Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Lexie's Puppies Are Here! What a day; a mixture of surprise, excitement, a little tension, and finally happy satisfaction that the babies are here and all are well.1 2 3 4 , seemingly health puppies born exactly one week before they were expected. Two boys, two girls; and as tiny as they look they weigh 5oz and 6oz. Pup one, a girl, came at 9:05 this morning, number 2, a boy, arrived shortly after at 9:22am. Then we had a 2 hour break...long enough for me to call in the troops (Lori/DaisyMae06). She arrived at my house in time to see number 3 come into this world at 11:22am, another girl. Even though my husband was here with me through it all, it was great to have her here for moral support and to keep all of you updated on the goings on. I just couldn't tear myself from Lexie's side. Thanks so much Lori! Then we waited...and waited...and waited. At about 2pm Lexie had a few more contractions and we (Lori and I) saw the water bag break. But minutes (which seemed like hours) went by with no puppy and worse yet, no good contractions. And Lori had to leave. I couldn't take it much longer so called the ER Vet. They said if nothing happens in the next 15minutes or so, to bring her in. We did take her, they xrayed to see where the pup was and if it was maybe to big to pass. It had not moved to far, but was small enough to pass, so they gaver her a shot of oxytocin, and boom...within 5-10 minutes number 4 was born, another boy! I was so afraid that he might be still born, but he came out kicking. Mom and pups are feeding and/or resting now. Here are a few pictures to get this thread started. There will be lots more pictures to come between now and 12 weeks, so check back often.

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | ...and after a looooooooong day....and then there were 4 #1 girl - YELLOW - 6oz #2 Boy - RED - 5oz #3 Girl - PINK - 5oz #4 Boy - ORANGE - 6oz We're going to try & come up with names for them. #4 boy will lovingly be called Spook, because he had us spooked when his water bag broke & he wasn't coming. We're still thinking on the others.

| Congratulations! sweet babies, enjoy. I love the third pictures is that daddy up on the couch or another girl taking notes and learning how to be a mommy? |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | No, that's not daddy watching over Lexie and the pups. That's Lexie's "brother" (not really), Lucky. We had him fixed before we knew we would breed. The pups' daddy belongs the the breeder we got Lexie from; he only weighs 4 lbs. Here's the proud daddy's picture

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Oh, they're going to be moved into their box by the end of this evening. That's just where Lexie felt most comfortable having them, so for the moment we let her have her way. She did such a great job, we'll let her have her way for now.

| so true Lexie did so great she was a natural! |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Okay my experts...Lexie hasn't been out to go potty yet since before the pups were born. I carried her to the door when we got back for the er, but when I put her down, she ran (and I do mean ran) right back to her babies. Guess I'll have to carry her all the way outside?????

| Rose, they are so beautiful!! I am so proud of Lexie and you. I am sorry that "Spook" gave you such a scare. Please give each a kiss for us and get rest..you deserve it. I am looking forward to watching them grow.
