Day 79...and we have pips :)

Eight pips out of the 16 eggs that we have. Parents are both charcoal het amel (ph bloodred)...Equinox and Kashmir (a wonderful pair we got from Katie/ArpeggioAngel)

These are two of our new arrivals poking their heads out...more pictures as they come out :D

This is our first year breeding, and I couldn't be happier with the results :D
 
Is that just me or does the first one look rather strange? Anyways, SOOOOO Cute.
 
Oh I'm stupid. I didn't realize the first one had a sideways head lol,
 
Thanks all :) Thus far we have three pink noses, nine dark noses, one DIE and three that haven't budged (the DIE had started to yellow, sink and smelled vaguely off, so we cut it to double-check. Bleh)

One of the dark ones has a masque on his head...s/he's likely a keeper.

Now to convince my bf that characters from Stardust would be good for names (we're down to Star Trek, Dr. Who or X-Men for names...although I'm leaning toward Stardust so I can name the first one Primus)
 
The first baby is completely out...a little 5g charcoal :)

We're down to either Pokemon or craft beers for names (so there's a good chance his name is Umbreon :)

This one earned the nickname Inchworm...she's not out yet. Right after pipping, she made a mighty effort and got 1-2 inches out of the egg before deciding it was too much effort and sinking back down with only her nose poking out.

And further update...all but one egg has pipped, there are four pink noses and 10 dark noses. It was very hard to sleep last night ;)

Baby number two has fully emerged. Weighing in at 6 grams, he has been named Plusle. And very much loves the paper towel he's resting on (I'm using 'he' for the sake of convenience...not popping yet)
 
#3...Mudkipz (5g charcoal)

#4...Shinx (5g charcoal)

#5...Uxie (5g...) Uxie was a little different. He was the last pip, but came out very quickly after pipping (about 4 hours from pip to out). He had slightly pinkish undertones. He also has very few belly checks (there are a few on the sides, but nothing going across) Once he gets settled in a bit, I'll try and get better pictures.
