Here's some sneak peak pics of #4. Eyes are open! No down on this baby yet. View attachment 2290257View attachment 2290258View attachment 2290259
I am taking pics daily, but only 1 minute max for each baby per day. I'm treating it like lockdown at all times. Humidity is staying nice and high. I love the little white egg tooth.

Awesome photos! It really is an amazing process. I agree - that little egg tooth - .

@JaeG @SnapdragonQ do any of you have any idea how I should apply this ointment? I've never used it before. Can I put it on a q-tip and rub it on or something?

A q-tip probably is the easiest.

Thanks! They're so cool. I really hope they make it. Day 14 today! Just one more week!
