Its amazing how one is preparing me of the other & how the other is making one alot harder!
This pregnancy is being AWESOME! No consisten swelling yet which is a blessing. I can feel baby girl moving constantly and I love it! Everything is checking out good. Whew
On the other hand this litter of puppies has turned me into an emotional mess. Morgan had 10 puppies which is a huge litter for a Boston Terrier. 1 puppy had a severe cleft pallete and had to be put to sleep less than 10 hrs after she was born. 2 days after the litter was born we discovered we had a runt. After further inspection I realized she was trying to nurse but unsuccessfully. She has problems latching on. So I have been bottle feeding her every 2-3 hrs. Today they are 10 days old and the runt has only gained 1 oz. All of the other pups are 3x bigger than her. I have an appt this afternoon with a vet for the runt to make sure she isnt sick and that we just need to tube feed her until she catches up. PLEASE god let that be the case because losing one puppy made me cry for hours & that was humane. If we lose our runt as well my heart will break all over again. We have decided not to breed Morgan & Optimus again. There is so much happiness and heart break in raising puppies.
This is the morning they were born
This is 10 day old piglets

I'm so glad the baby is doing well! Now that I have my own baby, I cant imagine what it was like for you when Cooper was born early. I would have been a mess.
