Day 19--humidity dropped to 51% should I put a sponge in there?

Again, Im a first time hatcher, and nervous as all heck! No peeps or pips yet, but the humidity appears to have dropped. Before I open the bator and mess everything up, what do you all think I should do? Humidity should be higher than 51% shouldnt it? Help!

60 - 70% humidity for the last 3 days is good. I kept mine at 65%. Can you add water through the vent hole using a straw and syringe? I did it that way during the last 3 days so I wouldn't have to open the top.

Ah...
Thank you! I wouldnt have thought of that. I just did it, and now the humidity is up to 61%.
