Nothing from Ollie. I'm glad Livi is showing some progress. I'm very excited for you. You've waited a week for this.

One of my daughters is coming this afternoon, I'm kinda hoping that Ollie has them when she is here.

Good luck to you. I'll keep checking

I 'd say she may start labor then sometime tonight around 10:00
Keep us posted

Jeanie, maybe Ollie will cooperate more than Livi has and she will have them today.

Good luck Tammy. I hope she has them this afternoon. As for her drinking water, I usually don't worry too much about the drinking when they are actually in labor because they usually start throwing up anyway. Giving her a little Nutri-cal occasionally is good. I hope she starts having them this afternoon or sooner.

I thought that we were on our way, but she is now just hanging out with my hubby. He's watching a movie in our bedroom and she's sleeping away on the bed. This has felt like the LONGEST week!

Well it seems to me that with all this "practice"/false alarms Livi has been having, when she does actually whelp I'd think she would be able to just pop them right out! Let's hope so.............and let's hope it's today.

Over the years I have had some whelping like this. It does get so frustrating. Does it feel like the pups are dropped and ready to be born?

I hope that today is the day for Livi and I hope that it is also the day for Ollie I am praying for safe whelps for all the mommas and families

I can still feel puppies in the sides of her tummy...her sides still stick way out. But I can also feel puppy parts ( ) in the middle of her tummy....fairly low. She has stopped panting but is now breathing very hard....still sleeping, though. Is her rapid breathing normal? I am just so worried about things stopping and starting and with her being a week overdue.

I can understand your worrying. It does seem like she should have had them by now. I just pray the pups will not be too big for her to pass. The rapid breathing would be normal if she is in labor. Is it warm in your house? I worry about pre-eclampsia also. I have never experienced it but I know others have. If she is resting well then I don't think it would be that because I think they real restless with pre-eclampsia. Gee, don't you wish they could just talk and tell us what is going on.

At this point she sounds normal to me. She sounds a lot like my Tiffany the day before she actually delivered. But I hope that Livi is not going to make anybody wait that long Come on Livi we are all ready to meet your babies
