still nothing
Well, I went to see the doctor today...still no change.
I sure was hoping that she would say that I had progressed a little more...but no. She still thinks that I'll go into labor on my own in the next two weeks. I really would like this baby to come by its due date. More than that, I want this baby to come on its own. I do not want to be induced. I also don't want this baby to get too big and have problems coming out.
I just keep praying that God will have this baby come when it will be most healthy and labor will go the easiest and quickest.
We'll see what happens...taking it one day at a time.

What's the due date again? The 26th, 29th? We are praying, too. Is Nathan getting more excited about having a sibling VERY SOON?
It's the 26th. Next Friday.
Nathan is looking forward to having the baby here. He can't wait. He wants to let the baby play with his trains...and he wants to read to the baby...and he wants to watch videos with it...and he wants to change diapers... I think he'll be a good helper.
I know how you feel about just wanting the baby to come on its own. I did NOT want to be induced - but as it turned out, I was. I'm hoping for different results this time around =)
Try not to worry over it - We'll be praying.
I found this on WebMD.
"Bringing on Labor
Castor oil: Some people advise a dose of the old-time remedy to kick-start labor, but this stuff tastes terrible, and a violent diarrhea might spoil the mood.
Walking: It passes the time and is OK if your doctor advises it. But there is no evidence it will bring on labor.
Having sex: Prostaglandins, substances in semen, plus the contractions of sex, can hasten labor in some cases. Some doctors even prescribe it.
Spicy foods: Feel like a nice case of gastritis?"
Here's the link to the article.

Yeah, I read the message boards on babycenter.com and all the ladies that are due soon are trading suggestions about how to start labor. They include those as well as a few others. We may try a few (not the castor oil) at the beginning of the week. My doctor isn't on call this weekend, so I'm not going to push things at the moment.
As a side note, I think my cold is just about gone...
