She is Growing

My days have been starting earlier and earlier, as little Mama to be, Anneliese gets me up to go outside into the wilds of my back yard. After a little coffee, we usually chat on Skype with a friend of ours down in Australia named Bernie. Anneliese will tuck herself next to me and listen to the conversation and even watch the screen. Today I was able to get a picture of her as she listened to the conversation.

Anneliese is just about 3 weeks from her due date. I can’t believe how big she has gotten! She is hungry, but wants to eat smaller, more frequent meals, and she sleeps an awful lot. I also get her outside too, so she can stretch her little legs! Then we come back inside and she climbs up onto the couch and falls asleep.

I love watching her, seeing her ever expanding waistline! I swear each day she grows more and more.

On Thursday we will bring her in for her next ultrasound. I hope then we can see the babies a little more clearly and perhaps get an idea of how many she has in there.

Meanwhile I am pondering names for this litter. This is my D litter so all the names must begin with D and must be good German names. Here are a few I found. Let me know which ones you like, or if you have any others I should consider.

Boys

  • David
  • Detlev
  • Dieter
  • Dietreich
  • Dirk
  • Dolf
  • Dylan

Girls

  • Dagmar
  • Danjana
  • Danica
  • Dania
  • Daniela
  • Danja
  • Dina
  • Dora

  1. Hi Maribeth,
    I´m happy to hear Anneliese is pregnant:-)Wish good luck!!!
    Dirk and Detlef are very german names for little boys, for a girl I very like the name “DOREEN”…
    Best wishes,
    Sybille from Berlin

  2. I like these names for the boys: Dieter and Dylan
    and for the girls: Daniela and Dina.
    What about Daniel for the boys names too?

  3. I like Dirk and Danny/Daniel. Is Dane German? Like Dagmar, Danica, and Dina. Anymore than that………….poor Anneliese !!!

  4. She behaves like my DIL, lol ! Dario said she is getting fat and the baby moves now.
    Dietrich, and not Dietreich ! Daniel is also a nice name. Dolf I never heard, and Dylan was English in my younger years. I like Dirk the most.

  5. Well, of what you have listed, I’m partial to Dieter (because that’s one of my pet names for my Derek) and Danica – just because it’s pretty. But… I’m REALLY partial to DEREK – (or Darek) – because it’s Derek… and I also like Durin … for the runt! For girls I’m partial to Delmi — especially if HER owners plan to breed her – because if she’s a mom, I would HOPE she would be a great protector!

  6. I like Dagmar for a girl – I actually know someone named Dagmar! I also like Dimana (Bulgarian name) or Didi for a girl. I likre Dara better than Dora (Dora akes me think of the children’s cartoon called Dora the Explorer!)
