 :love: mum looks very proud.  :trophy:

She may have some bleeding for up to a week, perfectly normal  :thumbsup: as long as it's only spots of blood after a few days. Will be fresh and can be heavy or clotted for the first couple of days, but  the amount should be much reduced after that.

I'm surprised it's only the odd spot of blood.  Most of mine lose quite a bit for the first week or so after parturition.  Sometimes longer.  So long as she stays well, is eating and drinking well she should be fine.
She looks very contented.

No, mine open their eyes at 10 days!  But yes, I do have them in the same room as me for that length of time. :eyelashes:
