So we opted to go home and let nature take its course. Twinkles is resting comfortably in her whelping bed and I am going to crash on the couch. But we all feel better knowing Mom and babies are all OK! What a night! Thanks for hanging in there with me tonight, Jaded Smilez,

Well, it looks like we may have had a false start!
or else Twinkles just had a bad case of diarhhea that caused her to have some braxton hicks contractions....... (and made Grampy and I lose a night's sleep). She is resting in her whelping box and all is quiet. I am exhausted....... trying to get rest for the next round of excitement.
Thanks to everyone who was awake and sent messages of encouragement last night. It was comforting to know there was someone at the other end of the YT Forum..... As much as I have read (maybe too much, or just enough to scare myself to death) and as prepared as I feel I am, when it came right down to it, I was powerless over the whole situation. The one thing I did do right was to keep calm and not go crazy.... and I did a lot of praying.
More later when there is something to report beside POOP!
Bless all of you!
