Babies on the way

Today was another first for Black Diamond Dalmatians ~ at 4:00pm this afternoon we did a pregnancy ultrasound on Jazz. It has been 30 days since Jazz was surgically implanted, which is the date the reproductive specialist in Grass Valley, CA told us we should have her checked for pregnancy status.  The good news is that Jazz is pregnant and the vet definitely saw at least 3 puppies. The bad news is that our Ortho/Trama vet isn't very skilled with the ultrasound machine and couldn't give us a rough count of puppies, nor could he find the heart beat on the 3 pups that were obvious. So it looks like we'll still need to do an x-ray a week before she is due to get a better head count. At least now I'll be able to convince Adrian to begin construction on a new puppy box! :)
