Time is flying!

Yes, I'm aware I'm running behind in my postings. I've got a litter of 7 pups on the ground and my daughter is teething big time so I was going crazy for a little bit, haha.

I did candle the eggs at 15 days along. I was floored by the development!! It wasn't just a "glob" anymore it looked like an elongated lima bean, if that makes sense to you :) It was very clear what was embryo and what was the air pocket and what was the yolk sac. It was amazing! Sounds silly but I swear I saw movement. Even more amazing!

Above is a picture where you can see what I mean by the elongated lima bean. You can even see a faint outline of the yolk sac the the left of the embryo and the air pocket to the right. And veins everywhere!

The above picture isn't the best but you can clearly see veins branching from the right to the left. The embryo can just barely be seen far to the right. My camera isn't happy about taking pictures without a flash and I can't sit still for a super slow shutter speed :)

I'm trying to make up lost time so I will be candling my eggs again tonight. They'll be 21 days along and I'm so excited to see how much more the embryo's have developed. I will admit that I've become nervous as heck while candling the eggs. I blew out my back because I was so tense and nervous that I'd drop one of the eggs. I already feel like a mother hen :)
