Over due and impatient

Well I'm still pregnant and waiting for little Addie to decide to show up. It's been a very long week. The more time I have on my hands the less I want to do. So I'm not good at keeping myself busy.

She has to be running out of room in there because last week I woke up to a sharp pain in my chest. I went to the chiropractor thinking maybe I pulled something but he discovered that she had dislocated one of my ribs. Lovely!

He worked on me for about 20min and then asked me to take a deep breath in. It was worse. So he tried something else. Thank the Lord it worked and the pain was gone.

My Dr was shocked to see me this week for my 40 week appt. She was sure I would go into labor last week. Oh well she was wrong. I told her about my rib and she just laughed. I asked her how much she thought Adelaide weighed. She felt around my stomach and said "Oh about 8lbs". Ok I know babies gain a half a pound a week in the last month so of course I was thinking about if I make it to my induction date that's another half a pound. Oh goodness. At least I know she is going to have some healthy meat on her bones.

I tried almost all the natural methods for inducing labor in the past week. Obviously none of which have worked.

I ate Eggplant Parm like 4 days in a row. I have walked for 45 min at a time most days this week, ate spicy food and a few other things I'll spare you the details of.

I really hope to go into labor on my own but if not I will be induced next Wed the 22nd. So I know at the most I have only 5 more days to go. I will try and keep this blog up to date as the next few days roll on. Keep us in your prayers.
