Nervous New Momma Hen here - please help!

I am beyond worried that I am making a mistake with "lockdown." I put the eggs in the incubator on the morning of 3/15 around 7:30 a.m. If I am correct, and I am hoping I am, I should begin lockdown tomorrow morning. My plan was to go into school early and take care of everything. Now I am second guessing myself that lockdown should have been today. My understanding is that the day you set them (which was a Wed for me) - that hatch day should be on Wednesday as well. If I did indeed make a mistake, did I just botch the whole thing by not doing lockdown today? I will get up early and be at school around 8:00 a.m. - but depending on how you look at it, it could be day 19. I would really appreciate some feedback - I don't want to have a roomful of sad kinder babies (although I have gently been preparing for the worst). :0

Thanks so much!
