On Monday Jan 13th the vet gave us great news. Heidi is definitely pregnant. WOO HOO!!!
Our vet, using an ultrasound, was able to identify 5 or 6 fetal heartbeats. She is very conservative and doesn't try to search out every fetus so as not to disturb them. I'm just thrilled to know that she quickly found 5 or 6 to confirm the pregnancy.
Meanwhile on the home front...Heidi is definitely driving me crazy. She demands, quite vocally, to go outside frequently. I understand that, but 2 or 3 times an hour at some times of the day means I am constantly interrupted from any project I'm trying to accomplish. I'm seriously considering installing the doggy door in the slider to allow her access to the outside run.
I'm allowing her to sleep with me so she has all the space she needs, but she is waking me at 5 AM. Since we have 5 weeks to go (and some serious growth of the puppies in her) I am thinking that she will be making that wake up call even earlier in the early morning. She may be moving into the puppy room very early to have access to the doggy door.
Next ultrasound is scheduled for Monday Jan 27th.
