Lady Ebony still hasn't popped! Seriously she looks like she's going to explode any minute but she's clearly keeping those little legs crossed. She's up to 1500g, yes that's right 1500! half again then her normal weight of 1000g.
A couple of things are worrying me a bit. She's gotten very quiet and spends a lot of time just sitting. Ebbies normally a very active miss so it does worry me, but then again she's carrying an extra half a kilo, and I'm sure that's exhausting... She's getting extra time on the floor to make up for it (knowing my luck she'll litter on the floor LOL).
Quietness and lethargy can be precursors to toxaemia so Ebbie's on hourly checks during the day and gets checked a couple of times at night as well. She's also being showered with treats to help prevent her going toxic and I can't say she minds, I think if anything she'd like more broccoli and kiwi fruit LOL.
The other thing is that this morning one side had stopped moving. Ebbies babies are very active and have been since the 9th, they started grinding their teeth maybe five days ago. Her right side is the largest and either has the biggest two headed baby ever in there, or multiples (I'm gonna go with multiples) the other side is much smaller and has only one set of grinding teeth. It's this side that has stopped moving, Ebbie also got quite snappish when I touched it. So I'm hoping and praying all is well.
So I'm fairly sure Ebbies at 63 days now.
I even have a little timeline of her pregnancy...
14/2 - Placed with boar
24/2 - Went on heat, conception suspected
16/3 - Weight started increasing steadily
1/4 - Babies felt
9/4 - Babies Moving
21/4 - Babies grinding teeth
24/4 - Ebony became quiet
I am every excited and expect to see babies before the end of next week!
