Way to go chill!

Silly (and a bit crappy through the plastic window) pics...but, i figured I'd post a few that I could snap shots of. Still an egg though, LOL!!

if you watch really closely you can see movement at the "hole" when i moved the flashlight. Next time, i'm building a bator with a full view window and light!!!

Congrats, mommy!

I noticed you wrote on some of them. What did you use to write on them? pencil? marker? ink pen? eyeliner makeup pencil?

I collected the only two that were laid (so far) today and want to mark them with the date and pen they came from.

Thanks!

aglyphic creatures: I didn't know! And still don't know if you were serious or not since you did the roll eyes thing. I'll look elsewhere.

I was making fun of myself hon, not you!!!!! I actually used a sharpie and a pencil...it was the only thing i could find that wouldn't rub off, lol!! So sorry if you took take the wrong way!! I'm a bit of a goofball!

 

[MyKidLuvsGreenEgz]

I'm sorry I took it the wrong way. I'm just a little touchy because I'm trying to learn all of this stuff, and not make a ton more mistakes than I already have. I guess I'm at my boiling/stress-level point between my autistic suicidal son and money problems and hubby problems, and after spending an hour crying following a meltdown from my son,i took it out on you. I'm sorry. Really. Thank you. Pencil it is.

Hang in there, sometimes life sucks...I've been there! Now I just keep a sense of humor about everything, lol! It's just easier

As of 7pm.....11 pipped eggs!!!!! One is starting to zip! I never thought that keeping that incubator closed would be SO difficult!!!!
