Twinkles is in actual labor! Temp dropped last night to 98.6 (lowest so far for her). Of course it went back up to 100.4 this morning, but I am ignoring that because she has all the other signs: panting, shivering, contractions, mucousy discharge from vulva, squatting like she had to poop, refuses to eat (will eat ice cream and NutraCal) and is staying in her whelping box! When she tries to stand up, her legs won't hold her up, they shake so badly (reminds me of my own labor).
Experts- am I right - is this really labor? or am I fooling myself (again?).
Please, please, please tell me this is it!

PS - is it normal for her little heart to pound so hard? I know this is hard work for the little girl, but it is scary for this old lady!
