Just keep an eye on the situation to ensure that they all get a nipple and are gaining weight. When I had a foster family, the 3 girls all fought for the "best" nipples. Typically they will sort it out and all of them will get milk...but I would have some KMR on hand in case one doesn't seem to be gaining weight like the others.

Katie is right, they do slap each other around for the best position. *grin* It is funny to watch sometimes, but they do eventually work it out among themselves.
I must have missed the delivery notice ... how many Kittens do you have?

You have olive green kittens???? Oh my! *wink*
The biggest kitten from my last (foster) litter would nurse with his arms spread wide, keeping the two nipples next to him free of another kitten. I don't know if he would nurse from the nipples later or not! What a piggy boy! I did have one of the litter who failed to gain weight like the others, so I supplemented with bottle feedings, and now he is doing great.
Congratulations on the healthy babies. You are going to see a LOT of fighting among the kittens as they grow. Sometimes they bite hard enough to make the other kittens cry! It is all part of the learning process!

Me, too, so I could see your babies! I just got my digital camera for Christmas, after asking for several years. I take way more pics of cats and kittens than of my kids!
