alive and kicking!

after being so worried for the past few weeks (or months... -___-) over whether or not pebble is pregnant and whether or not she will have complications when giving birth.. i thought she would give birth either yesterday or today... but nope.. she is still running and jumping ard like she isnt pregnant... she even fled from her cage when i opened the cage door.. she ran so fast that i couldnt even catch her.. so i let her run ard.. didnt think chasing after her resulting in miscarriage is smth i wanted.. nope no thanks.. so she runs ard the kitchen while i swept the floor...

but anyway.. hehe this is the exciting part!!!! i was so worried after reading abt still borns or dead fetus in a chinchilla that i often put my fingers over abdomen to feel for movements.. well thats what the websites say.. the kits are supposed to move and we can feel it.. for the past few days there wasnt any movements.. except for the imaginary ones i thought i felt...

but today!!! i carried her and there was suddenly a kick! it was such a hard kick that even pebble jumped in my hands (probably shocked her.. haha).. i was excited.. so i brought her to kah ying and told her i could feel the baby kicking.. then there it was again! (ok the reason why i said 'it' was cos i am hoping it will only be one kit...max two.. nothing more) this time it was as though the baby was cycling in pebble's womb.. haha you knoe like those repetitive kicking.. and kah ying felt it too! ok that was the exciting part...

the not so exciting part is that im leaving for home tmr for more than a week.. and im relying on friends to help me care for them.. i really hope they will be ok and things go well.. otherwise.. i think i will be miserable at home...
