All Gained

5-6 plus hours old and all have gained - minor amounts but gains. Usually they lose as mom's milk isn't in fully or their sucking reflex isn't strong enough or they are sleepy after the delivery. Jeannie's milk is fully in. on the bottom ones. The top ones I suspect I will be able to bring the milk to the surface by morning. It's there just not flowing like the bottom ones and that is usual.

Jeannie has eaten ice cream (calcium is imperative) baby bell cheese, starter mousse, dehydrated chicken strips. She hadn't eaten all day and she vomited throughout her delivery tons. She indeed had an upset tummy that passed after delivery. I have to clean her and dry her each time she goes so she doesn't get the pups wet and give them a chill.

She is cleaning them, coddling them and not fully aware of them being behind her (usual first hours). She looks to me to help them find her way and that's why I am up. It is going to be a long night and day.

Jon got me a giant sized latte. Let's hope it helps.

I think after feeding the dogs I may ask Dennis to watch the pups and I will snooze with the dogs so I can make it to tonight. We shall see. All I know is 2 nights without sleep is interesting.

Just catching up on the blog now. Huge Congratulations to Jeannie. Wonderful pups and they seem to be of a nice size too. The colours will be interesting as they develop. Well done! Hugs to all.
