[Janet]

Yes, they were born during the day...but I'd been up with her since 11:00 PM the night before. I knew she was in stage 1 labor and all she wanted to do was walk the hallway, back and forth every 15-20 minutes. So I didn't get much sleep at all.

I tried find a sub for the bus, but we only had a couple and they couldn't drive. So, I kept Ricky home from school and he played mid-wife. I left at 4 minutes till 7 AM and the first one was born at 7:01 AM. I was only gone 90 minutes so I got to see the last two be born. His Dad was here, but he didn't have a clue, because he didn't see any of the other litters born. I'm so happy and proud Ricky paid attention and had the confidence to stay and help Gidget.
