No News is No News

I am still pregnant (40 weeks and 3 days).  We had a very quiet Christmas at home.  Too quiet!  We are still anxiously awaiting out little one and trying to be as patient as possible.  Some of our relatives have said since there is German heritage on both sides of our family this baby is going to be stubborn and take his/her time to arrive.  We could have a New Years' baby.

I am glad my mom is coming tomorrow to keep me busy and my mind preoccupied.  Maybe I will schedule pedicures for us.  I have heard that there are pressure points in your ankles and if I get them massaged labor may start.  I am going to avoid the castor oil.  I don't need to get sick from that on top of going into labor.  Ugh!  We've tried other things but this baby is just on a different schedule so we will just wait.

We have an ultrasound Tuesday to measure the baby's growth.  If the baby has my big head, maybe the doctor will decide to get things started.  I would like to avoid a C-Section so we keep praying for labor to start naturally.  That's really the best way for things to go.

Time to make a list of things to do this week.
