Well, I have officially made it to week 38. Whodathunk? When I walk, there is an exaggerated waddle going on right now. I feel heavier too, like I am toting a canonball.
Things are moving right along now. Any day now we will be sending out an "all call" to the horde of mother (and father) hens who are watching over me to journey en masse to the hospital for what is sure to be a most memorable arrival. Can't wait for God to tell us what this child's name is, since we cannot reach consensus on our own.
Right now we are getting ready to leave for a walk around the block. We will follow our walk by a dinner of eggplant laced heavily with oregano and basil. Those are the next two items on our list of safe home labor-induction suggestions. We will see how this goes. So far spicy food isn't doing anything for the contractions, but it sure is tasty.
Castor Oil has been named as well, but we WON'T be trying that one. Castor Oil gives you diarrhea and vomiting. The question is this, "If you have diarrhea/vomiting badly enough to wonder if you are going to die, and labor makes you think the same thing, why would you want to combine them both at the same time?????"
Will keep everyone posted. Hopefully it will be sooner than next week!!

I keep waiting for my phone to ring. But I have been waiting for the phone to ring for weeks now. I am so glad the little fellow has decided to stay where it is toasty warm for a while longer. Good luck Angie, I am thinking of you. Full moon is Saturday the 10th.
Love and Kisses to all of you
Aunt Donna
