Sorry that I haven't been in touch for a while. It is not my fault - David has been very busy at work, getting the nursery ready, and complaining about all the snow.
It should be about 10 days to go now. My pups are a very busy bunch and most active in the evening hours. I was weighed yesterday, and came in at a whopping 42.5 pounds. Keep in mind that my normal weight is 34-36 pounds, and I had dropped to 32 pounds on day 29 (the day of the ultrasound).
David has been able to pick up little heartbeats with a stethoscope and I am finally getting comfortable with all the movement and kicking. About 10 days ago I tried various lie down strategies, but the pups don't seem interested in where I chose to rest --- they just keep moving. So I now just try to wait it out although sometimes I like to have my tummy rubbed when the pups are active.
I still want to play and exercise as much as ever, but David stopped the frisbee playing a long time ago. So I'm left to run at top speed through the deep snow --- I figure if the puppies can jostle me, I should be able to jostle the puppies.

That is a gorgeous photo of Cait!
Oh my goodness, Cait! You are so far ahead of our Rachel -- she's got weeks and weeks to go yet -- of course, she's human, so it takes a little longer, but her pup is also moving around a lot, she's having trouble finding a comfortable way to lay down, and she's getting tired more easily. Her mate, Barry, is trying to be helpful, but in the end, it is "all about her," isn't it?
Keep up the good work, Cait!
Love, Auntie Leslie
