Week to go...

Days go so fast, and we are going through the last week of Kiras pregnancy. She is doing better than good, excellent in fact. She eats, she plays and looks a bit for nest to settle into. And she resembles a toy I used to make as a child, a pinecone having 4 sticks put on bottom as legs. It is called "käpylehmä".

Currently I have received a lot of queries about the babies, but please be patient and lets see first how many are born and how they are doing :) I will not be taking any reservations at the early stages as I want to see the babies develop.

We are going to put up a webcamera with livefeed of the nursery, so as soon as we have things happening, I will be posting a link where the livefeed will be so you get to enjoy the kittens as well.

Mothership, ETA for delivering cargo... 1 week

Tic....Tac....Tic....Tac....

Patience is a virtue they say... But I feel like counting seconds already for the moment the babies can be born.

The Mothership is doing well. She eats (a lot!), plays and grooms herself, and did I mention her eating ? I think not... The familiar meow sounding like rusty hinges greets me everytime I go to the fridge, just to give me a not so gentle hint that her Mothershipness is very, very hungry.

Kira had some bleeding Sun + Mon, but it has ended now. She got us very worried, and we took her to the vet (at hematovet, where we always visit) and did an ultrasound. Everything looked good for the babies, all hearts were beating. The bleeding has ended now and reason for it remains mystery. What is tho important, is that Kira is doing very well... besides the fact that she has trouble remembering that her belly is so large and she should not rampage around the house so badly anymore.

This weekend we will be building the nest for her where she can start settling to have her babies.

no, we did not break her leg... she just found a comfy position to sleep...

 

So more updates coming soon about our Very Pregnant Mothership. Funny, the day I got her back her behaviour had changed already so much that I just knew that she was pregnant. 

2 weeks to go!

Kira is doing well. She is getting quite big now and having some trouble moving around with her belly, but she is eating like a horse! We are giving her plenty of food now, and started already building a nest for her to settle in later on.

On Sunday morning she had some vaginal discharge so we took her to the vet, everything was normal and the babies were alive in the ultrasound, so nothing to worry.

Here are couple fresh pictures of our Mothership.

 

So, how many babies are there ? ;) It is still 2 weeks to go until duedate, so we will see the belly growing a lot more now.
