November 21, 2010: After a few days of wondering if Gracie was experiencing a false pregnancy (read more about false preggo's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_pregnancy), over the weekend I was able to spend some quality time with Gracie.
The little puppies in her belly are active! When I lay my hand against her side I can feel them squirming like little snakes and bopping their little heads like popcorn. She isn't overly big for being ~9 days from delivering her puppies but I am sure I can feel two puppies - one on either side of her belly. (*edit: we've learned that we were probably feeling the horns of her uterus and not individual puppies, but still very very neat!*)
She is filling up with milk! It is very obvious more so today.
She got a full grooming yesterday and we've been giving her lots and lots of gentle back massages which she is soaking up like nobody's business.

Nesting already!!! It fascinates me that dogs have this natural instinct:
