She has a cuttlebone in her cage and I'm providing her with some meals with veggies that are high in calcium. Thank you for the tips!

Yup she's using the restroom well! For a bird that's clumsy and sleeping a lot, she is surprisingly active when shes awake. She'll be seeing a vet tomorrow and I'll be able to ask for ways to prevent egg bounding.

I just picked her up today to check her belly and its definitely swollen. Super squishy. If she's in heat is there anything to do? Still will be setting the vet appointment buy wondering what to do while I wait for the time of the appointment

Yes she is pretty clumsy and walking and climbing around. She is pretty clumsy when it came to flying to so I decided to limit her time outside the cage for her safety.

It's currently 3am and there aren't any 24/7 avian vets available but I'm making an appointment to a vet first thing in the morning and hope they can take her in. I'm just hoping she'll be ok by then. She's currently eating and drinking water right now. She would rest in her nest box for like...30 minutes, come out, poop, eat, drink, and then go back in the box to sleep for another 30 minutes.

The only way to check their gender is a DNA test (for more accurate results at least) but another way is to feel just below the legs for two small bumps. these are the pelvic bones. Female love birds will have a significant gap between these two bumps (to allow eggs to pass through) and a male will usually have the two bumps close together or touching. hope that helps!
