Bigger and bigger.
We met with the mighty Dr. Betty Lee this morning and Lucy continues to grow wild and unchecked, like scrub-brush. Our August 19th due date might become a piece of fiction; Week 38 shall decide which type of birth is for us. If Lucy continues to grow but does not descend, as she has refused to do thus far, then the chances of a C-section increase. Apparently big babies don't like to leave the womb, they find it quite nice in there. Apparently they have Food Network and watch the Dog Whisperer all day.
A co-worker told me today that ultrasounds of almost-born babies reveal a smile, which they lose right after they're born due to shock of the real world. That makes sense to me, although we're trying to coax Lucy along with lots of walking, which can help trigger labor. There's also The Salad, which is served at a restaurant near us. The Salad is supposed to induce labor; Romaine, Watercress, Walnuts & Gorgonzola with a Balsamic Vinaigrette. Can watercress do that?

Lucy, Stay strong. Play it your way. Don't let mom and dad get the upper hand. Give 'em an inch and they will think they own you for like 18 years. Drop whenever you feel like it...or don't. I guess what I'm saying is, I like your style. Keep on with the keep on.
Burritos and Bangin'! We got 2 of our 3 from the local lanes to express with the help of Mexican food and sex. Stop reading this comment, go to Yucca's, down some chimichangas and get jiggy with it. Look forward to hearing about Lucy's arrival in the morning.
All the best during this terrific time.

Above is a link for natural induction. I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was good old western medicine. Pitocin & Cervidil and the doctor breaking my water. I hope one of the natural ways will lure Lucy out!
I didn't want to get sleezy but Sarah Burke has set the pace!
Apparently sex helps but at 38 weeks I would have rather chewed aluminum foil. Get a foot rub! They say even massage therapists aren't supposed to touch your feet when you are in the third trimester.
Don't you love that you are getting all this advice without asking for any of it? I guess that is what bloggin is about though.
Don't worry...My little Lucy bird is just being dramatic like her Dad.
We love you!!
