Due Date + 5

Just a quick post. We are now five days past my due date and still no chance of a baby! She is getting so strong in there as she pushes around and stretches. I have received lots of advice as to how to get her out- some of which I have tried and some of which I am not quite desperate enough to try yet. Here are a few of the repeatable, non-pornographic ones:

5. Drink castor oil: although my MD said "Don't drink it. It won't work and will only make you sick."
4. Walking: Danny's job this weekend was to walk me and the dog. So Saturday we hiked up Millcreek Canyon- uphill- for about 2 and 1/2 hours. Still no baby. . . .
3. Spicy Food: I may need to give this one some more effort.
2. Drink balsamic vinegar- a full 8 oz. glass: Someone told me their Italian mother-in-law made them do this and it worked.
1. And I quote "The only way to get it out of there is the same way it got in there."

Any other good ideas? Luckily, Wednesday is our cut-off date and my MD will induce me. Hallelujah!

I did the castor oil with my first and vowed to never do it again. I was so sick. And I still didn't go into labor. I'd rather go a month over than drink castor oil!
