I am so tatering close to killing DH right now, you have NO idea!! I must have told the man a thousand times not to touch my chit. He doesn't know what I am doing, what I do, just leave my chit alone... you aren't helping just LEAVE MY CHIT ALONE!!!!

I have ESPECIALLY told him to leave the incubating alone, other than helping to candle. He's completely clueless about the process....... but seriously folks... what does the words LOCK DOWN mean to you?!?!?

I woke up around 3:22 in a major state of panic. No joke. This week is stressing me all sorts of tatering out. I think I am wearing Willy Wonkas watch.... so much to do so little time to do it..... :barnie

Right now I feel like reaching over and punching DH so HE can be awake and worried right along with me. Jackass.

Smuvey, wish I could gone you some advice, but I've never incubated eggs before. Hopefully someone else gets with you soon, and hopefully the derps are resilient enough to survive the humidity change. Are they still responding to you? Could you put a slightly damp, folded paper towel in the bator without having to open it very wide to help bring the humidity up a little? I'm hoping the lack of movement is just them taking a break and resting/conserving energy so they can break out of their shells in a few hours.

I added warm water through the top and the humidity rose quite well and quite quickly. I feel I MIGHT have to help Seven hatch as it has pecked a hole through the shell, not really zipping. Friggen derp!

I slept pretty well for 4 hours or so. Don’t even remember when I pulled the Milk Drinker into bed with us. But now I’m wide awake and he is asleep. Staring at my phone probably isn’t helping me get back to sleep.

Darn! If I had known you were awake I could have asked you to take the puppy out!
 
Happy 2nd Day of Spring!!!
