False alarm

Friday 6pm:
Bellissima has been having mild contractions, she will be a little early as she shouldn't be due for a few days yet. Although Tasha always used to go 60 days until she had her babies it's much preferred if they go nearer the accepted 65 days. Kept checking on her all evening. Tim did our last check around the cattery and garden before bed and I stayed with Bellissima in our bedroom. She was very unsettled and still have the occasional contraction, still only mild.
Midnight:
Bellissima curled up in bed with me. She is still have the occasional mild contractions, every contraction is accompanied with her wrapping her legs around my arms.
Saturday 1am:
I awoke to Bellissima growling, yes definately a stronger contraction. She decided she needed better cuddles and wrapped herself around me. I drifted in and out of sleep, as she asked for comfort with only mild contractions, spaced well apart, for the next couple of hrs.
5am:
I think this must have been her last contraction, as after this she allowed me to sleep well until I awoke at 6.30am to get up for work.
Bellissima has now decided to wait a little longer. No contractions. The kittens inside are still gently active. Bellissima is enjoying not having contractions and is even chaseing her favourite toy mouse. Looks like she may go her full time after all. Hope I get more sleep tonight.
speak soon
