Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | 7 Weeks Today! Well, Halle hit the 7 weeks mark today (give or take a few days). I must admit, this pregnancy has been driving me crazy with doubt. Even after seeing one puppy on the ultrasound, I have still often worried about whether or not she was truly pregnant. I'm not really sure why; maybe because we did only see one puppy and I was fearful of it being reabsorbed. Not ever having experienced a possible singleton pregnancy, I think I was also expecting too much too soon in more noticeable belly changes. But I am finally feeling a little more sure of the pregnancy the last few days. Halle's sides and belly are now continuously looking fuller, & earlier this afternoon I think I actually felt a solid lump (for just a second or two) that may have been a puppy! Anyway, the 7 week mark means that it's belly picture time again! For some reason beyond my understanding, Halle just doesn't get nearly excited about this as I do. Still ever reluctant to lay on her back for a picture (even propped up with a pillow), I once again had to call on hubby for help. So, here she is! 8-6 Halle's PG belly @ 7wks.jpgFront view 8-6 Halle's belly @ 7wks.jpgSide view 8-6 Pretty mama to be.jpg......and the beautiful mama-to-be!

| Halle is stunning! <3 Her belly looks just like Roxie's. And I know how you feel. I didn't get a u/s though, so my doubt was pretty high as to if she was preg or not. Roxie is at day 52 now and I am excited to say that I now KNOW for sure she is pregnant. LOL you'd think I would have known sooner, eh? (It's like when I was pregnant with my children. I knew I was pregnant but it didn't sink in until I felt them kick.) Last night as I was rubbing Roxie's belly, I felt a pup! I could even tell that what I was feeling was a head, and a limb. It was wriggling around, and it was the coolest thing to feel. I think it's just the one puppy in there, on her right side. I gently felt around on the left side and didn't feel a thing. If it's only one, that explains why her belly is still smallish. I was hoping for two, because I hear that singletons are larger. I guess time will tell! Three more days until her x-ray. Last night she was licking her rear end for hours. She kept me up until 4 am! And she wouldn't snuggle with me. She was super restless. Based on the wacky times that she tied, I think she's due the 18th but it could also be as soon as the 10th I doubt it is the latter though. She wasn't in heat when I left her, so it would have been too soon. Sorry for rambling on and on, ha ha. |

| Roxie is the pickiest eater ever. I'm starting to get worried. She hasn't touched her food in days! The only thing she'll eat is eggs, and she can't live off those alone. She'll eat one morsel of food here and there, but mostly she ignores her food bowl. This morning I cooked her an egg and she barked at me the entire time I was cooking it. When I put it down for her, she raced over and gobbled it up like she was starving. I had to crush up her kibble into microscopic pieces with a potato masher and tried to mash it all together with the egg but she still managed to eat the egg and leave all of the tiny crumbles of dog food in her bowl. Sigh! I guess I'll have to try canned dog food to entice her but I don't want her to get diarrhea. She'll just eat around the kibble if I mix it in. |

I'm still waiting to actually see and feel the baby(s) move in her belly, but yes I do feel more confident within the last few days. Feeling the babies move is an awsome experience. Please be sure to take your camera with you for the xray & get a picture or two if you can to share with us. Three more days; is that on Monday then? I can't wait to see. Definintely try some canned food for her. I've been giving Halle Wellness canned puppy food and (yes I know it's not the best) Cesars Puppy food in those little tubs. She actually prefers the Cesars; I figure at this point it's better that she is at least eating something. I too try to throw in a little puppy kibble....even have also done the grinding it up.....and yes, Halle will lick all the wet food off then drop the kibble back in the bowl. I sure hope I can get her back on the kibble when she is done with this pregnancy and nursing.

| Well, I couldn't wait! I had the xray done today instead (actually, two, because she 'has a lot of bowel' and it was a little obstructive), luckily they had a few appointments open due to cancellations. The good news is, she is indeed pregnant. Unfortunately there is only a singleton pup! The vet thought he saw two skulls but he couldn't be sure, even with the two xrays. There was only one visible spine. So, who knows, but I guess I'll just count on having one puppy. The number isn't what disappoints me, just the fact that singletons are larger. Her pelvis is a bit small so it's worrying to me. Vet said it looks as if the puppy will be able to pass safely thru, though. They will be emailing the xrays to me. They said to wait about 24 hours, so hopefully I'll be able to post them tomorrow and you guys can share your opinions! |

| Oh I know it would scare me as well only having one. THey have more room to grow. Try not to worry too much though. If doc sais it will be fine then go with it. If there is a problem just make sure you have a back up plan. Cant wait to see those xrays! How far is she again? Mine is due on the 26th from first tie. CHristina |

| She is due on the 18th.. so only 11 more days! I guess I should have waited a couple more days for the xray as she is only 52 days today, but the pup showed up on film so it all worked out. I'm praying there are two puppies, since the vet thought he might have seen a second skull, but I have a feeling it's only one. I have only been able to feel one when I'm rubbing her belly, on the right side. I actually can't even feel her uterine horn on the left at all, so it's probably empty lol. |
