fluffy gave birth this morning!
« on: July 27, 2010, 06:19:09 AM »

and i was there!

she had a beige baby girl i named luella. we've been to the vets just to check there's no more babies inside as her first lot were triplets but we got all clear. vet was very pleased with her and she was quite surprised fluffy managed to push her out all by herself as she is rather massive. she's full of beans and she's suckling - i'm not sure whether the milk has come in yet but she's definitely in there. 54g :)

here are some pics - she is quite fair at the front, then she has a line across her back and the end bit is darker. i thought she was a standard when she came out but obviously once she dried up and fluffed up. and now her eyes are properly open you can see they're red. 5 hours old on these pics :)

Congrats

Happy Birthday BABIES ::birthday::

So happy for you that you don't have to wait anymore.  Yeah that's a big baby but my girl had 3 boys that were 51+grams each.  Start the loving on them and enjoy!

54 is a good weight, that is about the average around here. My singles lately have been in the 60's

thank you! we are so pleased! we can actually just sit back and enjoy this one, with the triplets we were trying so hard to keep the alive that we didn't get to enjoy them for the first few weeks - worth all the effort of course.

the vet was also hugely relieved - she was psyching herself up for a cesarean as i called two hours after luella was born if we could come and check there's no more babies inside. but she said fluffy's in really good condition - i'm so pleased! :D
