I watched for a little while last night but had to get off of the computer. It looked like babe #1 is a tri-color just like mom. How many babys did she have? Are mom and the babes ok? What do the babes look like?
 
yeah, I know! I was watching last night and this morning but she never had any while I was watching. Then I had to go to work and missed it all.
 
I missed it too! Tab had to text me while I was at work, telling me she was having them.

She has five in total - the one born last night at 9:35PM. The other four were born sometime this afternoon.

Black and white female from last night, the rest are boys.
Two brown tabbies with white.
One solid grey tabby.
One silver tabby, mostly white.
 
All four babies were born between 12:30pm to 2:00pm PST! Around 11:30am PST Becky started having heavy contractions. We all watched and she ran in and out of the cage and drove us to the point of insanity. :D So we waited and waited...and waited...finally after the last time Becky disappeared she reappeared in the cage with the solid tabby boy in her mouth. The second she set him down with the other kittens she fell into position and pushed out the darker tabby and white boy. Aunt Cleo helped clean the two babies and Becky turned her back on us to give birth to the other tabby and white boy. They cleaned the baby thoroughly and only a short while later the last little silver and white tabby boy was born. I've condensed this so it all sounds like it happened really fast, lol, but really this was over the course of a couple hours. All the while I was texting Mish like mad with crazy "BECKY IS HAVING BABIES, OMG!!!!" "THERE ARE FOUR!! OMG!!!" all over the place. :neener:
 
She just couldn't have them while I could watch :(. There is a huge pile of newborns and the older kittens piled around Becky when I peeked in on them this morning. They keeping bringing out the "awwwws" in me :).
 
I just checked on them as well. Everyone is sleeping in a kitten pile. Younger and older just all piled together. There was a big awww there. :p
