Dr. Appointment Update
I went to the Dr. again today and have made some progress! He said I am 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Sophia seems to be very low at this point and he told me he would not be surprised if she were to come in the next 1-2 days. We certainly hope he is right!
Egg Dying and Hunting
It was a busy week and weekend...again. We had a lot of church stuff in the evenings which was a lot of fun and good for me to mentally prepare for Easter.
Saturday night we had the Kinley's over for dinner and egg dying. Mike really got into it. I think he'll be great with Sophia.
On Sunday, we spent time with Mike's family. Victoria, our niece, got to do her first egg hunt and was very cute. She's getting to be such a big girl.

Good Friday Reflections
Today is Good Friday. It's a cloudy day here in San Diego. It's funny because I can't remember a time when Good Friday wasn't cloudy and Easter wasn't sunny. Interesting.
I've been reading a devotional on Lent and Easter called, Bread and Wine. There are some really good quotes and thoughts throughout the book that have helped me focus on what Easter means. It has been difficult to not be distracted by the upcoming birth of Sophia and I didn't want to get sidetracked amidst all the excitement. How cool would it be if she were to be born on Easter?
Mike and I were talking the other day and he pointed out how interesting it is that Jesus was buried in a cold, dark, stony tomb that was meant for death, yet he brought life and light to it upon his resurrection. He equated it with our cold, dark, stony hearts that would be dead without the light, life and forgiveness of Jesus. I liked the word picture.
This was a quote by Saint Augustine that stood out to me from my reading and seems to capture what Jesus gave up to save us:
The Maker of man was made man, that the Ruler of the stars might suck at the breast; that the Bread might be hungered; the Fountain, thirst; the Light, sleep; the Way, be wearied by the journey; the Truth, be accused by false witnesses; the Judges of the living and the dead, be judged by a mortal judge; the Chastener, be chastised with whips; the Vine, be crowned with thorns; the Foundation, be hung upon the tree; Strength, be made weak; Health, be wounded; life, die. To suffer these and suchlike things, undeserved things, that he might free the undeserving, for neither did He deserve any evil, who for our sakes endured so many evils, nor were we deserving of anything good, we who through Him received such good.
Have a blessed Easter!

Busy Weekend and No Baby
We had a busy weekend filled with a wedding, a brunch with my old bible study girls, dinner with friends, Mike's first hockey game of the season, and dinner with the Tousley crew. It was a lot of fun, but we were both pretty exhausted by Sunday night.
Mike did great in his roller hockey game. He hadn't played for over a year, but still managed to score four points and get two assists. I was so proud and a bit worked-up. I always end up crying during his games if someone is mean to him. It only happened once this time.
No baby news. I went to the Dr. yesterday and I'm at 1.5 cm. I had some weird back pains and contractions on Sunday, but it ended up being nothing. We'll keep you updated.

Baby Room and Bare Belly
Sophia's room is now all put together and ready for her! The picture isn't great since the room is small and angles are limited, but you'll get the idea.
I'm a little over 38 weeks, now. No signs of baby. My next appointment is Monday, so hopefully we'll know a little more then.
