today I am…
trying:: everything I can to have a baby today. Help! Any ideas?
giggling:: still, about my sweet husband letting me sleep this morning as he took care of Aliyah while getting ready… and the couple times she escaped him to let me know she was whispering so as not to wake me.
wondering:: how I ever made it past 40 weeks pregnant! Our little guy must be a very content little fellow.
realizing:: why I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever… we first found out we were pregnant last January (2009), had a year of ups, downs and ups again, and now waiting for our miracle to arrive.
hoping:: I’ll get some time today to dive into a racy thriller starring… ME! A fun little V-day gift from the man I’m madly in love with. That man would be my husband, in case you were wondering.
sharing:: my computer with my daughter for a moment: egyftr32t2w12lke utr525TWUEQRWQ3TGB QYUDUJS FRUEYFRU7T64IRUEYWTD
enjoying:: all the freshness that’s been spreading all over my house these past couple of weeks, reminding me of warmer days to come.
letting:: a smile flicker and brighten my face each time I see the flowers and think of him.
wrapping:: up a couple of projects I’ve been working on, and delighting in the sense of accomplishment.
remembering:: this moment in time, enjoying it, and hoping you are too!

You are an amazing woman and I thank God daily for allowing me the priviledge and honor of you in my life for millions of reasons and each one of them precious to me… I pray that today will be a day of peace knowing that Brayden will be here in God’s time and soon very soon;-] Proud of you girl you look amazing as always… Enjoy your day today with that Princess of yours and may I ask what book that is that you have pictured above???
Hugs to you,
Kellie

my midwife had recommended castor oil as a desperate measure. a friend recommended fresh pineapples (i tried this and it didn’t work, but i really enjoyed eating the sweet fruit) or primrose oil(??). or jumping jacks?? just kidding…well, maybe not 😉

HAHAHA! LOVE the yoga ball picture. It has a sense of humor about it. Your little man just doesn’t want to leave the confines of his warm, little home!! Though I would think he’s getting crowded in there!!!

I heard somewhere that pedicures and foot massages would induce labor. I have never tried it myself, and I don’t know if it works, but you might have a nice time trying.

I’ve heard…ahem…intimacy might help, if you feel like it that is. Are you gonna do a week 41 maternity series..lol.
I love how these types of posts let us delve into the personal details of your life, how you’re feeling, and of who you are!

WOW! Hang in there…we’re all thinking of you and can’t wait for “THE” post! Let’s see…sitting on exercise ball and moving your pelvis in round circular motions, eating unripe papaya, fresh pineapple, swinging on the swingset, LOTS of walking, S-E-X {if safe}. That’s all I can think of for now. But, that said…you’re little guy will come in his own time. Best of luck!
Oh, and I’m trying your Taboli recipe…how could I resist with your beautiful photo?!

I hope your happy and contented little baby arrives very soon!!!!

In my 16 years in the medical field working with OB the only thing that has actually been shown to work was the deed that got you there in the first place! It’s the oxytocin that induces labor! Good Luck. I can’t wait to see Mr. Little Blue!
