Well I have been officially full term for over a week now and I am feeling it. I finally feel I understand what all those pregnant ladies before me were talking about. It is uncomfortable to be this big and expectantly waiting to go into labor. I am hoping that she decides she wants to meet us this week. I have been trying a few things to induce labor. I have been going on long walks with Aaron and even went over to Heidi's for a walk yesterday. I also looked up a few homemade ideas online. I have decided to avoid caster oil for now though..... instead I have been eating lots of black licorice, pineapple, and rasberry tea, all of which were on a list of labor inducing foods. Some websites also said spicy food, maybe that will be dinner tonight. I am ready for her to be here, not just so I don't have to be pregnant anymore, but I am ready to start this phase. I haven't had much motivation to do much else lately, its like I don't want to do anything, but have a baby. I am ready to know that I am really in real labor, I have contractions, but nothing is sticking so far. I am ready to get labor over with so I don't have to be so scared of the unknown. I also am anxious to actually bring her home and know that she is mine and Aaron's. I am excited about that. I have most everything ready to go to the hospital, everything but a bag packed... maybe if I go pack it she'll come.
