Our attempts at Inducing Labor!

Man, I'm still pregnant! 40 weeks have come and gone. I also didn't know I would be waving goodbye to 41 weeks, too!

We tried a variety of things to encourage little Baby DiLeonardi to make an appearance. Outside of the given frisky events that most people know of to try inducing labor, I......

- ate pineapple (thanks Yvette and Randi!)

- went on daily walks

- went into the mountains for lunch

- more physical exercise (those leaves needed a good raking!)

- spicy food (resulted in stronger heartburn and no baby)

- bumpy road

- talking to baby

- relaxing (pedicure)

- pressure points on feet and palms

- fun distractions (farkle, baby quilt, and jelly making)

- prayed

After a long walk tonight, ending in Sean praying that little baby will come soon on it's own time and a great feast of Chicken A'la King, I'm turning in early to bed, with tiredness and a tinge of anxiety :)

At my Dr. Appt today, I was hooked up to a machine that showed baby's heartbeat and contractions :) Baby's doing great, I have 5 times the amniotic fluid than the average woman at 41 weeks, I'm having contractions, but baby? Are you too comfortable in there?

We're just excited to meet you! Goodnight!
