I cant believe it....More babies on the way :)

We had been trying to get Tammy pregnant for the last 6 months or so. And it just didnt happen. She was separated from Dougal about 1 week ago cos she was starting to get too old to be having her first litter ( there is a small window of opportunity for a first pregnancy, I decided it was now too late to still be trying).

So today im giving her a cuddle and im like.....hmmmm have you put on weight ( so many times ive thought she was pregnant then the next day she is skinny again lol)....then i felt it....a very strong kick on the rt side of her abdomen.

I couldnt believe it....cos i was thinking if she is pregnant then its very early days....but to feel a strong kick she has to be well into the pregnancy. But she is still sooo small. Doesnt really look pregnant. So i wouldnt be suprised if she is only having a very small litter, say one or two guinea's.

I have no idea on a guestimated delivery date as i wasnt really watching her this month. But will see how strong they feel and will try to guestimate a time frame going by experience.

Im sooo happy for her....Shes going to be a proud, great mum just like my other girls :)

Will keep you updated :)

She had a long labour compared to my other girls with a long stretch between the 1st and 2nd being born, then the third came out pretty much straight away and then it was a good 1/2 hr before the 4th was Born.

First born was "Caliegh" weighing 86gms

Third born was "Dusty" weighing 93gms
and last but not least
Forth born was "Bear" weighing 85gms


All are happy and healthy and Mum ( Teddy ) and Dad ( Dougal ) are very proud parents :)

It's Teddy's Turn to be Pregnant and have Babies :)

We have been having nightly cuddles and felling the babies kicking for a while now.
