Yep, stilllll pregnant!!
This picture is kinda funny in that Manda made it way before I was pregnant. I can't remember the story, but I'm sure it was a funny one. But, it works for now because this is exactly how I feel!
We went to our weekly midwife appt yesterday morning and she 'swept my membranes', and sometimes within 72 hours that'll get something going. Nothing yet though. If she doesn't come this weekend our midwife recommends induction on Wednesday. I'm going to avoid induction with drugs if at all possible, so first she wants to try a foley bulb to kick start things. We haven't decided yet if we'll go that route, we're just hoping things start happening this weekend, fingers crossed!!
To get out of the house we're going to the Red Bull Flugtag in Portland today. A bunch of crazy people built contraptions that really can't fly and run them off of a ramp over the water. Should be fun to watch and keep our minds off waiting to start labor.
Oh! I forgot to mention, we've tried everything under the sun to get labor started naturally with no luck... Walking, sexy time, accupressure, massages, relaxation, showers, evening primrose oil, and so on... She's just one stubborn baby and she'll come out when she's ready. I like what Teri's mom Ruby said to me the other day, "When the fruit is ripe, it'll drop". :)
