Cute pups. wipe em down and rub em up real good! Get the vitals flowing... keep them close to mom.

also, when you think mom is finished you need to give her some more time. If this is her first litter she may get exhausted and need to rest. don't get too concerned. when she gets her strength back she will produce some beautiful pups!
Sounds like the voice of experience has just spoken.
