YEAH SORRY I'M SO EXCITED.
I'll stop with the caps now but OH MY GOD. (okay there's gonna be lots of caps) My chicks started peeping tonight!! :) :) :)
I was laying on my bed minding my own business, and my mom had guests in the house so she put the dogs in her room. And the doorway to her room is right across the hall from mine. So the dogs had been there for a little and they started whimpering. And their whimpers sound like peeping so I jumped up with a start and start at the incubators, which are across the room, and I heard nothing. Then I heard my doggies whimpering again and I got sooo disappointed.
And I realized a huge knot had formed in my stomach of excitement because guys...I've been working on this project for 3 weeks now! How can I not get excited?! Answer: I can't not get excited. You follow?
So I'm sitting there all disappointed and glum and wah :( my chicks weren't peeping yet.
WRONG.
I hear a faint peep, just as I hear my mom say "byyye thanks for coming!" to the last guests of the party she had.
I don't even know how fast I lept across the room, but it was a straight leap. Not even several steps. Just a huge leap across my room. And I press my ear up against the incubator and I listen. And all I could hear was my mom doing the dishes in the kitchen, and the wind blowing outside.
And I listen.
AND THEN BAM WHAM SLAM. No actually it was just the faintest little peep ever.
But it was there!!! Right there! Right in that little box that I'd had in my room for yes, 19 days now. And then peep peep peep peep peep. And I swear my face looked like a fat child who had just walked into a candy shop. My jaw dropped in disbelief. I could feel the tears welling up in the corners of my eyes from sheer joy, and my heart just melt at all the little peepers I heard in that incubator. All my little peepers in there.
Because yes guys. They are peeping. And yes guys. They are alllll mine :)
Welllll...for the remainder of this WISE project that is:( (we'll cross that bridge when we get there though.)
Anyways! The very first thing I did after I knew they were peeping? What any sensible person does when they have such big and exciting my-eggs-peep kind of news....I tell my mom of course!
"Mooommmmmy we have new guests in our house!" and I can just feel myself smirking and grinning and beaming and everything in between.
"OH MY GOD NO WAY!!!!" Was my moms appropriate reaction as she sped down the hallway from my kitchen into my room and on the floor right next to the incubator within seconds. Watch out Usain Bolt.
So she sat and listened until......peep. And then she dropped from being on all fours to laying on her back on my floor in disbelief. It was pretty funny to watch. She couldn't even speak she was so flabbergasted (what a word huh?) and so luckily my 21st century, technologically addicted teenage girl, role came into play, and I whipped out my iPhone and recorded her reaction, so all of the internet can behold (sorry mom!)
