Peeks Triplets Video

The triplets are doing well. It has been a long 2 days. It was very cold outside and a heatlamp was not enough. Woke up to a 12 hour old baby so congested it could barely breathe. Gave it 2 cc of childrens Musinex and started it on Tulips colustrum that I had saved. It spent all day barely alive yesterday. Unable to stand and I had prepared myself for the worst. This morning I found it standing and had to look at marking to identify it from the others. I had moved them into the little cabin we have to keep them at a controlled temperature of 75. As of this evening it is doing really well. I am still giving additional colustrom on top of what the little one is getting from Mama. Need to get sleep as I got up every two hours last night to feed it. Here is a little video for you. UPDATE: I have named the three after famous Alpine Skiers. Dominik, Gunther and Jean Claude. Mama was named after Picabo Street. I named her that after watching how gracefully she would bounce around, run and play. The triplets are living up to the names they have been given.
