Hmm, well it is the 16th and no baby to show for all the muss and fuss around this whole December 15th due date. We are still anxiously waiting her arrival. Sami' was fairly certain that she would be born on the 12th because of the full moon thing. I am not sure how that whole full moon thing works whether it is some sort of cosmic magnetic force that pulls babies from the wombs of mothers or if werewolf's just scare moms into labor but I am told that there is in fact something significant about a full moon and giving birth. Well, it didn't happen for us, so I will just have to take their word for it. I however, was convinced that we had made the womb much too comfortable for her and it might take her a little longer to make her entrance. I seem to be right so far.
While we can't wait it seems that that our friends and family may be more on edge than we. We have been offered so much free advise on how to get her to come, such as:
1. Go for a long walk
2. Run Stairs
3. Exercise
4. Drink Mineral Oil
5. Move Heavy Furniture
6. Take a bumpy car ride
7. Eat hot foods...etc.
Now we have not intentionally tried anyone of these but as we move further from that due date we might have to implore one of these a day until we get her to come out. Then we will definitively know what is the best way to encourage labor.
Should one of those options not work in the next 6 days she will be induced next Monday. According to the doctor, Sami' right now is 3cm dilated and 75% effaced. Really, It could be any day now. But for sure there will be some news by Monday. Stay tuned for the latest.
