Since you are now on day 59, you've got about 4 days to learn everything. A $100 investment in an xray is not that much to spend to verify that the pups are not too large for her to deliver and also tell you how many to expect. The amount of radiation in a single shot is minuscule. You need to be prepared to spend a lot more than $100 in the event she needs a c-section or has other complications. Do you have a credit card with nothing on it that you can use in an emergency? You might also want to consider applying for Care Credit at the vet's office.
You now say it was a Chi that is the potential father, but the other day you listed several other breeds. Unless your groomer saw the tie, how is she suddenly so sure? And if she did witness it, why didn't she tell you?
Start looking through the stickies in the breeding section and googling whelping on youtube. You need to be prepared to tear the sacs and cut the umbilical cords. You will also need to familiarize yourself with signs of potential complications such as a stuck pup and eclampsia.
