on expected hatch day,do you stay home or not?

I don't stay home...in fact I like it when I have to be gone most of the day....cuts down on the trips up and down the basement steps!!

 

I'm with Katy. After going through my current hatch, I think it would be best if I could see 1 hatch then have to leave for the rest. Too much temptation!!

 

i am going to have to hve someone drag me away from the incubator. I know I will be too tempted and open it and ruin them all. Maybe I'll just watch one...good luck! I've still got two weeks...

 

You know what they say about watch eggs... or is it pots?

 

I usually set so that I am home when they hatch. I'll set in the AM for a weeken hatch and an afternoon for a night hatch. It isn't always perfect, but I am usually home to watch them arrive.

 

My eggs are at school. During my first hatch I managed to pull myself away from the incubator those last few days, and then soon after returning to the school for hours into the night.

Then, I'd drag myself home for bed. Only to wake up in the wee hours of the morning driving to school before the janitor even. (On hatch day I was there at 6. I'm usually there at 7:30-8).

It's draaaaining.

(Next batch due NEXT Wednesday!)

 

I really should plan my hatches better but I have babies due on thursday and I working a double at work. Being a icu nurse I don't think my coworkers or patients would appreciate it if I took time off every 3 weeks. I have two grown daughters home, one works in the afternoons and one is home from school in the evening. So I will have it covered, they will be texting me and sending me pics when the pipping begins.

 

I go on with whatever I have planned. As hard as it is to be away,it would drive me crazy sitting at home,watching them. Kind of like Christmas,it comes quicker when you go to sleep.
