Really?

Hate to say it but... I'M OVERDUE!! I was due the 27th and it's the 29th. I have one stubborn baby on my hands! My mom has arrived and we are trying everything you can imagine other than castor oil. We've been on 2 hours walks twice a day, been doing accu-pressure on my feet and hands, been drinking lots of raspberry tea, doing jumping jacks and eating spicy foods! Nothing has been working so far. It's getting frustrating but I keep reminding myself to enjoy the good nights rest while I can. Hopefully in the next post I'll have a baby to make an announcement about!
Until then...any ideas?

This sounds weird but I've heard of 2 people recently who did this and it worked...if you have a breast pump, pump for awhile...haha so if your desperate maybe give it a try?? Good luck!!! :)

I'm sorry...that can't be fun. Wyatt came the day before his due date and I had to get induced (unfortunately...I'm for going into labor on your own, not induction) for medical reasons with chamberlain. I don't really have any ideas for you except what you already said!! Enjoy your rest cuz you will not get it back for a LONG time!!! I'm excited for you guys! I hope it goes well you and I'm excited to hear how it goes...I love hearing labor stories for some reason. Good luck!

Jess-
I am checking your blog like a crazy person... so anxious for you to have that baby.
I am dying already- and I still have three weeks to go. I will be a hot mess if I'm overdue. Heck, I'm already a mess!
Good luck. I read in someone's comment you're gonna do natural birth. I think that's awesome. You're so brave. Good luck.
Make sure you post a birth story so I can read all about it and try to brace myself for what's down my road in not too much time.
Much love,
Ellery

All I can say is I know exactly how you feel!! I tried it all - even castor oil. They come when they wanna come. Just try to relax and soak in the time with your momma before you become one!! :) good luck!!!!

Thanks for updating - I've been checking 3 x a day! I totally think the longer the baby stays in the happier they are - better sleepers, eaters, etc. However, get a pedicure and have something with eggplant in it! :). Good luck! Love you guys!
