My mercury thermometer is reading right at 101 and probe at 37.4 CELSIUS witch is 99.32 and they are on opposite sides of the bator so the eggs will be right at 100 degrees how good does that sound.

That sounds really good, Seth! You should swap sides to make sure the temp is the same on both sides. It should be, but it's better to make sure you don't have any cool or hot spots in the bator. It looks like you're almost ready to set some eggs!!! Did you calibrate your hygrometer to make sure the humidity is correct?

I added a baby bottle top in the egg rail while I don't have eggs waiting to see.I will probably fill two of the small water troughs with a couple pennies and water the first 18 day's then three and a wet sponge 18 to 21

Okay, you did what you needed to do to make sure your temps are right. Now you need to do what you need to make sure humidity is right. You can't guess at temp or humidity, so let's calibrate the hygrometer now. Here is a video that shows an easy way to check how accurate your hygrometer is...
