Tomorrow???

So tomorrow is supposed to be the "BIG DAY".. however, I do not think that is going to become a reality.  So many of my friends have given me advice on how to "make the baby come".   I am coming to believe that these suggestions are from the law firm of "Tooth Fairy, Santa, and Sasquatch".

Myth #1:  Spicy Food

This is definitely a myth.  The only thing that spicy Mexican food will give you is a bottle of tums and a fun filled night of heartburn.

Myth #2:  Walking half on the curb/ half on the street

This is one of the more creative urban legends.  The only possible outcome of this particular myth (being particularly nimble at 9 months) is a broken ankle while going into labor.  There could be a plus to this myth... you could kill two birds with one stone and have your ankle set while getting an epidural. 

Myth #3: "High-Fiving" your husband

There are several downfalls to this particular myth.  First of all, when you are the size of the Titanic, it's challenging to "high five".  Secondly, there is not a huge desire to actually "high five" your husband... you love him dearly, but there is an alien doing the cha cha in your tummy.  Finally, the actual physics of giving a "high five" becomes a challenge when there is a watermelon strapped to your abdomen. 

Myth #4:  Drinking Castor Oil

There actually might be some truth to this one, but, come on... it's Castor oil.

BJ and I had a couple of suggestions to add to the list of wives tales....

1.  Trail of bread crumbs (or a brownie... whatever...)

2.  Shine a flashlight and chant "go towards the light"

3.  Jumping on a trampoline

4.  Riding on the back of a camel

5.  Have someone jump out and scare you (works with the hiccups)

6.  Something with osmosis???
