YEAH!!!! Our last cria has arrived! We had another girl.  Opal, our princess, went into labor on Sunday afternoon, just a few hours after my last posting.  She didn't make things easy on herself.  She laid down for most of her labor.  Venus was born just before 4 pm on Sunday, June 3.  She is white with lots of curls and crimp.  Her fiber looks like berber carpet.  She is very small: 12 lbs 6 oz at birth.  Her mama is our smallest female.  Our vet came out the next day to check on her.  She was not premature.    She has spent the first week being very passive but now that she is 10 days old, she runs and plays with Mocha.
