A Bumpy Ride

Baby Boy Myers #2 was due Feb. 12th. My mother flew in last Wed. (11th). We've been having a great time playing, waiting, and playing some more. We've been to the library, checked out every Gilmore Girls DVD we could get our hands on, been to the movies, made bread, potato soup, knitted our socks off!

I'm sure all of our family and friends are wondering what is happening. That is just it...nothing has been happening in the way of a baby being born. As of Tues. (17th) at 9:10 pm, nothing has happened yet. We have a date for induction on Thur. (19th) at 7:00 am. If nothing happens before then, that will be the day.

I've been trying every remedy in the book (except Castor oil) to get the ball rolling. I found several websites that recommended "A bumpy ride in a car". We thought of something better. Dave took us on a tour of the base in a Humvee, trying to hit every bump he could. Charlie doesn't know what a lucky boy he really is! He kept saying it was really loud, though.





However, after all that effort, I'm still sitting on the couch, typing this, with a baby in the belly...

I know from experience baby comes when its their time, not on our time table.

You poor girl! At least you get to spend some fun quality time with your mom with out an infant tiring you down. Can't wait to hear about the arrival. Have fun with your mom!! I'm sure she is in heaven.

Good Luck. Let's hope this happens soon. And the castor oil thing is so not worth it--you are a smart woman!! Who wants to be in labor and sick from both ends???
