I'm with you! I started with Pieds and saved up and bought two females in 2007. In 2008 purchased a male. They did not take last year. The male did sire a clutch with a Lesser and I held back two females.
This year, I've got a het pied (that was given to me as a male but turned out to be female) laid ten eggs and a pied who laid seven eggs. Our other pied female looks like she is going to lay in a week or so. To top it all off, the first clutch of Pieds is due to pip on my birthday! I'm patiently waiting until then.
Hope you hit the odds big time and that your four eggs come out all pieds! I know how long I've waited to produce them and am very excited too. Here is a pic of my female that gave me seven that are due to pip on my birthday:
