Puppies are due this weekend!

[starstella92]

I'm so excited to announce that Maya will be having two babies sometime later this week. We're also very nervous too, as this is not only her first litter but ours as well. We've gotten some great advice either from you guys here on Yorkie talk, our stud's owner, our vet- it's been great! And we've learned so much, but I'm certain there will be so much more to learn. Wish us luck! And I've posted pictures of Maya's little belly, her x-ray (that confirmed the number of pups), and her new haircut. BTW, the veterinarian told us she had a pretty wide birth canal, so he wouldn't be surprised if she hadn't a problem delivering them easily. So, that's good news, but still I guess you never know...
I'll be posting pictures soon, hopefully....

Fun times ahead for you! The x-ray is really clear. Good luck with the whelp. I can't wait to see pics of your pups.

Really clear x-ray! Love how they are facing each other . . . Keep up posted with the whelp! Looking forward to seeing the little babies!

Good luck on your whelping. Looks like there could be a surprise puppy there. Will be interesting to find out.

Now that you say that, I do think that I see 3.

The vet did have a concern about a little mass there at the bottom left of the x-ray (if that's where you're thinking you might be seeing another one), but he acted as though maybe she had ingested something she shouldn't have. He asked if she'd eaten any bones, but of course she has not, nor ever. I don't know what that could be, but he was certain it was not a puppy. They did take two different views, and both times just showed the two; I"m pretty sure he's right. Though, I would love to have three! Wishful thinking...

Well, it will be nice to see what happens. How is she doing today?

She's doing great! I'm now checking her temperature 3 times daily. It's been 100.2-100.6, but the other night it dropped to 99.4 and went back up to 100.2 by the morning. Sooooo...now this morning when I checked it was back down to 99.4 again, I have yet to see what it'll be when I get home. With my luck, it'll pop back up to her normal again. But my boyfriend is with her today, keeping an eye on her every movement, lol. But so far, she hasn't shown any signs of her being in labor. But this is making me so tense, the waiting. Ahhhhh

Your little one is sooo adorable! Good luck with this weekend!
