Here are a few more pics I took yesterday, a lil closer up. They are just too cute! We have names for two of them as I mentioned before. But still stumped on a name for the last one. Any ideas?

This one is Tiggy (or Tigger) Since we are not quite sure if it's a male or female yet.

This is Patches! The first of the litter.

And last but not least the nameless wonder and second born.

You have 2 bluecreams/white - one is more of a calico. Which means they are both female. So Tiggy would be a female.

How would you know that tho? Seems like it would be impossible to tell just by looking at them. But maybe you are right.

Simple, most 99.9% of tortie/calicos/bluecream are females. You get the weird occasional male but that is very rare.

I had tortie/calico rexes and it was pretty easy knowing the mom's color and dad's color and what kittens color/sex would be for comparison to colors that could be both. If you know a bit of genetics you don't need to inspect the kittens to know that calico/blue cream is female. Use it as your guide to sex the other kitten.

The male kitten looks a little like my Will, with the gray tuxedo markings, and the white stripe over the shoulders. Will is a good kitty name! Although, I think Buddy fits better with Misty, Patches, and Tiggy!

So cute! Love the closed eye look. It's about the only time they behave. After those baby blues open up...watch out. LOL

We decided on a name for the male this morning...Lex...we are big fans of Smallville lol and he kind of has his attitude a lil.
And I know they'll be more trouble once their eyes open, we'll be getting a bigger box hehe

Aww, they are sooo cute! Good luck with the babies! Are you going to have your female spayed after this?

Yes we are getting her spayed once the kittens are weaned. When we took her in she was already pregnant as she was found on the street.
