Oh Jen, I'm so excited for you! And like Pam, I can't wait for the *Cuteness Overload* pics. Unfortunately I have no experience with newborn kittens.
We did have a feral momma cat have kittens in our warehouse here at work once. As soon as they were big enough to walk, I brought them in the office with me while I was working. I didn't want to touch them before that because I didn't want momma to move them or abandon them. They were so adorable - two greys and an orangie. We left food for momma and a litter box, which the kittens started using too. Eventually we had to get rid of them because they would lay on top of my desk, right on top of all my work - as we all know cats will do - and I couldn't get anything done. We found good homes for all three, and I know that one of them is still in that home and doing very well (my bosses SIL adopted him). My boss stumbled on the kittens when he was working in the warehouse. I think momma moved them there because there was no "mess" from the birth.
So I know this isn't helpful, except that momma did everything and all I did was enjoy the kittens and play with them to socialize them. They were a little scared at first, but they were so young that they couldn't run away fast enough. They had to submit to my cooing and adoring pets.
Good luck with the vet visit. I hope it all works out and you have pregnant momma home soon.
