Mercy me, let us know what your vet says. WOOOOOHOOOO! Preggers after all!!

Glad to know that about the x-ray date. My vet told me I could have it done at 45 days. Oh well. I know better now. My boyfriend just came home from work and found another heartbeat! So two heartbeats now! I hope he's right. I don't think maddie could handle one huge puppy at only 5 lbs.

I was told day 45 was a good day, but I learned that it was better to wait. Less up's and down's that way too. I am so glad to hear that there are babies coming. Are you able to feel the movement yet. You can lightly press on the lumps and they will usually kick back. I was able to feel Belle's pups that way. I would lightly pat her belly and that would get them rolling around. It is just as great feeling their little kicks as it is when you are pregnant yourself. IMO i might get to attatched to Belle's pregnancy though=).
