I see that I am obligated to post daily lest anyone should get the idea that this baby has finally decided to come out!
Today I thought I should treat myself to a relaxing pedicure. The last time I'd been in the salon was 3 weeks ago, when I told the staff that it would probably be my last pedicure for a while. Needless to say, they were a little surprised when I walked in today. Then, there was the joy of being able to respond "6 days ago" to the question "when are you due?".
I think I made the owners a little nervous--about every 15 minutes they looked over at me and said "Are you OK?!" I told them that while nothing would make me happier than to go into labor right then and there in the massaging pedicure chair, I was pretty sure they had nothing to worry about.
Last night we had pepperoni pizza for dinner and have been trying other "natural induction" methods at a rate that puts our honeymoon to shame. I started to get hopeful this morning when I had about 2 hours worth of regular contractions...but then they petered out and here I sit. I'm hoping it's a start though...
Still considering the castor oil method. Will see how I feel in the morning.
About Me

- I am a lover of nature and a science geek. I am an excellent procrastinator, always have been, probably always will be. I consistently fluctuate between laziness and obsessive-compulsiveness. I like caring for plants and animals, including my husband. I like circus peanuts, and I am secretly a fan of Martha Stewart. I have expensive taste in shoes, but you're more likely to find me wearing cheap flip flops. I love bugs. I guess I should also mention that I'm now a mom, so excuse me for posting about that too.

Thank you, sweetie. I do live for these updates. I've just come home quickly to change, and instead of poking myself in the eye with a mascara wand, I'm checking on your baby. I'm happy to see you are taking it easy, pampering yourself a little, even. I just adore your attitude. Are you sure you've never done this before? I am so impressed!!!!
You really do have an amazing attitude. I start hiding about a week before I'm due and don't peek again until the baby is here. You're so much better at this than I am!
It is decidedly silent here.
Anyone want to place bets on gender? My guess is boy.
