13 Days Old

Pups eyes are not even close to opening yet but at times they are getting active. They get mighty excited now when they smell mom.
So far we have 2 larger pups and 2 smaller pups. Two are shorter in body and 2 are longer in body. That means nothing yet. You have to check length of body when they get mobile and watch how they grow. None will be small like Saffron. They most likely will be Adele's size. Right now I have to make sure all are eating as 2 of the larger ones would steal all the milk stations if they have their druthers. This always happens. It all changes when they get mobile. Eyes open does wonders to the - no you don't, it's mine experience.
Two of them are over 1 pound and 2 are just a smidge below. I suspect by tonight or tomorrow all will be over 1lb.
What did I find in my night duties? Sometimes they wanted to eat every 2 hours and sometimes they waited till 3 hours. It usually takes 20 minutes for a feeding. Do the math. No one gets much sleep during the night. I did this for 2 nights so Dennis could get accustomed to day shift and we could go to the show. I am dead. If I don't make sense - oh well. hahahaha
I look forward to my bed tonight. When I laid down on the couch minus the pillows so I had room, Adele would stay up with me most of the time. Jeannie snuggled then found the tile in the hallway inviting. The girls will miss me but they will have me all day into the night. I didn't sleep except inbetween unlike Dennis who crawls into bed at 7am till 3ish. So, it is taking a toll. The high price to go to a show but I also got the experience of the night duty - not that I haven't done that before. I have. But boy I want that bed about now.
Tomorrow the pups are 2 weeks old.
Here are the videos:

You are amazing! Thankfully these two litters are close so when you all get to sleep...you ALL get to sleep! Love those chubby bums.
You can see their plump tummies when they are on their backs. Can't you go to bed early tonight? Everyone needs you to be well!

This is how it will go. Dennis will get woken up at 930. He will say he needs a shower. It will take him 45 min to an hour. then while he is doing that I will clean all the water dishes and Nathan will be in bed. heh
Yes about 4 plus weeks we will all be on the day shift.
Sweet dreams Darlah!
Nice to she Adele loving up her pups.
Oh Darlah, you need some tender loving care, you really do.
