Has your little bowling pin had her litter yet?

Nope, not yet. I thought she was going to have them this afternoon because she went into her nest and got under the nesting materials, but evidently she then changed her mind. *smile* So, we continue to wait and watch her.

The way it goes normally is that the more you want the kittens to come, the slower they do so with that in mind, I am not wanting these kittens to be born at all tonight. Nope. Not tonight, not tomorrow, not tommorrow night. None of those days. *grin*

Thanks for the happy, healthy thoughts, Hissy. Any and all are welcomed. Her first litter went so smoothly and easily and I just hope this one will be that way for her as well.

Kim, I'll put $10 up right now that she goes into labor at around oh-gosh-thirty this morning and then gets right up in my face to wake me up and tell me about it with fish breath. *wink*

I can't wait to meet these little guys! I've been waiting for what feels like a really long time now to do that!

Good luck! Keep us posted

So you never really get over the anxiety of having a litter?!!!?? I thought that after breeding for awhile maybe I wouldn't be so stressed and anxious, could it be that I am wrong about that? If so I don't know if im cut out to be a breeder. I hate it and love it all at the same time. I just cannot stand the wait. Im just so curious about what the kittens will look like. And I get so stressed about the delivery. I was really, really hoping that it wouldnt be such a big deal for me once I had a few litters under my belt but it seems im wrong about that.

I think it must be an individual thing ... I do get anxious with each litter, but I am told that others don't. I always worry that something will go wrong in the middle of the night when it takes me nearly an hour to drive to the nearest ER clinic and I probably won't have gas in my car or enough money in the check book.

So far we have three little babies. The first one is a girl, the second one is a boy (and the "Screamer" of this litter) and I haven't been able to sex the third one yet. *smile*

Lexus is doing very, very well. She is taking a little break now as am I - so, I took the opportunity to come out here to the kitchen to post an update, get a cup of coffee and smoke a quick ciggie.

I'll check back in shortly ... thanks, y'all.
