Thank you for the advice Rose, you definitely eased my fears
I wasn't aware that the skull stops (slows) growing towards the end, so that is great to hear. Roxie is due anytime between yesterday and the 18th so I am really on edge here!
I was able to get some surgical scissors from my school (I'm in pre-nursing) for the umbilical cord. I know any scissors will do, but these things are neat. And sterile. Haha.
Roxie is laying on my lap right now and I just felt the puppy completely flip around! (Roxie's belly is pressed to my thigh and that pup is wiggling around like crazy in there.) How cool!
