Mattress Pad Twin

Close to Whelping time, Do I have everything?
Ok, so I have done all the proper things in getting my girl ready for puppies including OFA,CERF,Heart, and Thyroid. Ch Sire and Bitch. She is day 59 today.
Have been taking her temp now 3x a day and no drop yet. I expect her to whelp over the weekend. Here is what I have ready.
Whelping Box with pig rail.
old blankets & old towels to rub down pups
puppy wee pads for the under the dam
dental floss and scissors for the cords
suction thingy
puppy formula and 1 bottle (insurance ;-0)
hot water bottle
nice quiet room with adequate heat.
calcium tablets for after she whelps
beef liver for after whelping ( I was told by my mentor to feed it raw)
directions for the 24 hour vet incase of complications after hours.
Twin Size mattress for me to sleep on.
Is there anything else I forgot?
She was bred on Dec 23 and 24th natural ties. Saw 4 pups on U/S but I think there may be 1-2 more. Bouv’s usually have 6-8.
Bella is doing fine and pups move alot!

“Ready” box complete with hot water bottle just in case you have to make a dash to the ER vet with dam and pups.
Hair dryer- after I towel the pups off.. I dry them and hand back to mom.
Hemostats- clamp off a too short umbilicus (not necessary but great to have on hand).. then you can tie it (also handy when the dam decides she’s going to have 3 pups in 5 minutes).
I wouldn’t bother with the wee pads under the dam.. I use about 40-50 layers of newspapers (so I can pull up a few layers as needed) and a ton of towels then I just do laundry.
Edit: My favorite book- The Whelping and Rearing of Puppies by Muriel Lee… has a great explanation of slinging.
