The Final Tally

The final count: 16 chicks. Out of 24 eggs, 7 never developed into chicks and one pipped, but died in-ovum. Not too bad, I guess, for an attempt to hatch chicks this late in the year. With any luck, we'll be getting our first eggs sometime around Easter and perhaps start our next brood of chicks next Summer!

On the baby front: no baby yet. Vicki's appointment this morning ended with a trip home and a "come back next Tuesday".

Now, I just know this baby is planning on messing up our weekend. Kenzie has her tournament (Saturday AND Sunday) in Salisbury (about 90 minutes to 2 hrs away, depending on beach traffic), and everyone else has soccer games on Saturday, except Alex, who'll be reffing all day. To complicate things further, Alex and Connor are scheduled to be Altar Servers at the Saturday evening Mass and I won't be home from Salisbury until much later. Kenzie and I are going to have to get up early and go to 7:00 am Mass on Sunday and then head back to the tournament. If her team goes to the championship game on Sunday, we won't be getting home until very late. This would be easier if her team had more than 9 players, but it doesn't. The tenth girl recently broke her wrist. They need everyone there, if at all possible.
Kearsyn, if you want to make friends with your future siblings, you'll just relax where you are until next week, girl. It won't help that Vicki will be driving kids around all over the Island in my absence on Saturday. It's a good thing she's made from pioneer stock.

Congrats on the chickies.

Yeah. Sounds like a baby weekend to me.

We'll pray the baby waits until next weekend. Would that be okay?
