Well, I went for an acupuncture appointment that is specifically geared towards induction. I’ll let you know if it worked. I guess I can’t really tell you if it worked. I don’t have a control case Jessica who didn’t have acupuncture to compare with treatment case Jessica. Ok. Moving on.
The woman I met with suggested that, instead of feeling frustrated about the baby being late, think about all the fun things to look forward to with a new baby. I am going to start a list. Please, chime in:
- Dress her up in all the sweet clothes everyone has given us
- Take pictures of her and make funny captions giving her a sense of humor before she can even see straight (this will mostly be Strider’s responsibility)
- Begin weaning her off oxygen and onto helium–we want that cute baby sound to be permanent
- Watch the responses from our dogs when we bring her home. We feel pretty confident that Gyges won’t think anything is that weird and immediately accept her into the pack. However, Pili will likely add the baby to her list of things she is completely petrified of. That list includes: strangers, card board, the mail man, sneezing, and the stroller.
Any other ideas?
