Thank God every day you have your beautiful Diva, I would change places with you in a heart beat!
One of my bitches that I bred and co-own whelped this past weekend and she had 2 babies, the first one fine and the second one came belly first and no one was able to save it BUT Mom and baby boy are doing fine.
I told someone that it should be written some where that ALL first time breeder have a problem and that way you weed out the ones that are serious and dedicated and can handle problems. SOOOOO many people think you just put 2 dogs together and get the perfect puppies.
Having your bitches spayed first before selling is a GREAT idea. What a lot of people don't realize is a lot of the dogs registered with the other resigteries are ones that were bought with spay/neuter contracts and somewhere down the line they decided to breed them. Without AKC full registration they turn to another registery/
So happy all is well with your girl
