Temp drop :))

Late lastnight Hilo's temp was 98.6 degrees.  She slept in the kennel as usual and I tossed and turned while watching her on my video baby monitor :))  I never had one of those for my kids......but it is sure handy for the dogs/puppies!!  This morning......the temp  was 98.1 degrees; so this is the drop we have been waiting for.  It is exciting......but leads into some more wait time as the early labor period can go on for many hours.  Hilo is stretched out on the floor trying to keep cool, and seems to be having a harder time getting comfortable.  She is starting to have periods of heavier breathing.....which will eventually transition into a lot of panting and more evident contractions.  The whelping area and supplies are all ready to go and the camera battery is charged :))  I will be sure to post as soon as there is more news.
