Old Wives Tales
You hear lots of old wives tales about ways to naturally induce labor...I tried a couple over the last couple days - and NOTHING.
Friday I had jalepenos. DO NOT do this. Not only was my chest on fire but the poor baby wasn't comfortable either because he was moving around like crazy. So, I vote against the spicy foods tale!!
Yesterday I looked up reflexology and the trigger points in your hands and feet that are supposed to induce labor. For 30 minutes I had Chris massage 3 of the points on my feet - you'd think that even if this didn't work to induce labor it'd still be nice to be getting a foot massage. Wrong. These "trigger points" are sensitive and it's actually a little painful to rub on them (the internet research I did said that you know you are hitting the right points when it feels like you are touching a bruise....) - NOTHING here either : (
I've come to the conclusion that this boy will be like his father - late for everything! Dawson didn't get that trait, he's an early riser and ready for school an hour before he has to be there - Zach is already starting off more like his dad in the timely aspect : )

STATS...........
Here's to hoping this is the last time I post the progress of the pregnancy : )
Baby Zachary is 39 weeks 1 days old - or 9 3/4 months - or 274 days
I'm 97.9% through my pregnancy and 93.4% through the third trimester
6 days remain until my due date.
Less than a week until the due date!!!!

39 week appointment
I had my 39 week appointment yesterday. Since my doctor went and got married over the weekend I didn't get to see her, but her dad - so this means I didn't get checked for dilation/effacement. So what happened was the "normal" stuff:
blood pressure: good
weight: didn't gain ANY! A first....
measurement:38 weeks
heartrate:I have no clue - he doesn't speak English very well and talks so fast I had no clue what he said!!!
position:head down!
Words of advice from the doctor:
"If shoes get wet go to the hospital"
LOL!!!
My next appointment will be a week from today - my due date based on conception date. (My due date based on my last period, which is what the doctor goes by, is July 1 - but I've always went by June 29th for journaling purposes...it's only 2 days different, and in my mind the June date is more accurate : ) I'm stubborn! : )
