Patch is still going well.....eating and drinking like shes eating and drinking for 5....lol
but we still had a weight drop....she weighed in at 1298gms today
I'm not overly concerned....its possible she just ate more when i last weighed her.....it was afterall just after the weekend and i left them bucket loads of food as i was away for the weekend.
Today the three of us, myself, Dougal and Patchie all had a cuddle together. While we were sitting there i was feeling lots of strong kicks on the left flank....and absolutely nothing on the right side....this is most unusual as i normally feel kicking on both sides. We sat there for a good 20 to 30 minutes before i felt the first kick on the right.
Ill have to keep a close eye on my girl.....soon i will have to seperate Patch and Dougal...i know they wont like that as they are Sooooooo in love....lol....so ill try to leave them together as long as i can.
Smile
Still got a little bit of time before then.
Anyway....stay tuned

Tis Amazing how fast things happen!!!
I went away for like 36 hrs ( made sure everyone had heaps of food and water) and when i get back, the first thing i do is check and make sure everyone is ok ( by everyone i mean the 16 guinea pigs, 2 rabbits, 6 ratties, the cat and the 2 snow flake eels....lol)
Anyway....so i go to check my mummy to be....decided to have some snuggle time with her. I gentle lifted her out of her cage and MY GOD....her flank area is sooooooooo big. How can it get that big in 36 hrs.
So onto the scales we go..... 1295gms....thats a gain of 215gms in 2 weeks....and a gain of 389gms for her pregnancy so far.
Most of my girls have had a pregnancy gain of approx 400 to 420gms resulting in 4 babies.
So either Patch is further along in her pregnancy than i thought or she may possibly be having more than 4 babies....time will tell.
Anyway.....we had snuggle time, she was sitting on my chest very content while i read my new Matthew Reilly novel ( the five Warriors)....and i tell you...im pretty sure she was reading it too....she certainly looked interested in it....lol
I will have to keep a close eye on her over the next week and see how her weight goes, soon i will have to seperate her from Dougal Daddy.....he wont be happy......smile....but he will just have to cope for a while without Patchie mummy. Im sure he will be as proud as punch when his babies come along.
Anyway
stay tuned for new updates....smile
so exciting

Spoilt Rotten
23rd October today
Patch has been having lots of cuddles and is spending the afternoon sitting on the couch eating grapes....lol
Both Patch and Dougal have been outside all day munching on grass cos the weather is just soooo beautiful.
During one of our cuddles i got 3 distinct baby kicks, or should i say kicks from 3 distinct babies....smile
each of my girls so far have had litters of 4....so patch will more than likely be the same.....with the other girls i could always feel 3 babies and one must be hidden making 4....so if i can feel 3 inside patch then ide say she will have 4.
Ive always found that pregnancy makes my girls more mellow....but Patchie has always been a very docile Guinea.....probably one of the reasons we have always been close and she has always been one of my favorites. Or maybe thats because ive had her since she was born and we have spent time together every single day twice a day without fail. For some reason i always feel that they know im there for them during their pregnancy and that i wouldnt let anything bad happen to them.....smile ( well thats what i think...lol).
Anyway.....today is just another wonderful day in the life of Patch.
Ill be weighing her again on monday ( in 3 days time) and will write the next stage of her Blog
