No baby yet. What a trickster. He's already like his Daddy.
I'm 38 weeks as of yesterday. I went to the doctor Wednesday and I'm around 4 cm. and 90% effaced, so I am making progress. She said, "If I broke your water you would have a baby in a couple of hours." I assured her I had nowhere to be, but she said she wanted to give him another week to mature before she did that. I took that to mean that if I make it to my next appointment on Tuesday she would go ahead. I hope she knows not to tease a very pregnant woman. She also said she didn't think I was going to have time for an epidural once I really started labor because, according to her, my cervix is "like butter". I hope she's very wrong about the no epidural part...
The night before both Luke and Eli were born I drank raspberry tea, so I have always had suspicions it might have had something to do with my labor coming on. I've had rasberry tea twice in the past week and a half with no success. Does anybody else have any suggestions?

Wow, who would have thought you'd still be pregnant at 38 weeks?!? I'm sure it is tough to be that pregnant and feeling huge and uncomfortable, but it's a huge blessing! I'm sure it will happen in no time. Have you tried lots of walks?
I can't wait to hear the good news that your baby boy has arrived!!
Christmas baby??
Maybe a good donkey ride. I hear that does the trick this time of year. :)
Christen, you are silly, and I love it! Looking for a donkey right now...
