Wednesday March 11, 2009 - Day 50

Those pups are really moving a lot! My human mommy said that she felt them last night moving so much. It's really nice to feel them moving in there but I can imagine about a week or two from now I may not have the same sentiment.

For those of you who are interested, the official HEIDI CAM is up and running. I don't go near the box yet but you can get set up and ready to view the birth when it happens. You will need Yahoo Messenger and a Yahoo screen name. My screen name is Babes4Heidi. My human mommy will add you when she can but if she doesn't recognize your screen name she may ask who you are. Don't get upset at her. She just doesn't want too many unnecessary folk watching my business, if you know what I mean. During my last birth, there were 5 folks online with a total of 9 watching online!!!

Till next time,
The Mighty Heidi

Tuesday March 10, 2009

Today my human mommy took me to see Dr. G. (For those of you who haven't read my entire blog, Dr. G is the amazing vet at Banfield Town Center.) He remembered me!!! He showed us the card and picture we gave him last August. It was hanging on the door of the room we were in! He must really like me!

He checked my hemoglobin and it was a little low. He recommended puppy food and some vitamins. Btw, the vitamins are sort of yuck :-P The puppy food is yum! Anyway, no worms and that's good. He did an x-ray but said it didn't show the pups very good. Then he took us (human mommy and human sister, Rebecca) to look at the pictures. When we got in the room, he said he could see much better. Not great but better than the other room he was in with a lot of light. They counted 3 pups but he thinks there must be more as my uterus is huge already.

I was hoping to avoid this topic but I realize that many of you like the details! Started this pregnancy off at a svelte 6 pounds even - same as last time. When I delivered the first batch last August, I got up to 7 pounds 10 ounces. I weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces today and still have about two weeks left. I AM F-A-T.

Till next time,

March 5, 2009 - Day 44

Here I am on day 44 and I am huge! I look at the pics of me on day 44 last time and I am so large. I guess the extra pup makes that big of a difference.

I am going to get my weight tomorrow. I am almost afraid to get on that scale. But it's good to make sure I am gaining enough weight. I am gaining enough weight, right?

Pic on Day 39

Auntie Hope was asking about a pic of my belly. This one was taken on Feb 28 - day 39. If you notice Hank brought his bear to me and laid it in front of me. He likes to play fetch!

Saturday February 28, 2009 - Day 39

I am 39 days pregnant today! My human mommy and I stopped by Dr. Cammie's office to bring her a card. She is so nice - she clipped my nails and let me get a sneak peak at the babes!

Well, low and behold, there are FOUR pups in there. I thought I was getting a little large for 39 days. They measured one of the pups and the estimated age is 40 days. So, I am on schedule for the March 24 due date. I went 4 days early last time so I hoping ...

It is probably a good time to introduce you to the father of my pups, Hank. His full name is Hank Edward Schmidt - we sometimes call him Hank E. His color is blue. We are hoping that perhaps one of our pups will be have a blue coat like him. We'll see soon enough.

Till next time.

My First Ultrasound

Taken on February 18, 2009, this ultrasound shows three gestational sacs. According to the measurements, I am about 27 days pregnant in this ultrasound. Woo Hoo!

Long Time No Blog!

Dear friends, it has been a couple of months since my last blog. Let me get you caught up.

First, the children, Sadie is very happy living with Tanya and the other humans. She is cute (like me) and gets very happy when she sees my human mommy! Taco, a.k.a. Big Spot, is very happy living with Tiffany and her human family. He has his father's face and is also very cute! Pete stayed at our house. He's funny. He likes to bark and is always happy to see humans.

Leo, sadly, lost his ability to father anymore children for me (or anyone else for that matter). He is still my favorite and is adorable. My human mommy really wanted me to have babies with Hank (the nerd). Now for my big news:

I AM PREGNANT WITH TRIPLETS! Well, best the OB could tell is that there are three gestational sacs in my uterus. I am really hoping for a couple of girls.

So, I suppose you have figured out that Hank is the daddy. Have you ever watched the T.V. show Big Love? Me neither, my human brother says I should watch it. But I digress...

My due date is March 24. Be on the lookout for the Heidi-Cam, which will be reinstated closer to my due date.

Thanks for your faithfulness to reading the blog. Till next time - Love, Heidi.
