50% there, literally!
Well, here I sit 5 centimeters, 50% effaced with a baby's head pushing on every nerve in the lower part of my body! No, I am not in the hospital in labor, I am in my living room on my couch. the doctor cannot believe I have not delivered yet. Not sure if having 10 kids previously has made my body just slowly go into labor or this little one is just stubborn and likes his little hotel, but I guess I have no choice but to wait! Thursday my doctor is on call and wants me to come in with two or three good contractions. Not a difficult thing to do! I have them off and on all day! So I guess that may be the day. I am hoping. I have very large babies. My last one was 3 weeks early and weighed 9lbs 10oz. So the doctor really would like for this one to be get here! Until then... I am praying to go any minute. I can't wait to hold and see this little miracle God has given me!

When my "labor" activity started with my last child I soaked my feet in ginger water (just water with lots of ginger in it) (it will make your feet burn) for about 45 minutes, Strong and even contractions started at 4:00 am and she was born by 8:00 a.m. I'm sure you have heard it all with 10 kiddos but thought I would share. praying for a safe delivery.

praying for you as you wait! Anxious to hear your good news :)
How exciting! My eleventh child was overdue by 9 days. She was born in August and I was dying in the heat.
Your body may well be slowing down a bit, but thankfully we live in such an age where pitocin is there if we need it. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers...

I'm praying for you, Heather! You will soon be holding that sweet little babe!!
