Thought I would give everyone and update.  Looks like Halo is going to fool me and the vet and carry her litter to full term. She is due Tuesday.  She got me a little excited earlier today because her temp dropped, but then it went back up and all she does is eat, poop, and sleep.  She is hilarious when she sleeps because she flips over on her back. Guess it is more comfortable. 

As I was typing this Halo came into my office and laid down next to me and I got this picture.  As I said her favorite position now is laying on her back.

Just FYI - not all girls drop and stay down in temp. Some drop and bounce back up - or so my vet always says. Mine tend to drop and stay down. Any nesting behavior?

My experience has so far been that the girls made it very obvious to me when the time was drawing near. They have always nested first. Rosie just rearranged stuff incessantly, where Willow was more destructive, actually shredded blankets, a couch cushion, etc. In the last two hours or so, they were very agitated, couldn't get comfortable, wanted to be in my lap all the time. Then within a half hour of passing the first pup, they think they have to poop, which is the urge to push. I let them go out and watch them like a hawk (with a flashlight, all our litters have come after dark) until they aren't passing any more stool, then make them stay in even though they are worried they will poop on the floor.

Then my prediction is you will get rolling shortly after dark tonight then - keep us posted! Also, if you want my cell phone, pm me and I'll send it to you in case you need to bounce anything off someone.

I got emails from Bev until around 9 or so her time, and it seemed clear last night was going to be showtime, so I am sure you're right. Now we wait!
