Bella is getting bigger!

Bella has already gained 3" around her middle since just before her ultrasound two weeks ago - she is now 27"!  She has gained 4 pounds in the two weeks since our last vet visit.  We go back to the vet on May 2nd for an xray which will give me a better idea of how many puppies are there! 

Bella is not not quite so bossy with Kolt these days, tho she still rules the house of course!  So far she seems to feel great and is enjoying all the extra attention! Here are some photos taken this past weekend at 5.5 weeks into her pregnancy!

Bella surveying her "kingdom" - the backyard - from the deck.  Looking a bit tubby!

Oh boy - that looks like a lot of puppies in there!

Here are Bella's new "vintage" baby scales - we will use these

to weigh puppies when they are too big for the food scale!
