thanks, we are pleased with how everything turned out for Obie. We did weigh the kids:

buckling- 3 lbs 2 oz
doeling 1(less white)- 3 lbs 13 oz
doeling 2- 3 lbs 6 oz

they seem to be nursing well so far from what we have seen and Obie is very attentive to them. Its chilly and overcast today and they are making use of the warming barrel.

Next up is Rio- tomorrow is day 145 for her...will see what if any changes are starting for her at chores tonight....I'd be just fine if she took a day or so before kidding-I have to finish a unit tomorrow
