Well, it's past Christmas day - 3 days past Christmas to be exact, and still no baby. My mom says she was within a few days of her due date with me, and Maggie (my sis) was 2 weeks late with her first son. That doesn't really help.
So on Christmas night, we tried Castor oil. That was awesome (not really), but it did not work - just crampy and... well, other things that we don't need to talk about here. We've tried some other things on the "home remedy" list also that have not panned out, either. He's obviously not ready yet!
BUT he "dropped" on Christmas Eve morning - his head is lower in my belly - which is a very good sign! and my doctor is trapped in a snow storm in Chicago, so that probably means he's going to be ready any time now=)
So - we had a great, quiet Christmas - lots of family and friends and lots of food. I got jewelry for both December and January - score! - my hubby says that way he's covered in case the baby comes either month.... what a nut!
Anyway, I'll try to blog more frequently now, so in case some action is happening, you'll get more details here.... we'll also plan to post at least something on FBook.
Love and blessings to you all-

Nothing dilated yet!
Hey all - Had a dr appointment this morning and there is no dilation going on... we are 38 weeks today, and 40 weeks is your 'normal' gestational timeframe. She was hoping I'd be at least a little dilated, but he's just not ready yet=)
We had a good Thanksgiving, stuck close to home and got a lot of work done on the baby room (aka "Bachelor Pad"), including moving the final dresser out, cleaning clothes out of the closet, ordering the rocker, and insulating the window. We go to pick up the rocker tonight, so that means ALL the furniture is in and ready, and we just need to tidy stuff up a bit... how exciting!
It's snowing here again, and cold. I thought pregnant women were supposed to be hot? Yeah, well, I go through spurts, I guess, but mostly freezing my butt off right now!
Not much to report, but wanted to say hi to everyone. Been feeling like a homebody lately, which is apparently normal as well. Anyone who's making Christmas cookies is welcome to send a few our way (ok... my way!) as I'm looking forward to the taste without the work!
