You could do what I do....surf BYC and Ebay for more eggs to replace these ones that are hatching and keep yourself in a constant neurotic state!!! lol

That's too funny - I'm sufferinf from incubation paranoia too...

Want to know what my hubby said to keep my mind off the eggs in the incubator - put one between your boobs and focas on hatching that!!!

Considering I'm boob feeding atm it isn't practical BUT when I'm through I'm planning on giving it a go!!!!

Good luck!!!

I'm day 19 and beside myself...
