Not sure if she is done but she is taking a nap. Pups are a fed and sleeping too. Think I might join them.

Inside for a few so I can eat and use the laptop---hardly in reception in the barn.

There are 7 total and I think she is done. Each came out with easily followed by placenta. She did great, cleaning them as she pushed. I am amazed how gentle she is being for a first time mom. She just knows.

So this morning, after I let her out to potty, I came back in and had coffee while I gathered up supplies. That was at 6am. Then DH went out to check on her and let her out again at just before 8am, then came back in to help get kids out the door (they had a two hour delay this morning due to ice on the roads but is has warmed up quite a bit since). We were back out at 8:45 and she had two pups already. WOW was that fast.

Pup #7 I think is the largest and was out at noon so it has been 1.5 hours since then. She let out a big old toot but that has been it. I told her no worries girly, happens to lots of moms.

We cleaned up, gave her fresh food and water, and just let her rest for now. Once DH comes back from the store, I am going to take her out to see if she will go potty. She seems very relaxed and content though. I will get weights and start making notes later.
The only white one seems to be the most active already. He was crawling all over mom.

Well, seven is a good number and so much easier to take care of than 10!
