project hatch: day 19

as you can see things are moving along quickly in our chick hatching world. it's a few days early but i guess hope they know what they are doing. today after work i noticed one of the eggs moving around without the assistance of anyone and i quickly realized it must be a chick trying to come out and play. very soon after i noticed the movement i heard that first little "peep"!! throughout the night Mayden and i (chris was at school) have been listening for more chirps. we'd heard lots and were pretty sure they're was more than one little noise maker. after the kids went to bed i spent a good 20 minutes staring at these eggs (crazy lady syndrome??) trying to get an idea of which ones were "active" I saw a few more shaking around and then finally i realized one of the hard to see eggs had a hole in it!!!! WOW!!! i snuck a fast picture even thought i'm not suppose to open the incubator at this point. this is happening a little faster than i thought as they aren't due until Sunday. so looks like tomorrow we'll have at least one baby chick, if not a few more. 

i'll blog about this more i'm sure but if you're looking for a more detailed minute by minute (well, it's going to be 88 degrees all weekend so i'll probably be outside a bunch) account find me on Facebook or you can follow me on Twitter @adiaspeer

stay tuned....
