The Time Draws Near

It's funny that the closer you get to delivery, the more people volunteer information on how to make the baby come faster whether by old wives tales or by medically proven senarios. The obvious ones are running, walking, jumping up and down, etc.... But I have heard of a few other ones. The paramedic who lives upstairs in our complex mentioned hot baths... but I can't remember if she said it was true or not to worry about it because it doesn't work. Then my visiting teacher mentioned that if you go to get a pedicure and foot massage... they won't massage your feet because it can induce labor... You know how when you have a headache you can massage a part of your hand to relieve it? Well it's the same concept. So here I am getting more and more uncomfortable (finally) and waking up more and more in the middle of the night to use the restroom... and some of these ideas don't sound half bad. Of course I won't intentionally go out of my way to bring on labor because I am terrified of what may be coming (not taking care of a baby because I have more confidence in that but rather of the pain involved with labor) but still thinking how nice it would be if the baby came early and not the same week Jarod starts school let alone two days before. I just have to keep doing what I have been all along with work and staying active. I want this pregnacy to end as well as it has been progressing. Nothing wrong so far... keep your fingers crossed that all will go well.
