Drip, drop, leaky egg

All I did was look at your photo and thought to myself, “That almost looks like dew!” :rofl:

You’re right, it does.

But I’m gonna steadfastly refuse to name anybody who hasn’t hatched yet. I mean, Aurelius was “Egg #3” until he fully emerged and “the miracle baby” well past that. Lol

Any updates on this little eggy?

Still looks about the same. I just had a peek. :woman_shrugging:

No news is still good news!

It is, indeed. There’s no noticeable issue to either of these eggs, which I’m taking as further encouragement that they’ll hatch approximately on schedule.

I have hope that they will hatch for you.

Heck, if Leaky is any indication, you might just have a mega grower baby in there!

Lol could be! Guess we’ll find out soon.

Eggs still looking like eggs?

They are. Very much eggy. Not at all pippy. Lol

I was going to message you and ask about some Leaky prenatal particulars. The “dewdrops” on mine were still there last night. This morning, it seems there is much less moisture outside the egg. Did Leaky leak evenly right up to pipping?

Leaky did not leak evenly. At first there was a leak, that kind of congealed but got knocked loose. As they got closer to hatching, Leaky’s egg started to deflate, likely due to moisture absorption.

Hmm. Okay, thanks. Time ticks on by, and things still look pretty normal. I hope that soon I can post pippies. :slightly_smiling_face:

As long as the egg looks like an egg and doesn’t smell, I’d say just keep waiting for pips any day!

That’s pretty much the plan. There’s no unpleasant scent at all, so I’m just doing nothing as per usual at this point in incubation. And looking it numerous times daily, also as per usual at this point in incubation. :rofl:

Here’s a current picture. The moisture (and yes, Jess, the term “dewdrop” is stuck in my head! :upside_down_face:) is beginning to reappear. If I sniff very determinedly there’s beginning to be a bit of that scent detectable shortly before pippies pip. Is there only whiff of this scent because it’s just in my head? Because it’s not quite time? Because there are only two eggs? Some combination of those things? Yeah, maybe. But I can state with certainly that the denouement is closer today than when I first posted. :grin:

I wonder if the moisture disappearance/reappearance is due to the motion of the little one in egg? :thinking: Would also point to the being closer to hatching that your nose senses!

I wondered that as well. I am hoping so. I can’t take much more suspense this season!

I feel that, haha. Hopefully these two don’t keep you waiting too much longer.

Any Labor Day updates, or still just eggs?
