The kittens are doing wonderfully, nursing well and resting comfortably between meals. Weights are all good and bellies are fat with taut pink skin stretched tightly across, no wrinkles. They are all progressing normally.
We have 3 boys and a girl. While Lexus was pregnant, we affectionately referred to this litter as her "biscuits" in the oven. There is a long, thin boy we now call "The Sausage Biscuit", a little dainty boy with an egg-shaped belly now known as "The Egg Biscuit", a robust, beefy little boy we call "The Steak Biscuit" and of course, a very sweet little lamb of a girl fondly known as "The Jelly Biscuit". *giggle*
Lex has been a textbook Mommy, very diligent in her duties and always on alert. If one of the kittens so much as whimpers, she is spot-on that baby, licking and pushing him to her belly to nurse as she purrs and trills to him. She still has a very small amount of bloody discharge, but this is normal and will subside in a few days. She has gotten up from the nest a few times and is eating and potty'ing normally.
As for pictures, I am going to wait until I have a day where I don't have to use the flash ... the few that I have taken are with the flash taped over with toilet tissue so I don't hurt little developing eyes, but they are dark and without a lot of photo-manipulation, they are not very good. I promise as soon as I have something worth seeing, I will post it.
Can't wait to hear -- and see! -- more.
Can't wait to see them babies
