THE BUTTON POP!!!

It finally happened. The belly button popped out. Took long enough! Looks like a nipple. It's so silly. We're naming it RALPH

AND SO WEEK 39 BEGINS.

LOSING PATIENCE!!!!

This kid is so stubborn! We've been at 1cm for a full week + now - cramping like crazy but no contractions worth getting excited about. My dr stripped the membranes to try and move things along, but this child is on his/her own agenda. There's really nothing I can do! I'm waiting for my water to break or for the most unbearable cramps I can imagine. Truthfully, I've been uncomfortable for a while now, and I just don't know if my body is getting used to it, or if my pain threshold is like totally off. I had spicy pizza for lunch followed by driving over a really bumpy road. It would be really nice to have this kid over the weekend so we don't interrupt anyone's work schedules. Let's go esse! Cmon!

Hot Sauce and Pressure Points and Baths OH MY

ok. I know technically my due date isn't for another 12 days, but I have had it. I am ready for this kid to come out. Yesterday I got a pedicure and afterwards, the baby was going INSANE like trying to BREAK OUT. I got excited, thinking it would induce labor. I even got in the bath and put the jets on the pressure points on my toes. Nothin. Today I woke up, (bed/tarp still dry) and doused eggs with Frank's Red Hot. Now I'm doing this (see picture) - I read that there are pressure points at the tip of your pinky toes. LET'S GO KID!

PHOTOSHOOT BY THE WATER
