Well after all the waiting and pacing, Sparkle gave birth to 3 babies during the night. Sadly one of them was stillborn.
There is a girl and a boy. Mum and babies doing well.

Thanks eveyone. All is still well.
Maz, I did originally think 3 but then thought there must be more as she was so big. 2 of the babies were very big and 1 a bit smaller, So thats probably why she was so fat!

They haven't got names yet but I think we are going with a 'chocolate/sweetie' theme as the last babies are Fudge and Rolo.

Yes, They ar quite big. The girl is lot bigger than the boy. He weighed in at 68g and she was 108g! The girl that died was also very big, I'd say she was in between those weights - probably more towards the bigger end. No wonder Sparkle was so big!!
