I'm officially just two days away from my due date. Every day I wake up hoping that today will be "the day". So far I've had several contractions but none that are consistent enough to mean that labor is progressing.
I've been doing what I can to move this baby along...
The other night Adam and I went to the mall. Our goal wasn't to finish our Christmas shopping, but rather to walk. He patiently spent the evening walking laps (while I waddled) around the mall.
Last night my mom made her famous chocolate pudding dessert. Over the years it's put three women into labor...no luck this time, but I did have a strong contraction this morning.
I've also been eating spicy food
I've heard that Castor oil (no thank you!), large amounts of pineapple, and walking up steep hills might do the trick. Maybe tonight I'll take some time to walk up and down our flight of stairs...
Hopefully the next time you hear from me I'll be introducing the newest member of my growing family!
You are so darling, mama!!! Can't wait to see pics of the little man. :)
ReplyDeleteOK my sister has done caster oil twice and it worked both times. Sounds NASTY, I know, but at least something to keep in mind if you get desperate, lol :) I didn't have to take things that far, luckily, but I don't think I would rule it out! Prayin for you guys.
