On Jan 4th my Br. Velvet Marissa gave birth to 2 little darlings.
A hetero female, and a velvet male. T1 & T2
She a pro and never had a hitch.
I got to see these born as well.
The first pic is hot out of the oven.

Congrats on the kits.

  Go Debbie go!!!!!  You finally got to see a live up close & personal delivery!!!!! 
I remember your funny story about setting up cameras, staying up all night for weeks, etc.....only to miss them all.  So now you & I are both on a roll, huh? 
EXCELLENT photos!!!  Love the "right from the hatch" one, awesome!  That precious new little life.

Watching them give birth is so nerve racking!  Congratulations on the newest little ones!

Watching them give birth is so nerve racking!

Isn't it though, should I help? Is she in disstress? Then when this one got flung out, her head went down to clean herself. I took the corner of fleece and put over the kit and gave a little rub.
Well she pushed me right out of the way,nipped his little head and neck, nothing, she bit his toe and he jumped.She then sat right on his chest until he wiggled, then she eased off. He went right to feet and headed right straight in under her.
It all happened so fast & naturally, amazing every time.
Yes Joyce, I wouldn't have seen them this time only it was pm and not am.

Congratulations!  Looks like two brown velvets, just like mom!

     Strange how nature takes over and it all works out.  I laughed when I read she nipped it's toe and then it jumped ... the ole wives tale that a human baby is spanked to get it to start breathing, when actually, most doctors, tickle the bottom of the baby's foot to stimulate it.

     Yep, momma chin will let you know in no uncertain terms to "butt-out" when help is not needed.  When help is needed, you will see that she tries to co-operate with you.  They just seem to know.

I completely agree.
I've noticed the same thing with some of my chins when they are ill...  I have some that will hold still if I need to put ointment in the eye or who will cooperate a bit more when it comes to oral medication.  Not all, but some.

An up date on these 2.
One is a hetero beige, and the other a tov homo.
They are both just so cute.
Funny every time I think T1 and T2 I think "Thing 1 and Thing 2" Dr Seuss.
Hard to see the mask on the little male still, though it's much clearer in person.
The top pic is of the 2  nose to nose, and the bottom one is just the tov homo.

Awww they're getting so big already!  And SO cute!

I can see the mask!  How cute!

My only complaint with kits ... they grow up to fast!

They are beautiful ... mom and dad should be proud of these two.
