Day 56 -- preparing for puppies and keeping the people calm

Starting Day 57 is when it's time to take her temperature every 12 hours.  We took her temperature this morning for a base line of what's a normal temperature for her.

Note:  regular temperature for a dog is about 101 degrees.
A bitch getting ready to whelp, her temperature will drop to 97-98 about 12-24 hours before labor starts

We took Grace's temperature this morning and it's 99.6, her vulva has softened and slightly swollen.  The puppies have times where there is constant movement mostly can see and sometimes the roll/kick is felt.  She's really huge, geez.

The people got a little anxious, probably have until Thurs to Saturday to send out the announcement of who's the winner of the guessing sexes and colors.  HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR GUESS IN?
