Can you tell that I am very anxious to have my body back?
My pregnancy really has been pretty great up until this last month or so. But I am at the point that I am just sick of having to think first of Baby Woos and then of me. The other day after work I really wanted a glass or two or three of wine but I had to resist... and what is strange is that I really haven't craved any alcohol while pregnant. I think it is because I know it is so close and that is what is triggering me to want the things I know I can't have. I know I will always being thinking of Baby Woos but it is going to be soo nice to exercise and bust my butt knowing I don't have to worry if my heartbeat gets to high or if I have a small cramp because I know it won't have anything to do with the baby.

Signs to look forward to this week:
-false labor
-water breaking
-mucus plug
-more cramping
-braxton hicks contractions
Basically all the signs are for me to be ready at any time to go into labor.

Today was my last day of work and I am officially ready to go into labor and have Baby Woos. So although I am not dilated I am doing my best to speed up this process. I had a prenatal massage yesterday and had my therapist massage every trigger spot that she knows of. I have been eating extra spicy food and I am trying to stay active around the house cleaning. Plus I will finally be able to go for a walk tonight-- it has been raining like cats and dogs here for the past week and then when it finally stops raining it is so humid and miserable outside.
I was looking online for other ways to naturally induce labor and came across a few new ideas to me that I will be trying these next few days:
- balsamic vinegar
- bananas & pineapple
- basil & oregano
- bouncing on an exercise ball
- bumpy car ride
- chinese food
- dancing
- eggplant
- kneeling on all fours
- spicy food
- squats
- swimming
- walking
Who knows what will work, if anything, but it doesn't hurt to try. I think Baby Woos will just come out when he is ready!
Silly girl lol at tbis one.
