March 22, 2009 - Day 61

I have been a lazy bum today! My belly practically drags on the ground when I walk. Birth can't come too soon for me now. Bring on the labor!!!

As I have been lazy and bored, I think you might enjoy some pics of Hank and me when we were babies. We are perhaps the cutest pups out there. Look how small Hank and I were.

I hope to be bringing some good news in the next day or so.
Till next time,
Heidi - whose belly drags the floor

Saturday March 21, 2009 - Day 60

Well, I never thought I would see Day 60 and still be preggers! First litter delivered on Day 59. My human good friend Colleen is predicting a Sunday early afternoon delivery. Please be right, Colleen!!!

My temp this morning was 99.2. Argh! The temp really needs to get to 98 and then we are a go in 12 to 24 hours.

Anyway, the Heidi Cam is up and running, my birth supplies are almost together and I have been ready for days!

Till next time,
Heidi a.k.a. Saddlebags

Friday March 20, 2009 - Day 59

Today, my temperature was 99.4 - same as yesterday. This means it isn't likely the pups will make their appearance today. So, I was able to hang out with my human mommy today!!! We went to pick up my human sister, Rebecca. She is flying soomewhere to visit her friend. After we dropped her off at the airport, we stopped by to visit Dr. Camie. She took a special picture of my belly and confirmed that there are 'only' four pups inside of me! Yay! The thought of five made my skin crawl or was that the pups moving inside of me???

We came home and I went immediately to favorite spot - under mommy's shirt.

Till next time!

X-Ray of My Belly

Click on the picture and tell me if you see FIVE heads. My human brother Mike tells me one has two heads :-( I don't think so!

Dr. G - if you are reading this perhaps you could tell me if you think there is another one.

Thanks!
Heidi

Wednesday March 18 - Day 57

Here are a couple of pics of me taken at 9:30pm. The black (brindle) pug next to me is Greta. She is my friend and my human brother Mike's dog. I guess that makes her my niece.

I am having a real hard time getting around today. I can only hope that my labor will be sooner rather than later. The pups are moving like crazy!!!

I am a little worried though. I will post a pic of the xray with some markings. Let me know what you think. Four or Five??? I guess time will tell for sure.

Till next time,
Heidi

Tuesday March 17, 2009 - Day 56

If you look real hard you can see the pups!

Tuesday March 17, 2009 - Day 56

This is the wonderful Dr. Galipalli - a.k.a. Dr. G. I saw him today and he let me know that there are four puppies in my belly! I still think there 50 or 16 or 8! I am huge! My human mommy said she will take a pic of me and post it later. Dr. G has even noticed how big I am!

We also got the pics of the pups radiographs. They have to be touched up but will be posted tonight.

I need to start getting my whelping box ready. It's set up but not quite ready for birthin'.

Also, if you haven't already done so, download Yahoo Messenger and add me to your friends list. My Yahoo screen name is babes4heidi. You can view my webcam and watch my birth or me with the new ones, etc. Right now my human mommy is using it to see what all the other dogs do when she isn't home. I tried to tell her their business but she wanted to see for herself!

Till tonight,
Heidi
