I forgot to post yesterday that I've had Peaches for two weeks now!
How soon before I'll be able to tell what gender the babies are? I'd like to name them instead of calling them baby one, two, and so on.
I'm pretty sure babies 2 and 4 are boys. It's hard to tell on babies 1 and 3. I think baby 3 might be a boy, but I'm not sure. Guess I'll have to wait until they are bigger.
Update: found a flea on one of the kittens, and was like NOPE! I've been reading up on kitten animia, and Fading Kitten Syndrom. Was not going to take that chance. So everyone got a bath tonight. Kittens did pretty good. Mommy was non to happy, but she didn't bite or scratch. Also got them a new sleeping place. The nesting box was getting a little cramped for Mommy and kittens to be in there at the same time. So I went out and got a medium sized doggy bed with raised sides, and put their freshly cleaned flannel blanket in it. I think their happy.

I went through, and flea combed everybody. Only got the one off the baby, but will be going to the vet for more flea medicine for mommy tommorrow. Almost all the babies eyes are completely open. Baby three just has one eye all the way, and baby two's eyes are both partially opened. I will keep you updated. Feel free to suggest some names. I'm feeling pretty confident that babies two, and three are boys. Baby two is the kitten with the two big orange spots on it's head, and Baby four is the all orange one.
I've had Peaches for three weeks now. I can't believe one more week and it'll be a month. Everybody is doing good after their bath yesterday. Got the flea medicine on Mommy, so hopefully it'll take care of any I might have missed.
