On our way to the emergency vet with one of the kittens UPDATE
I have a not-so-great update today.
When we went in this morning, one of the kittens had one of its eyes open. We figured that was ok, since all of their eyes should be opening any day now. But all day, he's been screaming as though he's in pain. He would nurse, but continue to cry.
To make things worse, Delilah is such a good Mom that she kept going back to the box to nurse, and she started to get stressed out and started panting  We managed to keep her away from the kittens for about 1/2 hour so she could get some sleep, but the kitten was crying the whole time.
We're going to take him in and see if there's something they can do for him. He just seems as though he's in a lot of pain.
This is really stressing me out, which is upsetting DH since I'm not really supposed to be getting stressed...

Re: On our way to the emergency vet with one of the kittens
UPDATE:
Well, I'm happy to say that things seemed to have calmed down a bit in the nursery. Before going to the vet, we went downstairs to have lunch and talk about our plan of action. When we went back up, everyone was sleeping peacefully--including the kitten AND Delilah. We watched them for almost an hour, and everything was fine! Everyone nursed and went right to sleep.
We decided to go to the supermarket and come back and reassess. Everyone was still peaceful, and the kitten that had been crying has settled down tremendously. We feel that maybe his eye was forced open (perhaps by another kitten's claws) and it probably caused him pain. But he seems ok now--we will recheck him in the morning.
Thanks everyone for your support--we are so in love with these little guys already, it's going to be really hard to give them away in a few months.
