When did you notice her nipples pinking? That usually occurs at day 21.

Ok, it's very important that mama stays inside from now until when the kittens are weaned. This is for a few reasons:

You don't want her delivering outside where you can't help mom or babies in an emergency. Things do go wrong during labor and delivery. You also won't be able to monitor them as they hopefully grow and thrive. You may need to step in, and you'll need constant access. There are also predators and unpredictable elements outside.

Moms who go outside when their babies are young bring back diseases and parasites to their infants who don't have developed immune symptoms. It's not safe.

Worse, many moms who go outside don't come back at all. This is either because they go into heat, get pregnant again and run off, or something happens to them, like being hit by a car. Either way, this leaves you to raise the litter. Moms can get pregnant within a week of delivering and without going into heat. She'll need to stay 100% inside and away from intact males until the kittens have been weaned.

It's really hard to say if you don't know when her nipples turned pink or when she mated.

Are you able to keep both mamas inside now?
