Question
ok well my cat's teets have tripled in size and she has been wandering around alot. is this a sign that she is due really soon?

her teets are bright pink kinda and there is some sort of white crusty stuff on the sides.

my cat boe is also looking for a place to nest but her teets are still normal.!! what does that mean??

this is both first time pregnancy for both of them

Answer
From what you describe I would say she is in her last 10-14 days.  

The teats increase in size at around the 21 day mark but the white crusty wax comes along at around 10-14 days.  Sounds like it won't be long, especially if she is doing a lot of wandering - she is probably looking for a suitable place to have them.

Genetics however is not my strong point.
