Thank you so much for your kind words. We are headed into night one and I just want everyone to be safe. My husband and I are taking turns checking on mom and pup. I just don't trust mom to be alone with her while we are not right there watching. I have mommy in a kennel next to the little box we made for the puppy. The heating pad is under the box on low and their is a very soft and warm blanket for the puppy. She seems very warm and happy. I am going to get up about every hour (husband rotating) and lay mom with baby and let her feed and snuggle up. I have the blanket with baby smelling like mom and the blanket with mom smelling like baby. They are both in our bedroom and I think I am going to keep it that way until I see some major improvements...it might be awhile. I figure it is just like having my own newborn. I am a mommy myself and actually pregnant myself so I feel like I have a good mommy sense about me.
Again I would appreciate any advice. Thank you soooo much for being there in our baby girls time of need. |
