im ready now

seriously im ready for this kid to come out now, its not that im to the point where im super uncomfortable although the back aches are getting pretty ridiculous, i just want him to come cause im ready to meet the little guy and im getting excited. I went to the dr. on monday @ 38 weeks i had made some progress since my last visit. i am dilated 1 cm and effaced 80% that counts for something right. i know its not a lot but it got me excited. So this week i have been trying everything to get things started hoping he might decide to come early for me, well he isnt having it, ive tried all that im going to try. Even though i have been working out my whole pregnancy, i decided to step up the intensity a little bit and i have been going to zumba and doing a lot of bouncy walking, we made eggplant parmigiana and supposedly that starts labor but not for me, i ate it two days in a row, i tested out my breast pump, bad idea, i have been drinking raspberry leaf herbal tea, tried pressure points, squats, and last but not least a pedicure, but nothing has worked. I did lose my plug this morning so thats good news, (to me) but i guess ill just have to relax now and enjoy the time i have left since these natural induction techniques didnt work and let him come on his own, i just hope i dont have to go over my due date. Lets cross our fingers!
