Thank you Flutterbye919, WinstonMom, and peachbongi! It was a wonderful experience and I'll be praying for the same for you. Can't wait to meet the other April puppies.

So Precious went in for her c-section yesterday. She had 2 girls and 1 boy. She was fine at the vet its once we got home my "fun" started. Well since Precious had not had anything to eat since sunday night I really wanted her to have a little something to so her sugars didnt get too low. But of course she wanted nothing to do with the food or water. Thank goodness for whelping pudding! A little later since she still wouldnt eat I gave her some scrambled eggs, she tried to inhale it. The pups wanted to nurse but Precious just wanted to stare and lick them. So with my hubbys help we got her to nurse...only at that point her milk hadnt fully come in. So I was also giving them the bottle to make sure the we're getting enough. I slept with Precious last night...I think between 10pm-5am I got an hour of sleep...but thankfully at 4am she ate some puppy food. And her milk came in a little before that. There is still one girl who doesn't latch on well so I have to help her....she is also the smallest so I am still giving her a little of the bottle to be sure and a little nutrical when she doesnt want to feed. I still have to give Precious water from the syringe to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated. I have a question....Precious loves the whelping pudding but I only give her about 2 spoonfuls at a time and I gave it to her twice yesterday. Can too much be bad or should I try to limit it to a certain amount unless critical?

Again my pic is too big so I put it in the album.

Congratulations on your babies. Sounds like you are doing great. Glad to hear all went well. At this point I would let her lap the pudding up and give her as much as she wants. I mean if she is drinking a gallon then maybe stop her but let her have at it. Maybe her apetite will pick up soon.

Congrats on your new babies

So I took my little Jazz for x-rays this morning. She is due April 23-28. Good news. She has three babies and thankfully they are all about the same size and not so large that she should have any problems delivering them. Of course, her little stomach was filled to the max with food. Trust Jazz never to miss a meal and fill her belly as full as it can get. She has gained a whole pound this past week. Total weight gain so far is two pounds.

Congrats to Jazz. April is month of 3's! Im glad you wont have to have a c-section. It took precious 1 day to get into mommy mode after the c-section. That first day was heck for me.

Hate to break the 3 trend but, just got back with Tink from x-ray and well...

She has 1.

I was really hoping for at least 2. But hey I'm still gonna be grand-fur-mommy! The vet did say she may have two and the little bugger is hiding. Can't decide if I should go for another x-ray next week or not.

Well congrats to both of you on your expected little ones! My first question to both of you is.............."Where's the xray pictures?????"

Audrey: 3 is a great number for a yorkie litter; good chances of the pups being not to big and not to small. Halle's trio all weighed right around 5 ounces at birth.

peachbongi: Did you vet say anything about the size of the pup as far as whelping goes? Halle had a singleton her first litter. He was a whopping 6 3/4 ounces when he was born, but Halle (normal weight about 6 1/2-7 lbs) whelped him with no problems thankfully. I hope Tink's has a trouble free whelp too!

I know, no picture, I forgot my camera. If I have time I will run by the vet's office and take a picture of it.
