My 1-week-old puppies are restless with purplish skin. Is this normal?

Question

I have one week old puppies and a couple like to crawl away from the others and the mom into corners and cry a lot. And are pretty restless. And there noses and skin around them seems to be fading in color and turning more purplish. Is this a problem, what should I do? Thanks.

It doesn't sound like there is a problem with the behavior, it's absolutely normal for puppies and the mother should not have any problem handling this. regarding the fading color of the skin, i'm sure it's normal as well but if you would like a more accurate answer please upload a picture so we can see what you are talking about.
