Where is this little person? I have been taking several walks a day and nothing really happens, well besides being highly uncomfortable as I waddle around the apartment complex. I am very sick of phone calls. "where's the baby?" "aren't you in the hospital yet?" As if I didn't already feel kinda depressed that it hasn't happened yet, I get about 5 of these phone calls a day. I know they are well wishers and what not but come on, if I was having or had the baby I WILL CALL THEM!
I didn't really know there was a pregnancy depression of "waiting". I know this can happen any minute but it is really starting to wear on me. Kinda feels like I got ready for finals in college but then decided to not take the test after all the hard work. No, I didn't do that in college but I think the feeling would be the same. When I was pregnant with Collin, he came out the time I begged him to for about a month. I wanted a nice long weekend with Joe and baby so I told Collin he needed to come out for Labor Day weekend. And..he did. This little baby is already refusing to cooperate. I have even had Collin tell him "Quintin Come OUT!!." Even Collin's voice isn't doing the trick.
Everyday I clean the house including dusting and vacuuming. Yeah, the vacuuming is happening almost 3 times a day now. I can't nest any more. I think maybe if I just let the house get dirty maybe the baby would come out. Maybe the thing that bugs me the most is that I was absolutely sure this little one was coming early. But right when I "knew" it was going to happen, the stress of house and Joe's job came upon us and I think it scared the baby away. Joe has a job that already loves him and the house is currently pending so the stress is gone right?
At my doctor's appointment last Friday, I finally made it to a whopping 2 centimeters dialation. I could eat spicy food but I don't want heartburn and I heard Castor Oil is a myth and can actually harm baby..... So walking and maybe some lovin' but is there anything else I should try that isn't TOO weird?

lol - both Jules and Madison were late. Before Jules was born, Jill and I went for chinese and had hot and sour soup and kung pao - didn't help. Someone told her she should drive over the railroad tracks - so we went over them several times and that didn't help. The day before Madison was born, we drove up into the mountains because someone said that high altitude would help - not sure if it did or if it was just time for the baby to be born. Maybe Collin yelling at him is scaring him away - or maybe Grandpa Carter and Grandad Max just aren't ready to part with that sweet little spirit yet. Hang in there, he'll get here when the time is right. Love ya!
I've heard eating large amounts of pineapple??? Funny one, I always craved pineapple while pregnant maybe that's why all of mine tried to come early. Hang in there!
