Lilith arrives and ....Pics Oct 19th :D

[sausage4ever]

Wow!! Well if my bet is to be right then she will be having 5 show-mouse-sized (60g) pups very soon!!

 

[lilspaz68]

Nope, thats a whole pile o' babies...we are thinking more like 10 now. :doh:

 

[sausage4ever]

I know my bet is way off!! All I can hope now is for a safe delivery.

 

[M0onkist]

I'm praying really hard for a safe and easy delivery!!

TEN babies?! ::faints:: Auntie's gonna have to make more little baby rat booties and hats...

Oh man is she ever lumpy. She's got to be getting uncomfortable.

 

[lilspaz68]

Oh man is she ever lumpy. She's got to be getting uncomfortable.

She seems just fine, still climbing and bumping under the covers...I have all the little lights on in my place and I am about to stare at her sides hard. I already saw the bubbies moving under her skin! If they are really active it means they are moving getting ready for the birth. :joy:

I'm saying the same litter bet as my sweet Mom'matilda *RIP at the bridge old girl* with 13 ratlets with 6 boys 7 girls

 

[Debbie]

Can't wait to hear when all the babies are delivered, healthy and with full milk banded bellies. Safe delivery, dear little Lilith!

 

[lilspaz68]

The bubs are very active tonight, they are pushing through her skin with their Auntie Shelagh watching fiercely..don't blink you could miss it! Lilith's the same but those eepers are just a'raring to arrive. LOL

 

[M0onkist]

Guess they wanna be all out in the world!

Gosh... well, if she doesn't seem uncomfortable I imagine she's okay with them moving around.

Eeeeeep!!! So we're talking soon soon soon then?

 

[Tarah]

C'mon Lilith girlie!

 

[lilspaz68]

Guess they wanna be all out in the world!

Gosh... well, if she doesn't seem uncomfortable I imagine she's okay with them moving around.

Eeeeeep!!! So we're talking soon soon soon then?

My experience (limited as it is) when the bubbies move like that it's usually within 12 hours or so. I would guess by tomorrow morning..but she keeps foolin' us doesn't she? :cheeky:

 

[sausage4ever]

I too would think she should have bubs by the morning...

 

[Catibrie]

That means we could all wake up to...............
[marquee:mh6sbrc5]BABIES!!!!!!!!!!![/marquee:mh6sbrc5]

 

[dubchick]

:joy: :joy: :joy:

 

[Maple]

I think you should stay up all night and give us a minute to minute report. Poor little thing, she really does look uncomfortable. Hope its soon for her sake.

 

[M0onkist]

::chuckles:: Nah, let Shelagh sleep - the babies are gonna keep her awake for the next like two months anyway!

Gah, I feel like I'm 6 years old again, and it's nearing 10PM on Christmas Eve... we heard these mysterious 'thump thump thump's on the roof, got all bundled up and headed outside, and there were deer tracks on the roof... I couldn't get back in and into bed fast enough to make the morning come sooner!

At the same time though, I'm praying that if she has them tonight, or tomorrow, or anytime, that's it's a speedy and easy delivery for her...

 

[ryelle]

That means we could all wake up to...............
[marquee:1wtr6a6a]BABIES!!!!!!!!!!![/marquee:1wtr6a6a]

ARGH!! i am four or five hours ahead so i have woke up to NO BABIES!! It is 8am, i will have to wait a few hours

 

[lilspaz68]

NO Babies...sigh..just a 3 gram gain overnight for a total of 13 grams in 1 day. :gaah:

Lumpier than ever...wait for the video, I really HOPE it isn't too dark. :mrgreen:

One wonderful sidenote...I just realized (a little slow on the uptake obviously :cheeky that a very special mom and her litter come through my life every year or so in August. My first amazing crew was Bronwen and the Bronlings (they taught me sooo much, and they were wonderful rats) who were born Aug. 21/06. I said NEVER AGAIN. :wink2: Then teeny special Sweetie entered my life and a day later gave birth to 7 bubs I called the Sugarbabies (6 girls and 1 boy) and that was on Aug. 16/08. Sweetie and all her girls are still with me :thumbup:

And now Lilith...August again... :heart:
