    UMmm. Does baby have a long umbilical cord, or is it separated OK? And size wise is it smaller than the others?

    Nope he detached from the cord no problem and not sure he's the first to come out

    Well if he detached OK, that's a big concern overall. Probably pretty small comparably, and he might have a harder time getting started (feeding, shedding, etc). Take care of him like you would do with the others. It would not be the first story I have seen with an unabsorbed yolk, and though I haven't dealt with it personally, I read ALOT about all things BP. I am sure a pro will comment in the morning to offer more encouragement :D

    Did some research for ya. There are a few threads dealing with unabsorbed yolks, but they were still attached.
