well, this may not make you feel any better...but my 1st one was a week and a half late....but the good news is no matter how long she wants to take you have an end date no matter what! Good Luck!

Ok Shelley...lets get this baby out! I'll try to keep this PG or PG 13 at least: Put Aaron to work (in the bedroom) if you know what I mean. When your done, lay there for a while & let the love juice (prostaglandins) do their job...just like when you were trying to get pregnant in the first place. Nipple stimulation releases your body's natural oxytocin, which stimulates contractions: both sides for a few minutes at a whack, then rest. (Aaron doesn't have to do that part). Sorry if I have offended anyone, sometimes you just have tell it like it is. When all is said & done, if your body isn't ready, it isn't ready & all of the above may just make you miserable, but it's worth a try if you're desperate. Good luck!

Paul and I also tried Chinese food (I had a craving for it)! We both heard that Chinese food can make you go into labor. We think it might of worked. I believe we had Chinese food the night (or two) before Lauren was born. Sorry for this next comment but, I also put Paul to work (in the bedroom) every night. She was only 4 days late...not bad!

Not Much? Don't be too sure. Sounds as if you are on your way. You can go from 1 to 10cm in the blink of an eye. Your body is getting ready!

And, um...Amy, Aaron's Mom reads this!

I know Kathleen...it crossed my mind, but desperate times call for desperate measures. He's obviously done it once in his life (we hope)! Your virginal eyes will mend I'm sure.
