Hurray!!! found out that ginger is going to be a mommy

. She is due on
september 4th. I have the puppies a play pen that i bought from petsmart. I think that I will let her whelp in the play pen it is plenty big enough. I will put down lots of pee pee pads and newspapers because I heard it gets very messy. I have been putting her in the play pen at night to help her get use to being in there. I think that this will be the best place for the puppies to stay until they get a little older. Ginger is getting so big!!! She has gained about 1 1/2 pounds and she is all belly!!! Any suggestions about the whole birthing thing?? I am getting extremely nervous because this is her 1st litter.
