Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures

OK, so not having our baby yet has really become ridiculous to us . My first two came at 38 weeks with my water breaking and both weighed 7 and a half pounds. My third came at 39 weeks with my water breaking and weighed 8 and a half pounds. Baby four is now pushing 41 weeks with no end in sight and YES I am a bit concerned about her size....maybe I will become a member of the exclusive 10 pound baby club!

SO, I have decided to help things move a long and I have started taking the herb Blue Cohosh which should help with starting some contractions. My plan (which I have adjusted more times than I can count) is to have the baby by 6pm tonight!

Why so impatient you might be asking yourself? Well, we have had my mother-in-law here now going on THREE weeks to help out. Every morning it is becoming a little more silly and embarrassing when there is nothing to report (thankgoodness she is such a kind and patient person or I would really be sweating it and getting her hooked on the Twilight series has helped a lot too, but she is finishing up the third book today)! Next, my knees kill I can hardly walk, my groin muscle cramps constantly which drops me to the ground and I have litterly had to crawl to the life saving heating pad to stop the attack, not to mention the adrenalin rush it puts into my older kids who then start yelling "GET THE BIRTHING BALL!" I have to pee constantly, we think I have two ribs out slightly in my back, and my hips ache! SO enough already.

The Lord has really helped me through this pregnancy and has confirmed that all will be well etc so I figure since He created this herb, I might as well use it!

Wish us luck and I hope to post some pictures soon. By the way, I honestly think I am starting to have some contractions!!
