Looking for clues

The latest news is that there is no real news. The last visit to the doc on Thursday showed 2.5-3cm dilation, so a slight change over the previous week. Our OB is the on-call doc today, Friday and Sunday, so we were hoping it would happen on one of those three days because she is such a lovely person and we'd be delighted to have her run the show. With that in mind we began to deploy some natural induction methods yesterday (if you don't know what this means, Google it, you'll figure it out...)

Today we woke to find ourselves still waiting, so natural induction continues, with K going for another vigorous walk around the hill and eating licorice. Of note is that she thinks she's feeling that natural burst of energy that is very often a sign that labor is just around the corner. Her friend told her that that is how things went for her: itchy feet (figuratively), a walk, then weariness. Then BAM, labor.

As if the waiting isn't frutrating enough, our friend E mentioned that her friend who has a due date one day after ours had her baby yesterday, with virtually no warning signs to indicate it was gonna happen. Damn! They totally beat us to the punch. C'mon Raspberry, pack your bags, time to move to your new room....
