The number 4

So, I have 4 more days till I get to meet our little boy. :) I'm VERY excited. And I went to my last appointment yesterday and I was surprisingly dilated to "almost a 4"! The doctor seemed to think that I may not make it to my induction date of March 31st, Honestly, I'd be surprised to really have to head to the hospital before then, but we'll see I guess. Just in case, I have my hospital bags packed... complete with snacks, card games, books to read, etc. I'm getting smarter and smarter about stuff to pack with each baby delivery and I intend to not be bored, in addition to getting lots of sleep and enjoying my abundance of hospital meals. I know hospital food has a bad reputation, but I really like it - probably because after having a baby, any food looks delectable! :)

In the meantime, while I wait anxiously for this baby to pop out, I decided I better get caught up on my blogging - in addition to all the cleaning/organizing/shopping I've been doing. I've got a random bunch of pics on my camera from the past month, so here they are-


First of all, we have awesome news! EMMA MATCHED! Who would have thought that Mayo would take a 4 year old, but we're just thrilled that she'll get to work side by side with her daddy through these tough residency years. She's been practicing her clinical skills as well as studying up from her textbooks this past week so that she'll fit right in with the other doctors.




A few weeks ago the girls had their first sleepover together. Ben got out the little tent and they had a little campout. I think what they liked the most about it was the flashlights.



They also recently played in their swimsuits on the tramp - we put a sprinkler underneath it and they loved jumping around through the water. LOVE Arizona!




We went out to a celebratory dinner together on Match Day. The girls (and I) loved the bottomless fries and the ice cream sundae we got to split. Becca obviously wished there was more ice cream left for her.



And, the last is a picture of Emma and Becca in their spring dresses outside of church. I love these girls so much. Can't wait to throw a boy in the mix too, though, just to keep things interesting. :)
