The Waiting Game



With week 38 of my pregnancy coming to a close, the tedious waiting game begins...
At this point of the pregnancy, I am soooooo ready for our little girl to be here. I feel as though the past 9 months and 1 week have lasted forrrreeevverrr! (Even though they actually went pretty quick...) Every time I struggle to turn over in bed, get off the couch or just bend down to pick something up, I am like “when will this baby get here?!" I can hardly wait to be able to pick up Ryder's tennis ball off the ground and be able to throw it for him like I used to be able to do, or sleep without shifting the entire bed every time I turn over, or just wear normal clothing again! On top of all that, there is the excitement and anxiety of finally becoming a mom and meeting our little girl!

So as I enter these final two weeks of pregnancy, I thought I would research some of the old wives' tales of kick starting labor. Here is the list I came up with-- maybe one of these will work for me... ;)

- Spicy Food
- Frequent Walking
- Exercising
- Fasting
- Driving on a bumpy road
- Being frightened
- Consuming castor oil
- Drinking herbal tea
- Acupuncture

Most of these are folk remedies and some are even ill advised by doctors. Sometimes it is just best to let nature take it's course.

P.S. I would also like to wish the love of my life, my best friend, my rock-- a very, very happy birthday! I am so lucky to have you & our daughter is the luckiest little girl in world to have you as a dad. I love you so much.

  2. Supreme Court gave U.S. states permission to legalize sports activities betting if they wish to take action. In seven other states, there's be} some form of pending laws. You can even increase your payout by betting on particular numbers or a range of numbers (i.e., 1 to 12 or 1 to 18). Hard Rock is a globaly model with hundreds of properties around the globe 메리트카지노 together with cafes, casinos and resorts.
