Babysoroos

Well, we are now at 41 weeks, and no sign of baby Soroos yet. At the last midwife appt, everything still looked and sounded fine, so we’re not worrying yet. Or, we’re trying not to worry yet. I’m getting a little impatient though. I’m trying some of the natural things I can do that might get labor started – lots of walking, spicy food, black and blue cohosh (herbal remedy), evening primrose oil… Next week I’ll be trying massage and/or acupuncture if things still aren’t moving. We have one more week during which we can deliver at the birth center as planned. After 42 weeks, the birth center is not licensed and we’ll have to go to the hospital, which will mean a major attitude adjustment for me. I’m really hoping something happens this week!

In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures we took a few days before our due date. Trying to be artistic, you know. We will probably take some more this weekend, just in case I’ve grown even more!
