Dinah proudly standing guard over her baby. We haven't held the baby much,
because it stresses Dinah out and she won't settle down. Today, the 17th, the
baby's dewclaws were removed. Not pleasant!
04/14/10: Houston, we've got a panting dog FINALLY (8:00 p.m.). This is Stage 1
labor with Stage 2 still to go (i.e. hard labor).
04/15/10 Dinah never went in to full-stage labor, because it turns out, there was
only 1 puppy. There were no other signs of any fetuses -- mummified or otherwise.
She had an emergency c-section, resulting in a robust, healthy show-ridged girl.
:-)
Read Dinah's blog about getting pregnant and her pregnancy. For information

April 15th -- Day 1 -- 1.28 lbs!!
April 16-17th -- Day 2-3
April 17-18th -- Day 3-4
Experimenting with trying to re-creat the "puppy-pile" so that when Dinah wants a break from the constant IV-nursing, "Maggie" yes, her name is "Maggie" -- still feels cuddled and
warm. Obviously, the most preferred puppy pile is to the far right. Here, she is called "Buddha" puppy! No, that is not an artifact!
April 20-21 -- Day 6-7 -- 2.22 lbs!!
Left, Mike holding Maggie. Dinah finally feels comfortable. Next, Maggie lets out an adorable yawn, that was simply irresistable! :-) Above,
Maggie's buddah-belly -- we're afraid she's going to explode!! Today, the 21st, she is one week old and is 2.22 lbs! That is a gain of 0.94
lbs from her birth weight of 1.28 lbs!! From the other pictures, you can see what she is best at -- nursing!
To the left, Dinah giving Maggie a one-week
old birthday hug!
