I was in the barn at 4:30 on May 2nd, and nothing was going on with Starlight.  She looked perfectly content and "normal".  I went in and made supper.  At 6:30 I was getting my milking stuff together when my 7 year old came running, saying, "Starlight has three babies!"  I ran out as fast as I could and sure enough, she had three kids on the ground!  I have no idea who came first.  She had all their faces clean, but their bodies were still partly in their sacks.  Pretty awesome for a FF doe!  She seems to be doing an awesome job caring for all her kids.

And with that, I get to get full nights of sleep for a while! :)
