I had an ultrasound yesterday where it was estimated that the baby is 8 pounds and 6 ounces...looking more like a 40 week 5 day baby than the 38 week baby that the calendar predicts.
I've spent my first week of maternity leave trying to naturally induce labor. Walking, eating spicey foods, cleaning, and all the other unmentionables...I've done them all! This baby seems to be comfortable where it is. I'm so anxious and excited to meet him/her that I can hardly stand it. I really dont want to be induced at the hospital as I have heard how much more painful and abrupt labor is with Pitocin. I'll keep trying my methods and pray that this baby comes before the doctor insists on hitting eject :).
Here's the latest ultrasound!

I remember being where you are, walking, spicy foods, etc! I was induced with Lia and still had a 15 hours labor! they do gradual doses so that it doesn't hurt you or the baby. With Bella I was induced cuz she was not responsive and I only had 4 hours of labor, with her I was glad she came so fast and the pitocin proved no complications for her either. I understand about going natural, but baby is getting pretty big, it may be a little hard to push! hang in there, can't wait to see pics! Good luck!
