I have the best neighbor ever!!! For the past 3 weeks Megan and Bentley go on daily walks with me.
I have been bouncing on this exercise ball for hours.
On the 10th we got an induction/pregnancy pizza from Cafe Trio. It had whole cloves of garlic and tons of mushrooms it was so gross...and it did not work!!
On the 11th Megan gave me a reflexology foot massages. Did i mention i have the best neighbor ever!! The massage was so relaxing and nice I could do that every day.
On Feb 13th we had a ward Valentines dinner/dance. Joel and I are on the activities committee so we went and set up chairs and tables. I was the first one to get my limbo on. We danced all night and wowed everyone with a lift!!! Good this Joel is strong. It was the most fun i have ever had at a ward party. We got a couple more suggestions on how to induce labor that night. When i got a cold and did not go to church on Sunday everyone thought that the dancing had done the trick...sure fooled them.
At the ward party we sat by a girl who induced labor with Blue Cohosh. I looked it up online and it sounded promising. Blue Cohosh is an herb used for most uterus related problems and has been used for centuries. So we got some Blue and Black Cohosh and i took that as recommended by some web sites.
I read on the internet that to get the baby to be born you need to send it loving, positive thoughts and energy. So we have been trying to only say and think positive thoughts about STILL being pregnant. We hope she feels loved.
So, here i am still cooking up this kid. My face, hands and feet swell on a daily basis but that is ok. I still feel great with i get my nap so i really should not complain. My father in law got me a gift certificate to get a pedicure that i used today so at least my sausage toes look cute when they induce me on Friday. Lets hope the pitocin works!!!
I can't wait to take pictures and blog about this little girl. We still have not decided on a name for sure. I think it will be Carlie or Carley or Kennady. As for a middle name we have no clue but we both want her to have a middle name. Hopefully we will be inspired. She is teaching us so much already...like patience. I can't wait to meet her and see if she has Joel's dimples, cross your fingers!
