I think it's TIME!!



I am SOOO done being pregnant, this baby is so low that every time I stand up I feel like my bladder is about to burst, and I've been a little crazy trying a few home remedies to get this baby to come out.  I've finally (after A LOT of discussion, prayer, and going back and forth) decided I'm going to try a VBAC, I am a little nervous but I feel really good about my decision.  I also think the sooner the better, since Kloee came the day before and the only reason was that she didn't fit is why I had a c-section before, I can't help but wonder if I can get this baby to come a little early she might fit!  I've had MANY suggestions on how to do this and my mom is the winner so far, she told me to eat FRESH pineapple, so I ate a WHOLE pineapple on Tuesday and I have been having contractions ever since, I did get checked on Wednesday morning and the Dr. said I'm 75% effaced and dilated only to a 1.5, but at least it's not at 0 right?  She did suggest not going too far from home though because it could be hours, days or weeks. So I came home yesterday and went to work, I cleaned the house from top to bottom, I got on the elliptical for a bit, and just kept moving until bedtime last night. Today on the schedule is more pineapple, a LONG walk, and MAYBE tackling cleaning out my craft room (the only messy room left in the house, and it's bad.) Anyways, we will keep you posted!

I think it's fantastic that you're gonna do VBAC.
Great decision.
You can do it, your determined and a strong woman.
I hope it goes well.
Now I feel like eating pineapple.

Really? It's time already? Wow. Time flies when you're the one that's not pregnant! Good luck with the VBAC!

Yeah! I remember trying pineapple, but it didn't do much for, but it sure tasted good! I did push mow, a yard though, and that got her to come. :)

Good luck with the VBAC...I wanted to do that but sadly I am not dilating this time either. So c-section it is again.

If you'd like some company at homr on on a walk (and she's still not hear by Monday, since I'll be gone this weekend) just come on by or call or something. I'm always wanting to take the boys out, but always end up not doing it because I get bored walking by myself after 10 mins.
