| Lexie is due July 19th I just want to share my Lexie's pregnancy. She is due to have a "large" litter on July 19th. She got extremly big, so I had her xrayed on about her 50th day, and the vet tech had me come in a room to look at the picture. I was so surprised, then excited, now I am everything especially worried about my little girl. This is a picture of her on her 49th day. I will continue to post pictures as she gets closer to her due date. Please keep us in your prayers.

| 8 is a very very very large litter to have. i don't know what your experience is in breeding but do you understand you will MOST LIKELY need to bottle feed the babies. you need to watch out for ecampsia in the mother. again, i don't know your experience but if you have any questions, you need to ask now before the babies are due. good luck

| Yes, we know it is a big litter, and I have experience, as Lexie has had a litter of 6 before. She is a very good mother, but yes, I will be supplimenting and watching her and her babies very closely. My vet is helping me, and a good friend that is a breeder also that is nearby and is q here for me. I am concerned about ecampsia, and will watch and ask for help if needed. If any of you have any suggestions for me, I am a a forever learner so please share. Like I shared with a few before today, I hesitated to post this any earlier because of some of the negitive posts of some, but as we get closer I just wanted to share so I can get the support of the positive YT posters!! Thank you all for your help in advance!!!

| I set up the whelping pen and got all the supplies together this afternoon. The towels are there, the aspirator was cleaned as were the scissors. I even cut nine different colors of embroidery string so that I can tell my babies apart. The postal scale has new batteries, and a waste can is nearby. I have the ingredients for whelping pudding, and a can of powdered supplement. I am so excited!! What can I still do??

| Oh how exciting! That is a large litter, but sounds like you are prepared. Best wishes to you and Lexie. Will be constantly on the look-out for the thread that says she has delivered.

I had seen your post before this one and it showed her belly... because of your babies belly I started questioning myself whether or not mine was PG. Prior to seeing your baby I was certain. But now... 8 maybe 9 pups... that would explain it. Mine gets its Xray or July 20th.

| OMG!! That is ALOT of babies. I remember when my Trixie was pregnant and got HUGE fast. I didn't think that she would make it to the critical 58 days. She fooled us and carried her puppies 66 days!! She had 7 healthy puppies. I didn't have to supplement the babies and Trixie was a fantastic mom. Fellow YT members helped me through the scary waiting time. I wish you and Lexie all the best and hope that everything goes smooth!! |

| I hope I am ready. I just cancelled swim team conditioning for all next week (I am a high school coach) so I am home 24/7 starting Friday. She is sleeping in our room now, likes the cool tile under the bed, but she moves and I am wide awake. I am so excited, and thanks for your best!!!
