\"alda-belly.jpg\"<\/a>\u00a0 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 – Well, we’ve finally hit the change in appetite. She did fine with her middle of the night “snack” and with her breakfast around 5:00. When it came time for her mid-morning “snack”, however, she just stood there and stared at it. So, I dumped it out, got a different dish and put in some dry kibble and mixed it with several tablespoons of canned food, making a sort of hash. She thought this was pretty good stuff and practically inhaled it. We’ll see how she does in another hour, or so.<\/p>\n

A couple of days ago, the pups felt like a little flutter when I put my hand on Alda’s abdomen. Last night, it was definitely more like a thumping that I was feeling. The pups were certainly active early this morning. It’s a wonder that Alda can get any rest at all. It doesn’t seem to bother her, though.<\/p>\n

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 – Alda’s doing well. She moves around a lot when she’s sleeping, so I can tell that she’s having a hard time getting comfortable, but she’s hanging in there. I haven’t noticed any pitiful sighing or moans. She’s still eating well, as long as I continue to give her the dry kibble mixed with some canned food. We are now on a similar schedule to the one that I remember you talking about before: 9 PM, 1 AM, 3 AM, 6AM…. She doesn’t eat at the 3 AM one, but she usually needs to do some kind of business around that time. I got a glimpse of the “rolling earthquake” last night. It’s hard to believe, but she’ll likely be a mom within a week. In some ways, the time went by very quickly. And, even though it will be good to sleep a little longer during the night, I know that I will miss her. She’s really been very good through all of this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
