She sounds like a great mom :).

I would apply Advantage again, and flea comb the kittens, change out the bedding, and purchase flea spray for the house. After spraying and allowing time for the fleas to die, vacuum well to pick up dead fleas, eggs, and larva.

Check Walmart and your local pet stores. They can also be ordered online. There are several on the market. I use Enforcer Flea Spray for Carpets and Furniture.

Is it normal for misty to have gas? She is very very gassy

Cats can be gassy once in awhile. What are you feeding her? You can also buy Forti-flora probiotic and sprinkle some over her food to help settle her stomach. Or, you can mix a few drops of baby simethicone into her food for gas.

How are the kittens doing?

My Queen also had horrible gas after having her kittens. She could clear a room. It passed on it's own after a day or so.

I just changed it to kitten food, its Iams. The kittens are great, eyes are open and they are starting to walk although very shaky. They both appear to be males the bigger one is definitely a chunky boy lol he always seems to be eating

It's probably the change in her diet. You can give her dry kitten chow too.

The kittens are now 19 days old and the bigger one, crush, doesn't seen to be satisfied when nursing, he is eating all the time, is it too early to try wet food with him?

You can certainly try a thin mush of wet food mixed with kitten formula or water on a paper plate. Or kitten formula mixed with Gerber plain rice cereal. If he won't eat that yet you can always supplement with KMR in a bottle or syringe.
