I wish I could give you all a big hug for all the support and great advice.

you've been given very good advice and appears youve really done your home work, kudo's!
best wishes to a beautiful free whelp! stay calm, breathe when necessary, keep the coffee pot hot!
Keep shoes, car keys, cell phone charged and ready to go, all close to the front door.
One thing to keep an close eye on if she dispels all the placenta, if you have the slightest thought she retained any you need to get an oxytocin short to clear her out.
You mentioned, changing you moms diet once she whelped to her original diet...you want to continue to supplement her throughout her nursing....Always dry quality puppy food...Mixing her fav's like cottage cheese, cheese, goats milk, canned puppy food, yogurt, boiled eggs, boiled chicken, white rice, chicken broth....anything, everything, when ever she wants it, specially if she has a large litter!
hope this helps
good luck and enjoy the little miracles as they arrive!
