She could tell she was nearing her due date. She was rounder than ever, exhausted beyond just from being busy with the occasional check in with Ira (even though she promised to rest more) and preparing for the arrival of two more litters, and the cramps came more often now. She knew she would have them sometime over the next week, and so she was more insistent than ever that she needed to get everything in order.
It was still pretty early in the morning, so she was sorting through her plants and making sure they all looked okay. She had gathered as much as she could until this point, and now she needed to make sure she still had plenty for herself and the two other mothers, as well as anyone that might get injured or sick.
Obviously, she wasn't moving as quickly and efficiently as she normally did, so her tasks took her longer, but she tried not to let that stress her out. She just focused on her task. And when she was done here, she would head to the den and work some on preparing it, then maybe she would find some time to rest if she could let herself relax with still so much to do.
