WOW I was hoping to see some pups but I'll keep praying and waiting.

i cannot believe there is still no update??????? please let everything be ok

Hi everyone... I am so, so sorry! My whole system crashed lastnight as I was writing you all an update. No... no puppies yet! :thumbdown

Nothing has changed at all & we are still waiting :( I'll write more & give you better details after I finish setting things up, but at least I can tell you she's not had them yet for now.

Once again I am so very sorry!!!

Happy to see that you are okay. Looking forward to puppies....Sharon

Thanks for the update we were really getting worried.

Yeah, I really feel terrible worrying everyone like that.:(

As I was trying to say late lastnight... her temp just keeps rising & falling between 98.7 & 99.8, so I too think it will most likely drop to or below the 98.0 mark when she's truly ready. Baby's are still moving around, and the poor girl has bums, feet & heads partruding contstantly.

I love the names Dawn, and just might use them~ :D

I am most definately tired of the ups & downs & highs & lows she's
been puting me through... she's almost actually taken all the excitement & fun right out of it for me at this point. Now I'm just ready to get this all over with :rolleyes: It's almost worse than when I had my first daughter. Original due date they gave me was Dec 24 & I didn't end up having her until Jan 27 :eek: ...longest pregnancy in history I swear! The beginning parts of my labour lasted days & I still had only dialated 3cm. Needless to say it was a c-section in the end. Which is what I'm thinking may end up happening here if these pups continue to grow.:(

I'm sure just like with me, it will all be worth it in the end, it's just the getting there part that's driving me crazy.

I have some chicken in chicken broth ready for her, gerber baby food actually... and tums on hand instead of the ice cream for now. If I get out of the house tonight I'll grab some vanilla ice cream, and put the tums away for me... think I'm going to need those myself :rolleyes:

I keep hoping to hear about the "twins" but maybe tomorrow...:)

Yeah... that's what I keep telling myself too "lol" Oh well, it's gotta happen sooner or later I suppose.:rolleyes:
I did forget to mention that I noticed she started producing milk on Monday night. Her belly also looked quite a bit diferent as of Tuesday. The babies seem to be lower or something. She looks a bit thinner around the spine area now & it appears more bulgy under the belly.
The babies heads are definately facing her rear now too, so they did turn at some point. :thumbup:
I sure hope she's not one of those dogs that waits the 68 or 69 days... I don't think I'll be able to last that long.:( I havn't had a proper sleep in days now as it is. We're already at day 65 so it can't be too far away now.

No worries though... you wonderful folks will be the first I notify when it all starts I promise! :D

Sounds like they may have dropped and be getting into position. Be prepared, half the pups born are born posterior. Remi just had 2 and they were both posterior, the last one was a dry birth. Poor fella was hanging by his armpits for a while before I could get him unstuck!

come on lilly.......i really do hope everything goes smoothly for you.

I was hoping to see that the babies were here. I will keep checking like every one else. lol

I wish you the best and safe delivery. My little Peanut decided to wait till day 69 to whelp, so I totally understand your lack of sleep issues. Take power naps it helps!!

Praying for a Safe and Quick Delivery. Hugs and Kisses to your little girl Lily

I woke up all excited, I thought maybe this morning was it, but nope!:(
At some point this morning Lilly had gotten gotten out of my bed & I woke up to find her in her whelping box! I realized within just a few seconds that she just couldn't get back into my bed so found a comfy spot to relax in. She wasn't panting or anything, just licking her lips alot. As soon as I was out of bed so was she. I took her for her pee, let her drink some water, then proceeded to check her temp as usual. I just about had a jammer when the thermometre read 101.7 :eek: Then I remembered I had put the heating pad on the one side in her whelping box just in case she decided to sleep in it & got cold :rolleyes: No wonder her mouth was so dry 'lol'

Anyhow, the vet called this morning to see how we were doing and assured me that she has no concearns unless we go past day 69, and not to worry.

Gee, I keep checking to see if Lilly had her pups yet.... I guess she will deliver when she is ready!!! Hoping for an easy delivery!!

Id be nervous too! Good luck ; )

Remember ....
All good things come to those who wait. :)

so we are at day 66? is this right?

Yes, it's day 66 now.

Just checking on Lilly.
:ghug: :ghug:

Lillllllllllllllllllllllllllllly, we wanna see them puppies.:animal-pa

Hi this is my first time posting anything. I sure hope I can get all of your wonderful expertise when its time for my baby to have her babies:)

My baby Mia will be having her first litter, next week! We are just so excited:) I'm sure Mia is ready for the precious little ones to make their world debut. The Vet said he expects for her to have 4-5 little ones.

I just hope and pray they are all healthy!

lily I wish you a safe, happy and most of all healthy whelping!

You might want to have the vet check things out today (Friday, 8/31) since it's a holiday weekend. Why do our pets always pick a late night, weekend after vet hours, or a holiday to give birth, get sick, etc.?

Just a quick update before I head off to bed... nope, still no puppies:(

Its now 3:30am, the start of day 67 & I am really starting to get worried for her now:confused:

She is acting quite restless tonight and is having a really hard time getting comfortable. No doubt with how big & tight her belly is now. The babies are still moving around, but I would guess with difficulty. The pups are definately heading toward her canal now, since I can feel they are quite low. She's not sleeping tonight like she has been lately, but her temp is still sitting at 99.6... and she ate her canned food dinner earlier this evening just fine, so I dunno?

I will most definately be calling the vet by early afternoon if still no change. My main concearn at this point is that these pups are growing too big for her to push out on her own. :confused: She's now too heavy for my scale to register so I can't even tell how heavy she is anymore. She started out at 3 lbs 11 ounces... the scale won't register after 5 lbs 11 ounces... so we know she's heavier than that.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed it happens today maybe? :confused:

Well goodnight all from both Lilly & I, and we will keep you all posted as we go:)

I'd call the vet in the morning as they may be closing early for the holiday weekend, and you don't want to land up at the ER.

67
 

It is day 67, a 3 pound bitch...and a holiday weekend..I would be at the vet this AM with a planned c-section...BUT that is me and things can go wrong with a planned section..but 67 days is no way acceptable if you are positive there was only one breeding..I wish you tons of good wishes...

yes....contact the vet. she would hold out till the holiday weekend. DO YOU HAVE LABOR DAY WEEKEND?

Checking in on Lilly....
Praying that today is the big day...:)

I agree totally with you Pat. 3 pound bitch is enough to throw me into panic mode, let alone the holiday weekend.....If she were mine, I'd be at the vet's screaming.

Good Luck and Prayers are with you.
