My Female American Budgie(parakeet) Has laid an egg. Now what?

Ok, I have been trying to Breed my budgies for quite some time, and I just recently caged the two I am trying to breed together with a nest box. They have been spending a lot of time in the nest box together and yesterday my female laid her first egg.
In all I have 5 birds. Alexander Flury(Alex for short) a Lutino ‘Teil. Lilly my nesting female green budgie. Baby, Lilly’s Mate. Kitten My lone female Budgie. And Sweety, My Ash variety Ring Necked Dove. They are free flight except for the dove as she is older. And the Nesting pair I have kept caged to Prevent an egg cracking inside Lilly and getting infected.
I have hand raised birds before(Rehabilatating wild American Robin chicks) And I have a *VERY* good Avain vet. I have been bird keeping for many years and this is the first time my birds have bred. Anybody have any advise for me?
Maybe I didn’t make it all that clear. I have the basics covered, Cuttle bone, egg food, dried greens, millet etc. Im just looking for misc advice. I have read up already and I suppose Im just making sure I didn’t forget anything important. I have a humidifier running to help the laying and hatching processs. Im keeping the room warm.

Here are a few clips I put together of the American Goldfinch Birds that visit my feeders. They are fun to watch and have an interesting way to feed, upside down if you have the right feeder. You can get many feeding at once and these types of feeders don’t attract other birds much either. I have seen a Sparrow and Black Capped Chickadee trying to feed out of these and the Chickadee was the only one that actually hung upside down briefly to get any seed. It is rarely that you see any other type of bird other than the Goldfinch at these feeders. I buy the Pennington Thistle seed for them and they love it… Here is some information on the Goldfinch I found online at Wikipedia, much more at the link below. en.wikipedia.org The American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis), also known as the Eastern Goldfinch and Wild Canary, is a North American bird in the finch family. It is migratory, ranging from southern Canada to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canadian border to Mexico during the winter. The only finch in its subfamily which undergoes a complete molt, the American Goldfinch displays sexual dimorphism in its coloration; the male is a vibrant yellow in the summer and an olive color during the winter months, while the female is a dull yellow-brown shade which brightens only slightly during the summer. The male displays brightly colored plumage during the breeding season to attract a mate. The American Goldfinch is a granivore and adapted
