Prego Appt Update:
What a great baby appointment we just had on Tuesday! Doc said that the baby has DROPPED (she could even feel his head from down below) and that we are effaced to 50%. So really it could be any day now - even though I think that it will be another week to a week and a half away! So now, I begin to try the old wives tales to kick this into gear. Spicy foods are out - there is no way my tummy can handle that. Fresh pineapple is really pricey right now - so that one is on hold. Walking - this one I will do even though now that Thayer has dropped the hip is in utter agony. Scrubbing the floor on hands and knees - yeah, not sure about this one with the bad hip and a knee that hurts - but we will see. Sex - oh yes for sure. Nipple stimulation - well (hahaha) not sure what I think about this one. Castor oil - only if I get really desperate b/c i hear it makes you crap out your pants, but it seems to work?!?! Gosh, going back over the list it looks as though I have nixed everything but sex - nice...good thing it is my hubby's birthday today! :)
Countdown is on - 15 days to go!

"Any day now" to an OBGYN means "sometime in the next two weeks, maybe." Bummer, isn't it :)
Castor Oil is nasty and it doesn't work, anecdotal evidence is totally circumstantial. It will give you yucky diarrhea. Not a baby.
Pineapple can't hurt...at least it's tasty.
Walking is great in early labor, but it doesn't put you into labor. Same with hands/knees positions. But they'll get your baby in a great position, helping to avoid back labor. Great stuff, but it won't "induce" you.
Sex...is truly your best bet. Do it on your hands/knees, two birds with one stone :)
There, I'm done :)
