I am on strike! NO MORE WEEK PICTURES!
The last "week" picture I post will be me at the hospital before baby Dean is born.
My last Dr. visit was quite discouraging. I have only thinned a little aka NO dilation. My body simply isn't ready.
My mind is ready.
Baby seems to be ready (8lbs--estimate from doc).
When will my body finally be ready?!?
I have an induction date for January 21st (Monday).
I have tried just about everything (natural) to induce labor at home:
1. Long walks.
Starting at week 38 I started walking A TON.
Giving the dogs a walk (before it got so cold)
Finding excuses to walk around Costco (because outside was so cold)
Saturday gym sessions on the treadmill
2. Spicy Foods.
I went to Taco Time and asked for a handful of their 5 Alarm Sauce. I've been using that and Habenero Tabasco on just about EVERYTHING. I haven't really tasted my food but, my nose is running and forehead sweating from all the "heat".
3. Red Leaf Raspberry Tea.
4. Acupressure.
I even checked out books from the library for this one :)
5. Sex. (nuff said...)
Guess we'll just keep on waitin'... If he doesn't come this week, at least I KNOW I'll be leaving the hospital with my baby next week :)
