Next week we knew we'd possibly be able to detect the puppies' fetal movements, but I decided to look for it this week instead. Our stethoscope is obviously too cheap and we can't hear any heartbeats. :( But sure enough, we could feel the puppies moving around in Maya's fat little tummy. If you looked closely enough, you could even see her tummy wave whenever a puppy would make lots of movements. It's quite an experience! And we're getting sooooo anxious as the weeks go by. Two weeks left! :) Her ultrasound/x-ray is scheduled for November 2nd.
