

ROFL!!!! No sleep for you! How exciting though. I bet they will all be beautiful. This happened to my friend with her litter of bullmastiffs. She whined to me for weeks wondering if her dog was pregnant and then she had ten puppies! Now I am in her shoes...is she or isn't she, the suspense is killing me!

I am so happy for you and this litter! But, I still think you should share the estimated number of pups because there are usually more than what show up on film and we can still guess!

I am really enjoying this WhelpWise equipment.

She had 3 contractions during her session this morning. They want me to monitor her again about 1pm.

I would expect if things do get in motion, it would be in the wee hours of tomorrow morning.

Stay tuned.
