Week 36
*sorry for the terrible photo. Tim had already left for school.
ps. can you believe my fatty fingers?! everything on me is swelling. ouch.
75% effaced, fingertip dialated. Boo.
Baby is carrying WAY out front. He is measuring at 39 weeks!
Midwife laughed a little when she checked me. His head is so low that she had to push it aside to check me properly. Come out already! She said because of how big he is she will strip my membranes at 38 weeks instead of 39 if I haven’t had him by then.
We’re trying almost every wives tale to get him out! Everything from fresh pineapple to red raspberry leaf tea! I draw the line at castor oil though.
Hopefully he comes soon!

hey… I went to highschool with you and lived in Winchester… anyways.
You should try the Castor oil if your desperate. I did and I was in Labor with in 3 hours.
I put a tablespoon of castor oil in a glass of Orange juice and it really was just a little thick but not bad… give it a try.. !

I can’t believe it’s almost time! Can’t wait to see the little guy (online of course, but still) once he gets here! Hang in there! I had pizza for dinner when I was pregnant with Natalie and then started going into labor. Maybe try that? Ha!
