Nothing yet

I thought I would let you all know that we are still waiting.

I will be induced on Tuesday morning if nothing has happened before then. You could pray that it doesn't come to that...I have never heard anyone speak highly of being induced.

I rearranged all the furniture in the back bedroom the other day. That included moving a bed with mattress, two book shelves full of books, a couple of chairs, desk, and rug. This was of course in the hopes that I would go into labor. Instead of labor I just wasn't able to move the rest of the evening :-)

Thankfully Brandon didn't have to leave today. The machine is still being built and probably won't be done until the middle of next week. I guess that means he will probably won't have to go anywhere next week...just the two after that. Not really sure but I am thankful I won't have to call him to say that I am in labor.

Brandon is sick right now...he only takes a nap when he really feels bad. I think he gave it to me...I feel it in my throat and head. Hopefully it won't get too bad...yuck being sick and going through labor, not a big fan.

Well this isn't so cheery sounding, is it? How about we end on a more happy note.

We took the girls to the beach this evening. I told Jolene that the water was cold and that she shouldn't get her clothes wet. Her pants were soaked in about five minutes. Adele on the other hand was very careful not to get her feet wet. She did splash herself in the face which she promptly came and showed us.


Adele now calls Jolene "Jean". It is very cute when Adele asks for her..."Jean, where are you?"

Like at the beach today. Adele couldn't see Jolene so she was walking around the beach saying "Jean, where are you?"


It makes me smile.

Sorry to hear you may have a cold! I would recommend taking some large doses of Vit C (several thousand mg a day). It is helpful and any excess will be expelled by your body, so it's safe.

Maybe with the induction, they could try a smaller dose of pitocin to see if that gets things going enough without a full dose that could end up in too-strong contractions.

You could always try natural methods of induction leading up to Tuesday.
