Birthing Gerbils

Our gerbil had babies last week. January 13, 2008 the same birthday as our cat (we had a party for the cat). Why is so easy for the gerbils to give birth to something and so hard for kidwinks.com. The gerbils, Sunny and Rocket weren't supposed to have babies. When we bought them they were supposed to be sisters. They were pretty young when we got them. They shared the same cage so they could hangout and play with each other. One day I noticed that Sunny was much larger than her sister Rocket. A couple of days later my sons came running upstairs yelling that Sunny had a baby. We instantly separated Rocket from mom and baby. Now I have two cages to clean. The baby didn't make it. Sunny was too young still when she had him. So you ask, if they are in two cages how could she get pregnant again? I wish they could fix rodents. When we take them out of the cage to play we let them run around together. We had to pull Rocket off of Sunny a lot but I thought we were on top of it. Seems we were a little too slow. So a couple of weeks ago I noticed that she was looking big again. She also started chewing everything and anything. Non stop chewing. She was getting ready to have her babies. That is what we are doing too. I think that the website is in labor. I am quickly trying to get everything ready for the delivery but I feel a bit overwhelmed. And like when I was going to have my children the hardest part was not knowing exactly when it was going to happen. One would think that giving birth to website would be more like having a cesarean. But it's not! This time it is the web developer who is in charge not the baby. Which is worse?

We still haven't seen the babies but we have heard them. Mom is keeping them undercover. I can't wait to see them.
