Evan,
You forgot one very important thing. After you have stayed up four days and
four nights without blanket or pillow and you can't keep your eyes open
another minute, that is when the whelping will begin.

Last June, when Stevie was due, I had spent four nights with little to no
sleep. She would stay in her box and tear it up. I was convinced each of
those
four nights was "THE night". There was a pretty large window for when she
would deliver, and I was looking at the possibility of several more nights in
the garage on a lawn chair and at that point, I was a walking zombie. A wise
woman suggested I put Stevie in the master bedroom in a soft sided crate,
saying, she'd certainly wake me up if it was "time". I folded several old
quilts under the fabric crate on top of the carpet, Stevie was comfortable but
still anxious. She and JR had had quite a romance from the start, so I left
him with us, and as she lay in the crate, he would lay on the outside and
against it, so except for the wall of fabric, they snuggled. He looked
worried,
but she rested. Sure enough, we both knew when it was time.
Try the fabric crate idea. Worked like a charm for me:)
