old wives tales

are not working. hah!  Went to Hooters today for a combination baby/diaper shower for a friend and tried some spiciness.  No luck!  

I think I've tried most with the exception of castor oil and I will be skipping that one!  

I'm starting to hate this waiting game!!

You still have a couple of weeks to go!! Try to keep busy and not think too much about it is the best advice I can give!

I'm actually at my due date.  It was changed....again.  Of course that could mean nothing but I just didn't change my timer. 

I was induced last time, so I was REALLY hoping to go on my own this time.  My last check up I was 60% effaced and a bit over 2cm.  She said "oh theres baby!" so he or she is right there and ready.  I can barely walk :P  

Just antsy I guess

I totally get it!!  I was not dilated or effaced at my 39.5 week appointment and I went into labor a few days later, so hopefully your body will start up soon!!!!  GL!

I feel ya. It's hard to wait. We are past our due date and still waiting. I feel like every old wives tale there is has been tried or some random combo of things have happened that should have encouraged labor including full moons, spicy food, sex, snow and ice storms . . nothing! Oh well, I guess its a good thing because it means baby is happy in there.

We have an induction scheduled for Wednesday so we can see the light and can't wait to hold our LO.

I can't imagine going two weeks past my due date. Hell, I can't even imagine going until the 8th. I have to literally force myself not to think about it and then remind myself that pregnancy is 40 weeks.

Bllllaahhhh!

thiiiiiiiiis!  I've tried all sorts of combos.  I just walked a mile at work, hot wings last night and sexy time the night before.  Weather here is crazy!  My lillies are sprouting and its about 65 degrees!  NOT normal for Jan.  

My last appointment I saw another DR in the office I go to .  She asked if I'd consider induction again.  I REALLY want to go on my own.  The hospital I'm going to has a new tub that I really want to try and I didn't enjoy being stuck in bed during my last induction.  ::sigh::

It was tasty!  Some sweet man paid for my tab too!  Hooters did drop the ball though.  They made a reservation for 30 people.  Guess they didn't plan too well bc we were spread through the entire restaurant.   Normally they would have sectioned off an area but they didn't :l

It will still nice though!  They did the diaper / baby shower combo.

My nonsense advice is to plan something you can't do if baby is here, and so (s)he will show up so you can't do it.

My stupid one was we had an amazing dinner the night of my mom's family-only prayer service (she had just passed away).  I had kobe steak.  Couldn't finish it so I put it in the fridge to have the next day.

So of course I go into labor so I can't eat my leftovers for lunch.  DD#1 owes me a steak.  

Maybe make an appointment for a pedicure or a massage or something so LO can arrive and spoil it!
