Our pastry will join the world on 4/10/11.
Sedona's temperature was 98.7 at 10pm, 99.1 at 10:10pm. Upon the advice of a few wise breeders, I will call and get her into my backup vet tomorrow (the guy who did Kota's hematoma surgery) when they open.
Say some prayers, cross your fingers, send positive energy....
We're havin' a baby!!!

due date weekend...
Well, the weekend has finally arrived. The weekend I've had highlighted in my calendar for 2 months. It also happens to be Ollie-Bear's birthday weekend (tomorrow he will be 9 - another post for that tho). I've been so anxiously awaiting this weekend, but scared of it at the same time!
We've got the whelping box all set up... the laundry room has been converted into a cozy place for Sedona and her little one. She lives in the laundry room when I'm at work anyway, so it works out nicely for her... not so nicely for me, who will be crammed on an air mattress in a door way for a few days... ;-) I set up the camera for a great view of the box last night... it's not pretty, but it works! :)
With it only being ONE puppy, it changes so much in my mind... instead of feeling a group of wriggling, kicking babies in the belly of the mama, I feel one lone little wriggler and kicker.... knowing just who I'm feeling. Imaging what he/she will look like... hoping and praying that it will not be a hell raiser... ;-)
I sit with knots in my stomach waiting to see if she'll go into labor this weekend.
I love watching Sedona sleep so soundly with my hand on her belly.... I'm so disgustingly sentimental! LOL
I know you all can imagine how I feel about my dog right about now... I've always adored the heck out of this dog. When I asked for a Phoebe clone, little did I know that it would quite literally be an exact clone! Talk about taking a request to heart! Thanks Phoebe! :) She's even following in her momma's pawprints of 'makin' em big'! :)
She's managed the pregnancy well... probably better than I have! :) She's still running around, playing with the boys. She's still climbing the stairs to go to bed at night (I cut her off the stairs otherwise). She's taking the temperature taking in stride (relatively... as much as she can take that sort of violation in stride). :) I think she's going to loooove having a puppy to lick and care for. She was born to be a mama dog.
Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming... this special little pastry will be here before we know it! :)
