Sure signs my turkey is done cooking...1. The constant urge to pee but when I sit down, absolutely no relief as only a small trickle comes out...then 5 minutes later needing to pee again!!
2. Rolling over in bed is like an Olympic sport requiring all my strength as I throw my body pillow over and then hoist my huge belly over...then as I attempt to fall back asleep, I have to get up to pee for the tenth time!
3. If I hear "you look like you're going to pop" or "let me guess what you're having" from a stranger one more time, I just might pop them!

4. The pregnant "waddle" is in full force with the back arched and belly thrown forward and there's no controlling it at this point.
5. I'm starting to contemplate alternative induction measures: evening primrose oil, garlic chicken pizza at Trio (which I will endulge in anyway - it's delicious), castor oil cocktail (yes, many experienced users have shared their recipe with me although I'm quite frightened by the horror stories of endless diarrhea)...we'll see how desperate I get as the days pass :)
I can't complain too much, I really do feel great considering my due date is 2 weeks away and I'm not all swollen from the heat but it's about time to be done and meet jr. Get this - my dr. hasn't even started checking to see if I'm dialated yet - that's how confident she is that this baby is NOT COMING EARLY! My first "check" won't be until next week at 39 weeks - that's unheard of!! In the meantime, I will work on my patience and try to get as much sleep as I can for now...stay tuned.

I think you should try the castro oil. I haven't told anyone this not even Dallas but the night I went into labor I tried it and sure enough I started having contraction about 5 hours later. After have them for about 6 hours or so about 3 minutes apart. We went to the hospital and I had gone from a 1 1/2 for a 2 1/2. THAT SUCKED!! any way I walked the hospital for any hour and then was at a 3. So they decided to keep me. 2 hours later we had our little Irelynn.
I had none of the bad stuff happen to me that I've heard some people go through after taking it.
Good luck!!! I hate those last couple of weeks!!
Brek-
I think you look simply beautiful. Good luck in the next couple of weeks, and then the next 18 yrs or so. We will be thinking of ya.
Take care-
Megan
