CONGRATS!

hehe, I knew he wouldn't turn on his babies.

Haha, I'm such a noob! The babies are supposed to go horizontal tonight (if on schedule) so I went to watch Dad and make sure he was still being good --it said that once they go horizontal that he might eat a few. Some were already starting to tip and he went around and snatched up a few and held them for like 5 mintutes. I was so tense because I was afraid I had disturbed him and made him want to eat or something. But then he put them back into the nest like a good boy!

I him so much!

Yes! I watched them for almost an hour just popping in and out of the nest. Some of them are already swimming away. I am going to take daddy out tomorrow morning. Give the slow ones one more night to catch up with dad to help.
