Yes, she is confined to 1 room and a hall. No area's she can sneak into. LOL (Too much junk around) Supplies are ready and I am staying in the computer room with her. She did not like me trying to clean her. Would immediately try to lick it when I was trying to get the hair seperated. She has already had a maternity cut done a few weeks ago just in case she was pregnant. Have not heard from vet but we won't till things start moving. Right now she is calm and I am sitting here with a migraine. Lack of sleep will do that to me.

She does not seem stressed or in pain. Breathing is heavier at some times than what it is at others so I think contractions are still mild.

You better take some Excedrin, it's gonna be a long night. I'm here, waiting...

Just took some Excedrin Migraine so that should start to work soon. Also just turned the heating pad on in the puppy box so that will be warm and ready. Now we just wait and see what happens. I will be here too. Not going anywhere for awhile.

You haven't mentioned your friend - Bella's owner. Is she helping you at all? Even just to help monitor her girl?

Except for us here, I think she is on her own.

Emotional support is invaluable, but unless somebody takes a shift on that computer room floor so that this poor lady can get some real sleep, it's going to be tough.

Not getting any help or concern from Steph. I am friends with her mom and her mom is the one that told me to go get the girl from her. Stephanie had no problems letting me take her since she has a lot of issues going on now. (She is young and does stuff she really shouldn't). I already told her mom that I would be placing the puppies in homes and she had no problems with that. I am not sure if Bella will be going back to her but since she is not checking in I don't think so. I will most likely keep her since I am very attached to her right now. She will be spayed so if she does go back there will NEVER be this issue again.

Won't be going to sleep anytime soon. Was going to try to lay down for a little bit but she is now starting to nest. Don't know if she is just getting blankets comfortable or not but she has done it several times while I was typing this message. She does it for a little bit then lays down and then does it again. Looks like me and the 5 hour energy drink will be best friends tonight.

Most of my emotional support is coming from the friends I have made here. I have talked to a few ladies that have been a great help and said I could call if I have problems. Other than that, I just have a few people outside of this forum that I have talked too besides the vet. The rest I have had to do and learn on my own.

I guess we are the shift "on the computer room floor" so to speak. We are here, we are here, we are here(Horton Hears a Who)

LOL...that was cute. Thanks for all the help and support. I could not have found a better place or a better group of people. I know everything will be just fine.

Nothing yet?

Checking in for an update... Call if you need anything.

Thanks Melissa, nothing yet. She has been pacing around for a little while and licking more but we are back resting some. Still has periods of heavier breathing but nothing that is a solid pant yet. My guess is she won't do anything till morning. But then again I am no expert. LOL

just got done reading this whole thread....any puppies yet?

nope, we are still waiting

I have had them do what your explaining for a week. Some taking their temp works but for the most part it just drives me crazy to watch it go up and down. This part drives me crazy.. Im not good at waiting. Lol. Sounds like you are prepared and have a good vet so try to relax.. Yeah right.. Lol. Every whelp I gain 10 pounds and don't sleep for a week. Lol
