A Breeding Chronicle

In past litters, she has always delivered spot-on day 63, but so far, nothing that leads me to believe that today is the day. I thought she might have them earlier today when she was repeatedly going in and out of the litter box but upon looking, I realized there was a toy mouse in there she wanted *yucko* to play with. I took this whole week off on vacation (being self-employed has it's distinct advantages) so I could be here with her.

She does have a little dampness around her vulva, but there is no real sign of any discharge yet. She is just walking around like normal this evening. She just had a few bits of her dry food and a cool sip from her fountain, then walked down the hall and back into my bedroom where her nest is located.

On an amusing note, a June Beetle made the fatal mistake of coming into my kitchen this early morn -- Lexus made short work of bringing it down and chewing on it's crunchy little feet. *snort* Even barefoot and pregnant, she is still quite a bug-killing force to be reckoned with. *LOL*

I hope you get your rainbow litter...in the next couple of days!

Today is the day, I am pretty sure of it. There is a very small bit of bloody discharge and she is vocalizing as well as sticking to me like velcro.

So, while I may be wrong, I do think we are having babies today.

I was just going to ask if there were any updates!

Just as soon as we are done, I'll post the litter count and genders (if I can make them out this early LOL).

I am excited!! I have been waiting to meet these little guys for a long time now!!

I can't wait to hear the wonderful news. I hope that Lexus' delivery goes as well as her past deliveries. I am waiting patiently to hear how many little white mice she has , and what beautiful colors they turn into.

Well, I guess we all will continue waiting because no babies have arrived!

Lexus was digging around in her nest ~all~ day long and there is a little bit of bloody discharge, but only mild contractions so far. I guess we will see these babies when we see them and not a minute before then.

Time to make coffee and continue to wait it out. She is so very, very close.

I hate the suspense. *wink*

Lexus
May you have a easy and insident free delivery soon so you mommy can sleep

Then my prediction of today may come true. Now all she had to do is wait until 11pm. J/K Lexus You have those babies whenever you feel you are ready. I am sure you are snickering at how you can manipulate your Meowmy to stay up.

Well, we have four babies. Lexus woke me up at around 4:30 this morning and was extremely agitated so into her nesting crate she went. I fell asleep after watching Lex dig to China for three hours. When I woke up, I was treated to hearing a kitten eeeeeeeping at the top of his/her lungs (now that would be a good sound for an alarm clock to make because I'll tell ya what -- I sure woke up in a hurry!!) because Lexus had licked him/her slam through the bars and he/she was trying to get back in from outside the crate. *sigh* Said Kitten was retrieved and placed once again safely in with Lex, who then, in what I am certain was her sincere gratitude *snort*, bit my hand. Not hard enough to break the skin, but hard enough for me to yelp a little.

Once Lex gets everyone all cleaned and settled, I can swap out her soiled bedding for clean and get weights and determine genders. But until then, I am going to go and take a nap. *smile*

We have babies ... little moosey pink babies. Good job, Lexus.

Awwwwwwww, how lovely, Gaye!! I'm glad I took "one more look" before closing down to go to work. Can't wait to hear -- and see! -- more.

Oh congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!
