This might be the last post for a while, depending on when this child decides to join the world. I'm just waiting and keeping busy with our daily lives and reminding myself that it's a trade-off. I'll be able to walk, bend over again and see my feet, in exchange for no sleep (you can't count 2-3 hours of sleep as rest. That's like an extended nap. Five or more only begin to qualify!). Hmm...it's rough either way you look at it.
At this point, I'm leaning toward the no sleep scenario because I keep getting stuck on the kitchen floor when I bend down to get a stray Cheerio or put on a shoe. I'm actually avoiding tasks that require bending, leaning or twisting! It's ridiculous. Laugh.
While shopping for groceries earlier, I grabbed a giant yellow pineapple on display at Henry's. Tomorrow I'm going to test out the pineapple theory. Supposedly it can help induce labor and that sounds better than Pitocin, a gnarly synthetic drug that the doctor's use for induction. There must be some reason it's (the fruit) listed on the internet as a natural alternative! C'mon, work with me here, my friends are starting to wonder if I'm ever going to have this baby! Oh, and just in case the fruit theory doesn't work, I got some Ben & Jerry's Vanilla with Chocolate Waffle Cone and Caramel Ice Cream. I could start a new theory if that works!!!
