Lizzie went for her second ultrasound on Wednesday, June 30th. She was 42 days into the pregnancy and there were 21 days left until she whelps. So were were hoping to see something that vaguely resembled this:

Instead, we discovered that the puppies are too big to fit completely into the ultrasound image.   As the vet moved the probe, we saw a head here and there, a spine, some legs and some heartbeats. The coolest moment was when the vet stopped moving the probe and we watched one of the pups move his/her head.   Since we were unable to get a clear picture to share,  I hope you find the substitute below acceptable:

During this past week, the pups have developed pigment – with this breeding, we expect the pups to be fawn or apricot – and have continued to grow.  Lizzie’s nipples have gotten much larger and she’s developing breast tissue under some of them.  She’s eating like a pig and is having a hard time finding a comfy position to sleep in.

Do you think she looks pregnant?
