Try a Guinness. I drank one and went into labor 6 hours later. And, I was 15 days early.

In a few months when he's colicky, you'll be wishing he was still inside! Michael's almost 2-1/2 and sometimes I wish that.

I was doing ten miles a day for the 2 weeks before my daughter was born.

Obviously, they come when they want to come.

That being said, sex is supposed to bring babies.

Betty - thanks for the link. I hadn't heard about that study. It seems like there's a new study out every week that links something to IQ or GPA (like the recent breastfeeding study).

Erica, I set the pack and play up yesterday.

I know, EG, I know. I'm just impatient!

Don't want to freak you out but this article might make you reconsider your fetal eviction efforts. Hang in there, you're almost done.

Have you set up the crib, bassinet, or pack and play? Someone told us that all 3 of his children were born the day after they set up the bed. We laughed, funny coincidence, right? Well, my water broke the day after we set up the pack and play in our room.

So, if you haven't already, try it. : - )

You're only 38 weeks pregnant, silly, I'm not sure why you were convinced you'd be able to evict him early.

The acupuncture-induced flipping sounds unpleasant.

Maybe it's like love, when you're not looking for it is when you find it. Act like you don't care and he'll be like, hey wait, I'M COMING!!

When I was pregnant with my second child I had Braxton Hicks all the time near the end. I had lower back pain too. I had lower back pain with my first all day long before I went into labor that night. So I ended up at the hospital thinking I was in labor with the second. In reality I was not, but I think I was just trying to convince myself I was. I was embarassed because you would think that after going through labor once you would be an old pro. Obviously I was not. I ended up being induced. So good luck to you! I'm sure it will be soon!

What flavor would "Oz" flavored ice cream be? Fruity? Pepperminty? CHOCOLATE! With nuts?

I am SO sorry this is taking so long and being so torturous. One of my friends locally is in the same exact space. She got hit by contractions in the grocery store over the weekend. THAT was fun. I am officially thinking laborious thoughts for you.
