Absolutely adorable little girls and good to here about the after birth. You certainly sound like you've a lot on your hands. Don't blame you for catching naps when you can :)

As for the afterbirth thing, if it goes for more than 12 hours, call your vet and tell him what is going on and ask for Oxytocin, it is a hormone that will make her uterus contract. I just went through this (my doe had not discharged it for a day and a half - I should have called the vet a lot sooner). My vet charged me like $14 for six doses, so it's not very expensive. My vet also said to start her on five days of Penicillin to combat any uterus infection that may have started up. He said if she get's a bad enough infection she wont get pregnant next go around.
