Dear Diary,
I went to the Dr. today to get an x-ray to see how many we are expecting. There are 3! I knew I didn't have as many as before, but three is a good number!!!

YAY - I know when I go for an x-ray that the puppies are near!!!

Dear Diary,
I am 8 weeks pregnant now. Getting closer!!! I am not quite as big as I have been in the past, but that is ok. I can't WAIT to be a mom again :)

Dear Diary,
I am 6.5 weeks pregnant now. I am starting to grow! I can't wait for the big day to get here in a couple of weeks!!!

I am resting a LOT, and taking very good care of the little ones!

Will write again soon...

Dear Diary,
The day started out with it raining SO hard. Day after day of raining! Then, it was time to load me up into the car to go for a ride to see if I am carrying beautiful water balloons. LOOK! I AM carrying beautiful water balloons!!! YAY, I am pregnant!!!!!!

We don't know how many. Just that I AM pregnant!!!!

I am so happy - YIPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Now I will rest and watch my tummy grow. Will write again soon...

Dear Diary,
We have an easy morning waiting to hear our test result from yesterday. Finally the phone rings and I hear "now THAT makes a lot more sense!" coming from the kitchen. Ok, 14.3 - that means that my eggs are ready!!! So, all of a sudden, the decision is made that Cutter and I are going to get one last chance to be together, and then we are headed back to Virginia!!!

Cutter was very happy to see me. We got a 30 minute tie, and then I was whisked off to my crate in the car. BYE CUTTER!!! It was a great trip, and I hope that I am now cooking our beautiful babies!!!!

Thank you Aunt Valerie, Uncle Clint, Abbie and Macy for putting up with me and my mom all week. We hope we see you all soon!!!

Now the waiting begins. We won't know if we have babies for almost a month. I will post again as soon as the ultrasound is done around Sept 9. Hopefully there will be pictures to post of the babies I am carrying! Until then, Diary.....

Dear Diary,
We are getting packed up and ready to go! I get one more chance to be with Cutter. What a stud - another 20 minute tie!!! He was whining outside my door today wanted to get to me. It is nice to be wanted!!!

Then, we wait for the blood test results to be sure it is ok to leave. I hear mom saying that it CAN'T BE. How can the test show 3.6? There has to be a mistake!

Ok, no need to leave now! Back to the vet we go. Yes, my smear shows that I am still in full estrus, and I get a free blood test. Antech is going to rerun the test since it looks like there was an error. In the meantime, we all relax and wait. Cutter is very eager to get to me. I don't think it is quite time to go home yet! He has really good radar!!!!

Dear Diary,
Rise and shine! We are all rested now! Time to make babies! Cutter???? YAY! Here he is!!! Another 15 minutes tie!

Then, back to the vet ago again - you can't ever be too sure to make sure the timing is right! Smear still shows I am in full estrus! Blood test back tomorrow. Then, back home. Mom thinks we will breed in the morning and head home. Time to relax - ahhhh!

Dear Diary,
We got the test result back this morning - 5.3. Ok, I am a little earlier than I thought. You wouldn't know it though! I love being bred - flag and wag - that is my motto!!! Today was an "off day" - a day to rest for us to rest.

August 8, 2011
Dear Diary,
This morning we went off to Auntie Val's vet for a blood test and smear to make sure we know where we are. Smear shows I am in full estrus - time to make babies! Pin cushion away - I am good now!

I am inconsolable in the house. All I want is my Cutter! I got my way - we got to breed again tonight. Another 15 minute tie!

August 7, 2011
Dear Diary,
I know I am ready. I am flagging away at my handsome stud muffin Cutter. He is interested, all right. But, maybe not as much as I am! That's ok, first thing this morning we got a tie for 15 minutes. I am covered - YAY!!!!!

Dear Diary,
Off we go to Dr. Roskin in Maryland to see what is going on. Well, the smear shows that I am moving right along. I get to be a pin cushion again. Results tomorrow. Then, there was mention of me getting to to my man since I may be out of season in 48 hours. OK, another 10 hours later, we arrive in NC!

WOW IS IT HOT HERE! Above 100 degrees - yikes!!!

August 5, 2011
Dear Diary,
Only 3 days later, but 16 days since the tissue test. Surely the number will come back higher. NO, still 0.8. Ok, what is going on? Mom has had enough. Time to get a second opinion.....

August 2, 2011
Dear Diary,
Four days later - Not AGAIN, really? Yeah, yeah - the too early thing! Test shows 0.8. STILL a long way to go!

July 29, 2011
Dear Diary,
Nine days later - it is time for me to prepare myself to be a pin cushion. I am not even close yet - HELLO? But I overhear those words spoken - "you can always be too early - the alternative is not an option!"
Test shows 0.4. A long way to go!

Dear Diary,
My daughter Jackie finally came into season today - YAY! But wait, why am I getting a tissue blotted on my backside? I have been looking a little puffy lately. I will admit that. But, just because she is in, doesn't mean that I am!

Right, I guess I am too. Just barely pink on the tissue, but I saw it - YUP I am in season too!
