So...

If the baby does not come of its own accord before then, we will induce on Tuesday morning. I've done all I can to make my body as inhospitable as possible--long walks, spicy food, deep knee bends. The only thing I refuse to attempt is a big gulp of castor oil. So, if my pokey little puppy stays put, they're hooking me up to Pitocin and, to try a metaphor, ripping the sheets off the bed and opening the shades. Wish us luck!!!
