Impending Puppy Update!

[cupenny]

Parents took Eve to the vet a couple of days ago, for an X-ray, to get some sort of estimate as to how many puppies we could expect. Well, they saw 6 for sure, with the possibility of a couple more

Dear Eve -- Sleep while you can! And congratulations in advance.

I had no idea you could get an X-ray to count the number of impending puppies. Where have I been?

Apparently its not as accurate as a sonogram- because the puppies' bones are still soft? But it works enough to 'pick up' their skulls- and to give a rough estimate.

There is a woman who's a specialist in doing natal sonograms, in S. California- but she doesn't have an office. Apparently she rotates around a few vet offices, using their equipement for appointments. We did have her confirm the pregnancy, but she's not anywhere close by atm, so- X-ray!

Puppies!!!!

That was quick. For some reason I expected gestation to be longer. I hope it all goes well and there are little bitty fluffballs soon!

(Also, if you get bored tonight, text me! I work all night, I can be on Puppywatch 2k9 with you!)
