Ruthie's babies (pictures finally)

Here are Ruthie's triplets.. the normal sized brown & white ones are the boys (that I actually caught as they pretty much fell out of her LOL).. the wee one is the little girl that she delivered 45 minutes later (AFTER I had reached in and felt for any more babies.. Never felt a thing!!) ... She is doing really well for as little as she is.. I am of course going to be greedy and keep her (if she makes it) she'll become Ages Ago Acres Southern Nights (barn name Sweet Tea).. in the last pictures you can see little miss Sweet Tea standing by her brothers.. boys aren't huge.. just avg. sized nubian kids.. she is teeny!
((made a couple of the pictures BIGGER))

I sure hope Sweet Tea does well for you.

For now though, we need a bigger picture!

I don't think there is anything WRONG with her.. BUT.. something made her SO much smaller.. so I'm always cautious until after they make it a week or so down the road..

Thanks for the larger pictures. She is a little darling. Looks like she has an extra big smile on her face in the close-up.

She is a dolly! I had an itty bitty this year too. We call her WeeBit. She's catching up fast.

oh, they are all beautiful! And what a flashy little thing she is.

Good name, but I wouldn't have been able to resist calling her Afterthought, or maybe Third Time's the Charm - but she is definitly a Sweet Tea!
LOL it's almost as if, Ruthie felt your disappointment, tried real hard, and managed to pull a made-to-order doeling from the ether!

Wow!!! What a size difference! Reminds me of my FF, Dee Dee & her quads back in January. Runt fell out first, and I thought "Oh! It's a peanut!" Large bro fell out next, and I thought, "OMG! It's DUMBO!" I thought she was finished, then TWO Black & White doelings just fell out of her!!! Kind of like an after thought. "Oh, here, Mom! I didn't forget that you wanted Black & White doelings. Here they are!"

Your Sweet Tea is GORGEOUS! I hope she does well for you!
