My advice is to take her to a vet and did u mean 8 AM because if u think there is another and the other births were at 3 Am and it is now 8 PM that is not at all good. Please take her to a vet.
Sometimes cats can present a kitten up to 24 hours after the first delivery ... if you are still feeling contractions now, it might be that she still has kittens to present. If you continue to see and feel contractions into tomorrow but no more kittens deliver or if she shows any signs of distress, then you might want to chat with your vet.
A little blood spotting is normal for up to 10 days after delivery. So don't let that worry you. If there is pus or other discharge in heavy amounts, that is a concern and she needs to be seen ASAP.

i ment that she had the last one at 3 a.m. and at the time it was 8 p.m. She has not been pushing or acting in distress. She is taking care of the kittens and is eating and drinking again. there is no puss or any weird discharge. I called the vet this morning and she said to not worry unless she was pushing and nothing was happening. so while i was at work today my sister in law came over and checked on her every half hour or so.. i also read that cats can get pregnant by different males at different times. If she only has the two i am keeping them both, but i am getting all three spayed/neutered (i should have done that in the first place i know).
I'm so glad you intend to have all 3 spayed/neutered. Keep your mother cat indoors and away from any intact males until she is able to be spayed.

CJ looked like she was going to explode before she had her kittens....
But she only had 3, RIP Limeny, and now has two to raise.
I know a few people here on TCS that had a cat have 1 kitten! So, it is possible that that is all she's having. When CJ had all three, I could have sworn I felt movement, but there wasn't another.
