Less than a week to go!

Last night, Sonic and I slept in the whelping room to start getting her used to sleeping in the whelping box. She was a good girl and settled in it well. I’m glad I did, as it was COLD in there. I don’t think Sonic minded, but it was bad enough that I checked the heating vent at 1:30 am and discovered I’d shoved a box over the top of it. That helped explain it! I moved the thermometer in there this morning, so I’ll have a better idea of what it really is tonight.

I’ve done some more sewing of box liners today, finishing up the big 4 x 4 foot furry fleece one and getting a smaller quilted one done.

I have also slowed down the exercise efforts some this week, going on off leash runs instead of biking, so she can rest when she wants to. It is so strange seeing my gazelle thickening so much and slowing down. It is harder for her to lie down and get up than usual.

Sonic has been wanting to rest on my lap in the recliner lately, which is unusual. I have started to feel the puppies moving, which is terrically exciting.

I’ve added more pictures to the Expanding Waistline post. It is astonishing seeing her waist expand by 1/2″ to 1″ a day.
