5 things I learned today...

1. My belly is measuring a whopping 41cm...it's amazing I can still walk without falling forward!

2. Babies head is waaaaaaaaaay down there, 4cm dilated, fully effaced, no membranes to strip...BABY WHY ARE YOU STILL INSIDE MY BELLY?!?!

3. There should be no reason why I don't have the baby some time this week....however I have been hearing that for weeks so what am I to believe?!

4. Mall walking and shop therapy are awesome ways to forget you are totally overdue.

5. If I make a castor oil cocktail especially prepared the way my midwife indicated I am near certain to deliver this baby...however I am even more certain to be giving my system a deep clean roto-rooter and feel sick to my stomach for days...do I do it?! The jury is still out on this one...

hey, with as "open" as you are maybe just a drop of castor will do it without the side effects??????? Sorry your still prego, guess that change in due date was not such a good idea after all, eh!

Glad to hear from ya, hope you don't tip over, hahahahahahahahah!

Oh honey! Every day I look and keep waiting for the big announcement. I really hope today is the day!

By the way, if you do the castor oil, drink it all as fast as you can! Horrible tasting stuff.

HUGS!

Oh Alida!
Liam must be SO nice and cozy! :)
I like your idea of the mall and shopping therapy!
Hope he makes his way into your arms SOON so you don't go for that castor oil...that just sounds so unpleasant!
