Oh my gosh they are gorgeous. Is that a warm brown tabby and darker brown tabby? Congratulations to you and Kitty :-)
She finally came out to use the litter box so I got some pics!
I absolutely agree that moving them somewhere where the kiddos can't get to them without supervision is necessary. No matter how well behaved your three year old is he's still three and they don't always remember how to be as gentle as they need to be. Keeping the kids and the kittens separated until they are older (and even then only have interactions when supervised) is going to be critical!
I would call the vet first and see if they want you to disturb mama and her babies by bringing them in, I would think it would be traumatic for a new mother.Definitely keep them somewhere where your three year old can't get to them. He is too young to know how to handle young kittens, I saw a young child squeeze a kitten to death and it was horrible, and was that quick! I felt like removing all the rest from that house! (they did end up all right) Congratulations on your kittens! Please give all a kiss from me!
Wow- that ended up being a pretty significant suspended birth! Do you know how much time there was between the second kitten and the third? Hopefully she is all done now and you can tell. Not to beat a dead horse but given this, if things still seem off I would really urge a vet visit. Now it's well past the time of a suspended labor and if any kittens are still in there they could be in serious danger. Your gut was right on about there still being more in there so listen to what it tells you now. Given your short post my guess is you are pretty confident that she is done, and you are probably right. Usually you can tell just based on size and the stomach going down.Well kitty ended up having another kitten last night. It's doing great. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
