Eric and his brother BJ have been working really hard to get the painting and texturing done in Khloe's room. Eric goes to work on Wednesday, so we are hoping to be able to move furniture in by tomorrow evening. In the room, there is one wall that is green with a white stripe, and the other walls are white with a green stripe. On the white walls, Eric decided to paint orange and yellow flowers in three different sizes above the stripe. It think it looks really adorable in her room.
Eric had one wisdom tooth pulled last week and another one pulled today, so I am amazed he has been wanting to work so much in her room. He is getting just as excited as I am.
If she is born on her due date, then in Eric's next set of days off, we'll have a baby! I am actually hoping that she will come early, like the 4th or 5th of February, since that is the beginning of Eric's seven days off. We'll see.
I am open to suggestions of not creepy or disgusting ways to help start labor. I have done some reading online, and some of the home remedies for trying to start labor have horrible side-effects, like severe diarrhea or hemorrhaging. No thanks...
I went to the doctor today, and he said nothing is going on yet...I'll be pregnant for at least another week. That is ok, but I am hoping for not too much longer than that.

Well there's walking, Brad and I walked A LOT the week I kept having false labor at was at 6cm. Raspberry tea and Jasmine are good herbal teas to help start labor. I drank one from http://www.herblore.com that was yummy during the week before labor. I also did an inversion position (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOXiV4nUOXQ) that I found online after being sent home twice at 6 cm with no progression. My water broke the next morning. He wasn't breech but it was enough for him to move his head the right way so it helped dialation.
Well, and there's also... well, you know. ;-)
My number is on facebook if you need to chat!
The only good one that I know about is the aforementioned, uh, you know. :D
Good tips, I will keep them in mind for my preparations next week.
Pedicure/foot massage. I have not tried because I have been told that in the last few months of pregnancy that you will be turned away if you go to get a pedicure. Something about it starts labor. So if you can find someone to give you a foot massage, maybe like Eric, that would help. And maybe you might even be able to get someone to give you a pedicure if you prove to them that it is almost your time anyway. Maybe this will help. Good luck and I'm praying for you, Eric, and precious Khloe!
