Don, so sorry to hear about the poor outcome.
Hope the little survivor does well, and best wishes for the other expectant mom.

Re: I'm bummed...

Aww, it's okay Don.
You'll be getting plenty of babies from my gal.
Also, I was wondering this... If one were to manually open the sack on individuals who seemed to be having trouble, would they live? Are they attached to the sack?
