Ok... as you can tell we aren't so good about this blog thing. I keep telling myself that we will be a lot better once we actually have something to write about.
As for now, we are still just waiting around for our baby to come. My due date is in about a week, and still nothing it really happening. As of this past week, I am not dilated or anything. Our next doctor's appointment is Monday, so we plan on taking a few long walks before then :). Next week, I am working three 12-hour shifts in a row, so if that doesn't put me in labor, I don't know what will. Our good friends had their baby yesterday and that just makes us more excited and anxious to finally have our own.
As far as being ready for the baby, I think we are pretty much there. I'm sure that their will be many last minute things that come up that we need, but we have the basics. So, if anyone has any tips to get things going... we are open to suggestions! :D But, we will keep you posted a little better in the next couple of days.

Andrea,
I'm so excited for you!! A method you may have heard of is castor oil. I tried this twice and it didn't really do anything for me, but it has been known to work for some, if you are truly desperate. Just know to mix it with a drink that is really strong like Sunny Delight and that you will need to be very close to a toilet for a while! Hope all goes well! Any ideas of what you are going to name her?
We can't wait for another baby in the family!! You know you can call anytime if you have questions. As for inducing labor, I walked up the biggest hill I could find. I started having contractions that night, so good luck !! Keep us posted. We love you
As a dancer, I've heard plies can do the job, and my sister-in-law tried a herbal raspberry tea, which by the way was pretty gross. Good luck and we can't wait to see pictures!
Even though I knew it wasn't likely, I was still disappointed that you weren't there on Sunday when I worked. Looks like the little angel isn't coming until she's ready. Hang in there, my first was 4 days late. I work again on the 26th, so if you could wait until the 25th, that would be ideal for me :) Tell your husband to massage your feet and ankles. The pressure points are right by your achilles or around there. Good luck!
