Awesome.
Listed below are the things I have tried to jump start this labor train.
- walking (uphill, downhill, flat, with dogs, with Zach, at night, early mornings, midday, long walks, short walks..)
- drinking caster oil (NOTHING happened)
- doing the deed that lead to this pregnancy
- bouncing on a hippity-hop ball
- jumping on the tramp
- being bounced on the tramp
- going digging in a truck (we almost died!)
- doing hard manual labor (moving furniture, laying bricks..)
- rubbing various pressure points found between my fingers, on my feet and my ankles
- taking a relaxing bath
- swinging on a swing
- eating spicy foods
So, those are all the activities I have done in the past week leading up to now. I know people say "Oh, she will come when she's ready" or "Due dates are more of an estimation" To those people, I say psh!
Thanks to technology, they can tell you exactly how old the baby is, and the day she was conceived. Also, I know she will come when she is ready, but it would be nice if she came when I was ready (two weeks ago) because I am moving with or without her on August 9th to Las Vegas, then starting my new job on August 14th. The sooner she arrives, the sooner I can figure out all this mothering business (if you recall I don't feel I have the best mothering instincts) and get some help while my husband is around before his school starts. Zach had his last shift at Logan River Academy yesterday. I think he was happy to be done but it's weird that it's finally over. It just makes us more and more anxious to start a new chapter! I will keep things posted and hopefully there is some news to share in the next few days, if not, apparently I am being induced on August 3 so that gives me 6 whole glorious days before the move to spend with my little girl. Seriously folks, the sooner the better.
