Kinda tough in your situation. You don't really know for sure which way was up - the way the egg was originally laid. In your case, you're guessing the position of the egg when it was laid. However, that said, and what happened, I suggest you get a plastic shoebox & buy a bag of vermiculite & follow what I said in the post just before yours. Find the warmest place in the house that has a steady temp of about 78 - 80 degrees, maybe the top of the fridge. Just got to do what I said - Moisten the vermiculite with water until it clumps when you squeeze but doesn't drip. place the eggs, cover them lightly with the vermiculite & place the top of plastic shoebox back on. It should have a several holes for air. You can buy Vermiculite in any home garden center. Don't know if your eggs will hatch because they were disturbed. If you placed it the right way, you still have a chance. I would not use a flower pot - too hard to control the temperation. In the ground, the temp is more stable. But I suggest you go the plastic shoebox or plastic container method. Good luck. BTW, no need to look for new additions. If they hatch, you'll have your hands full during the winter.
