Our first adult male arrived about 2:30 p.m. today. Just in time for the extremely cold weather. Just praying he makes it.

Put a hand warmer in his cavity if it's going to get real cold. That'll help him through the night.

Hope he makes it. I'm glad mine haven't come in yet. It's very cold here.

Good luck.
