She's still having trouble nursing - she can't stand long enough, and gets tired of even holding her head up long enough to nurse, and Bonnie moves around a bit, expecting the baby to follow. So I have to help by holding Bonnie in place.

But the baby has been out in the barn since we got back from town about an hour ago, and is holding her temperature well anyway. We'll bring her in for the night, and take her out to nurse in the middle of the night, just to make sure she does not die of hypothermia in the middle of the night. It is supposed to get down to 20 below tonight, and since it has been about 10 below for most of the day, with the wind blowing hard, it probably will.

We decided to name the boy Blizzard, and the girl Winter.
