The only thing worse than going past your due date without giving birth is finding out that you are making ZERO progress!
Yep, as of my appointment yesterday I am still fingertip dilated, 50% effaced, cervix posterior i.e. not a lick of progress since last week. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

My best friend from childhood Alexis and her boyfriend Scott are coming into town and staying with through Christmas eve.

Normally I’m [...]

What I mean by this is that in my herculean effort to actually GET pregnant, I have to treat my body like I already am.
For example, I have quit smoking (even socially) drinking, diet coke and cut back to 1 cup of coffee per day. At my accupuncturist’s insistance I am also eating more to [...]
