Countdown to Baby 3!

First, we have to show off how cute our girls are waiting to leave for daycare, "my school" to Cordelia. LOVE Evie's hat!

So, at the last OB visit, Holly was 4 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Progressing to delivery of the latest Baby Eble! We have scheduled an induction for Wednesday, February 11 if Baby does not decide to come by then, as we have no desire for a home or en route delivery! Holly has had some off/on contractions since then, so she expects to be 5 cm (half way there!) by the time we get to the hospital on Wednesday morning bright and early -- 6:30 am! We also expect to have greeted our new baby by noon, as our labor/delivery experiences have been relatively short in the past.

Holly's mom, Geri, and her sister, Hillary, will join us in the delivery room. Geri has been there for the births of our other two girls, and Hillary is studying nursing, and considering specializing in labor and delivery.

Evie is oblivious to our impending family addition, and Cordelia is very excited. She claims our baby is going to "bust out." We're hoping for something slightly less dramatic. Cordelia usually says she wants a baby brother, but regardless, she wants to call her new sibling Sparkle. Yep; she came up with that one all by herself. She may be disappointed to discover that is not on our short list of names for either gender...

One last photo of the girls to share, as they played together on their couches they got for Christmas. These have been a big hit in our household.

Until Wednesday...(or sooner?)
