Growing up my family would do the 12 days of Christmas in secret for another family.  It was a highlight of Christmas and added to the anticipation.  When we have a mommy Bichon expecting we experience a lot of anticipation.  Here is a glimpse into what happens during the days leading up to delivery.  This precious mom is due around October 10th, so this will be like the 12 days to Delivery!

Day One: Mama is still feeling well!  She is active and playful and has a healthy appetite.  We watch out for her going up and down stairs or trying to make leaps she is used to doing, but might not be a good idea right now. She runs a little hotter than usual, so she likes the cool wood floor and the leather couch.
