* Still Waiting *

Well my mother in law arrived on time it was her first time flying and she was not scared at all she got window seats the whole way and she said she was BORED...... if anything okay you heard it from a 50 year old first time flyer from herself......

She got her sunday afternoon not jet lagged just bored lol... Kali has adjusted to her quite well.....remember kali has not seen my husbands family since she could stablize her head.....she already says mamaw......and it all sounds to like mommy so it drives me batty....but it keeps kali outta my hair for a while and allows me to get things done i know that sounds bad but its nice break for a change...

Okay you know you can have the baby anytime now right(jayson says) i said yup i know............really i do know.....i have gained 35 lbs now and i feel that all to well i know i gained anywhere between 20-33 lbs with kali never 35 and its taking tole on my body and driving me nuts so im ready any day now......i have explored my options

Im hoping this baby comes out by wednesday is not no biggie i had kali at 38.5 weeks and i will be just that 2morrow and if thats the case this baby will be baking longer than kali.....don't have problem with that just don't want to have a big baby either....

I have explored my options of natrually inducing my labor some i know of some of which are new to me.

• Walking...climibing stairs
• eating spicy foods or pineapple
• having sex or sexual acts
• drinking castor oil

Okay i know walking helps didn't really know climbing steps did but it makes sense, i did not know eating spicy foods or pineapple .....i knew having sex (which is at the top of my list)  and im not going as far as drinking castor oil to induce labor.

I have also considerd about medically inducing labor.....on my due date(still yet to discuss with the doctor) i would really like to use that as a last resort because there are side effects like hemmorraging after birth stuff like that something im not really willing to taking a chance on.

I WANT TO GO AS NATRUAL AS I POSSIBLY CAN.

after birth.......birth control.

Well after this baby is born we had set out for jayson getting a vasectomy ....his dicsion not mine so i was like okay go on ahead well.........coming closer to the end of pregnancy i askedh im again.....he said he would handle it.....welp i  asked him just recently and we acutally got to disscussing it more and he said I don't want no one coming that close to me cutting me open......so other words he chickend out.

Well i looked up both female and male procedures for permanant sterliaztion there relitively done quite the same  except the incision site his is inbetween both organs mine is right under my belly button or on my abdomn the same place they would use for c-sections and there is no easy way to do mine they now have a "no-needle or no-scapel" to do male sterlization and only cut maybe a inch into the male organs with women its twice the size for the smallest incision and even longer for my abdomn....there is technally no reason why i can not get my tubes tied after this baby but theres a chance that it can come undone..........i am not willing to take that chance after labor when i can do so i have decided to go with the IUD the merina hubby is not comfortable with the dicison BUT my options are limited because i want to breastfeed this baby.....and im not going back on " THE PILL " screw that.

Well my due date is fast approaching and im awaitign my daughters grand apperance anytime now.....as of the last weeks check up i am dilated to 3 cms there are 10 cms til i am fully dilated any one wanna take a stab at

• How long it will be til i go into labor?
• How long my labor will be?
• How long it will take the baby to be pushed out?
• How much she will weigh?

let me give you an idea to help you guess......

1. I was a week and 3 days shy from my due date with kali
2. I labored 15 hrs with kali(women can labor from 1hr-3 days)
3. I pushed for a little less than 30 mins til kali was out(women on average push for 30mins-2hr)
4. Kali weighed in a 6 lbs 10 oz

Now it is said that,

 laboring is usually shorter than the last baby

The baby is bigger when born as well as the baby is pushed out quicker 2.

Hope this helps...

I am off to take a shower i have to take the dog to the vet to get shots and to see if she still has worms....

Til next time.....

ps. my next doctors appoinment is this thursday at 1:15pm and hopefully my last.
