Well today is Day 58 and Jenga looks like she's ready to pop. It's hard to believe she's still not technically due until Wednesday. If she makes it till Monday morning, I'll be surprised. If she does, I think we're going to go ahead and do a C-Section. She has a history of very large litters, 14 and 12 puppies, respectively, and rather than take a chance on her getting into it and getting too pooped to push (which happened with her first litter of 14), I think we'll let the vet give her a hand. 
We took her temp this morning and she was at 100.4, which is about doggy normal. Once she drops below 100 and stays down around 98, puppies should arrive within 24 hours. Unfortunately, for her temp taking is going to be a twice a day procedure until it's time. But she still has her appetite which generally means no puppies for awhile but she has been eating smaller meals more frequently. Hmm, babies are squishing her tummy. We'll keep you posted.
