How to Induce Labor
Here is a list of suggestions I got this morning at my Yoga class.
1. Drink red raspberry LEAF tea. The LEAF part was important - I guess it's different than just raspberry tea.
2. Climb stairs
3. Lots of walking (which I'm already doing every morning with Tigger, it hasn't helped yet)
4. Acupuncture - my Yoga instructor gave me the name of her acupuncture person who induces labor in pregnant women. I asked where was she going to poke the needles? She said probably in your feet . . . that made me feel a little better.
5. Eat a famous salad from Caioti Pizza Cafe - known for inducing women. I guess there have been many articles on this salad and the ingredients that make women go into labor. That one sounded fun to me. Gil can take me on Wednesday if I don't have the baby by then.
6. 1 TB of Castor Oil mixed with a little soda so it doesn't taste so bad. Drink it with a straw placed at the back of your mouth (again, so you can't taste it) and then follow it up with a peanut butter cup that will soak up all the residual oil in your mouth. The only down side to this one is that I hear it can make you spend time on the commode.
The problem I have now is that I would rather NOT have the baby on Tues, which is our anniversary (also the baby's real due date), and I really don't want to have the baby on Wed. because it's April Fool's day. So that means that unless I have the baby in the next two days, he has to wait until Thursday to make his debut. These next few days will be very interesting.

Jessa was due on my birthday, but she was born on our anniversary. We've given up that date to her birthday. Of course, we have another anniversary that we celebrate in December. Which really ought to work out, but it New Year's Eve.
Dearest child, Maybe he doesn't want to come because of the name! Try 'Hudson Wolf Juarez' instead. That would probably make him feel so happy!! I love you -
I vote for Thurs!
I am at work at the Family History Library and my post goes right through. I am totally frustrated because at home it never likes my user name and password.
I am typing a master user name & password spred sheet... saving it on my flash drive so hackers can't access it.
O thought the idea was briliant.
I have so many user names and passwords I am about to go nuts!
I hope this solves the problem.
