Huge congratulations on your up & coming litter
I just went through all this a few days ago (1st litter ever as well) and I can totally understand how you feel, nervous, excited & on the edge of your seat waiting for every sign.. I was a complete wreck
I noticed when my little girl was close to ready (a few hours before) her pups weren't moving much anymore at all. She went into her whelping box & started turning in circles, then digging like a little mad woman, then turning & digging... only relaxing for a minute or so every few minutes. Her temps fluctuated quite a bit between 99 & 100, but on the actual day it seemed to go down to 98.3-98.7 & stayed down there for about 8-10 hours prior.
I hope all goes well for you, and it sounds like your litle girl has some experience... so I'm sure she will do just fine. She will most likely be calmer than you are through it all, if your anything like me "lol"
Best wishes & I hope to check back soon & read all about it :-)
