There have been some indirect signs - she's been quieter. She will run and get her ball, then circle the room once and suddenly need nap. She's skipped breakfast a few times (definitely a notable event!).
And I've palpated her abdomen and found numerous superball-typed locules floating about there - those would be puppies!
She's due July 11, and should deliver, if all goes well, within 2 days either side of that date.
Right now she is on her normal diet, but that will gradually increase over the next few weeks, as will her size.
We will keep you posted on her progress.
Here is a photo taken of her a few weeks before she was bred:

And this one was taken yesterday:
There isn't much change that you can see - perhaps her underline (underneath from the ribcage back) is a bit lower. What you can see in person is that she's quite wide thru the loin - no more hourglass figure if you look from above. This makes sense as the uterus sits high in the body - above the intestines and other abdominal organs.
Look for more photos and news as we go thru the next five weeks!
