Hmmmm.  Will number #4 hatch, TPC?  Too soon to tell?

Maybe, she'll stay Esmerelda forever :'(

I seem to remember from past years that we shouldn't start worrying about Esmerelda for at least 48 hours.

Didn't one egg take a bit longer than the other last year? And still a chick emerged! I bet Esmerelda will make us anxious all day today and then show up tomorrow, all wide-eyed and innocent and who-me? and cute as a button!

Nothing visible but I can hear cheeping. 
Wonder if there is a final hatch yet?

It's true - I often see him sitting on the sign, or somewhere close by!

Too funny!  Her Highness returns just as Ivy settles for some snuggle time with the kids. "Aww, come on!!  Let me have some time!!"  Princess prevails of course

Meal's over - looks like Dad is babysitting now  :) - not for long I'm guessing, can hear Princess 'chupping' at him - well she kicked him out - he had a little longer with the kids this time - about 30 seconds.... :-\

Hm, Princess must be hungry - she's eating it all herself! Poor chick bobbing around with its beak open but no food coming yet.... :-\ - ah there we go - now it's the kiddies' turn.  :D
