Okay, well today we had a non-stress test to watch the baby's heartbeat, to make sure it was working good. We also had a device measuring contractions. Of course, the whole way to the appointment he was moving around and I had a few Braxton Hicks, but when I was strapped the the thingy, he moved a few times, then must've went to sleep. The last 15 minutes were so boring. lol. After that, we had an ultrasound. He must've still been sleeping, because he barely moved at all. I think we just decided that he's an uncooperative baby because during his last ultrasound he wouldn't let us see his face, and during this one, he had his hand in front of it again. Another obvious reason is that he didn't like his due date, so he's holding out on us. :) All this testing told them that he is just very comfortable, and is safe in there for a few more days if that's what he wants. yay. (not enthusiastic) The one lady did tell me, however, that he won't be in there more than a week.
So, still no exciting news yet. Still waiting.

Busy Day
Well, I've had busier, but for a 4-day over-due lady, it was enough.
Julie had planned on coming down to visit us and the baby today, on the 28th. Well, today came, the 28th, and no baby. :) So, I just went over to visit them. I went and played with Audrianna and Timmy before lunch.
After that, I made stops at Rite Aid, CVS, Goodwill, and Walmart. Boy, was I tired. I made one more stop after that. I bought another diaper, so that brings me up to 8 of this brand, and 13 total cloth diapers. They are currently on sale, too!
So I got home and had lots of ice cream to put away, as well as other tasty treats. :) I think I've had more cravings these last two weeks than the rest of the pregnancy.
The baby's been moving around a lot these last two days, like he's trying to figure out how to get outta there..

Not my thing..
I think that I need to stop saying that I am not a patient person. Everythime I say that, it seems God says, "Okay, let's work on that, then." I know if you pray for patience you should expect opportunities to show it. So I will pretend to be patient. :)
I did get a new phone this week, so that kept me busy for a few hours. Today I might go and walk around the Emporium. Just waiting for someone else to want to go with me. Brownie said she would, but I didn't have any dresses that would fit her. -I wouldn't want her to go shopping undressed, now, would I?
Sitting at home all day eveyday, watching these commercials really gets me wanting a pool. If you know me very well, you'd say that's strange, because I do not normally like swimming. In the last two years I think I went two times, And I was forced. lol.

T-minus 2 days and counting
Lol... I guess it's like a launch..?? Anyways, still no baby.
I had my appointment today. She said everything is the same. I told her that I've been looking up natural labor inducers and bouncing on an exercise ball. She laughed. In fact, I'm bouncing on it now, as I type. So talented.. I've read a lot that the bouncing probably won't induce, but a friend from church said that after taking evening primrose and bouncing, she had one of her babies. So, my midwife (who doesn't seem very herbally and natural minded) and I discussed several differnt herbs. She said she personally tried black and blue cohosh and it gave her contractions close enough to put her into the hospital, and then they brok her water, and she delivered 38 minutes later. Hmm.. sounds tempting. She did say, though, that she would never do it again because the taste was so bad. Is it worth it? I guess it depends how desperate I get. I'll probably wait until at least tomorrow. I went to Lori's after my appointment, and bought the two tinctures. I'll have to read up on how much to take and how often. I think it said I can take it in juice. That doesn't sound as bad. My midwife said she held her nose, then used Listerine before she uplugged her nose... that's how bad it tasted. :)
I did, however, have a cantraction this morning. At it wasn't a whimpy Braxton Hicks thing. About quarter after 4 this morning there was a loud crash of lightning. I jumped out of my skin, Andrew jumped because I did, and Brownie flew out of the room. It was a loud crash. lol. I guess it scared the baby, too, because he wanted out. We waited, and no other contractions. So, no exciting news yet..

*sigh*
I'm not complaining. I have to tell myself that. Just waiting. I've never thought of myself as a patient person. That's why when I was in school I always said I'd never be a teacher. (big mocking laugh)
Now I know that only in God's timing the baby will come, but, last night while I was home with my balloon feet I was looking up things to help start labor. One site had black cohash, blue cohash, and castor oil. Then I googled where to get castor oil but the site I went to strongly advised against taking it because it gives you bad gas. :D SSSoooooo.... I think I'm convinced not to try it.
So Andrew thought I was going to have the baby on the 16th or 17th. Then, he now says he'd like the 20th (today) because his birthday is on the 20th of January. I'm thinking the 21st would be neat because it's the first day of summer. My due date isn't until Friday (24th). I was born on my due date because I was a good baby. So, any other guesses? Don't anyone dare say July 4th. That's not even funny.
But I will be doing some walking today because I need to go grocery shopping. I just discovered we only have 1 1/2 rolls of toilet paper left, and with my current bladder condition, that won't last very long. And I found some good deals at CVS this week that I can't pass up. But first I think I'm going to take a motorcycle ride to Darien Lake to ride some roller coasters. I'll let-chya know how that goes ;)

Wonderful Air
I love air conditioning! I never have felt this way before. I usually like to be warm and cozy even in the summer, but this year I'd rather be cold and chilly. Maybe that will change in a few weeks?
Oh yes, I am 39 weeks today. 7 days until my due date. That's one week. (I know that's an obvious statement, I was just saying it for emphasis.) I know he could come anytime, but it seem like it will never happen. :)
The boy's room is finally all done! We brought a bookshelf in today and set it all up. We really need a mattress, but it's on its way, and he doesn't need to use his crib yet. But, his room looks done. That's all that really matters to me right now. I took pictures of his room, but I'm too lazy to get out the other computer. This one doesn't let me upload pictures to blogger.
I ate a whole pinapple yesterday. I've started on another one today. We're determined to have this baby. lol. We also had Mexican last night, and the strangest thing happened.. I ate chips and salsa. It's strange because I don't like salsa. We also walked arounf Walmart, and across the restaurant parking lot to the verizon store.. Maybe I'll get some ambition to take a walk with Brownie today. (She also likes pineapple.. she gets my scraps.)
Okie doke. all this food talk is making me hungry, so I'm off to get some fruit.
