Trying Pineapple to induce....

Hubby is on his way to the grocery store for 2 nice ripe fresh pineapples. I have tried every other *safe* ways to induce here at home. I tried walking, lots of sex, swining on swings, walking up and down hills, walking 1 foot on the curb, accupressure, nipple stimulation, relaxation, eggplant parmesean, red raspberry leaf tea, and more walking and sex. lol

I refuse to use castor oil, cohosh herbs, and evening primrose oil, pretty much any herbal stuff since I have no idea what effects it can have on me or baby.

So I am going to eat my fresh pineapples and take a nice warm bath to relax and see if it does anything. If it doesn't then I guess im doomed lol.

he makes jadyn look puney in comparison (he was 3 pounds 8 ounces at my 34 week ultrasound, hopefully around 4 pounds 8 ounces or 5 pounds now.)

lmao omg I always chase my cat around on all 4s!! I would play with George that way too but he has a nice way of prancing and he would probably knock me on my butt.. But I love doing that with Chauncey.. I think he hates me now though ever since I have kicked him out of my closet he's been giving me evil looks.

i should just find a dictionary and start typing things into google.. ugh 2 more hours and then I can go home and go to bed.

Betty it isn't to soon I dont think. Im only 37 and 4 days, and im trying like I have never tried before. Hubby told me to just start pushing and maybe he will fly out...lmfao I highly doubt it.

And yes...I so want Conner out lol, he is an estimated 8 pounds 2 ounces right now, which is a normal size for me, but im 4'9 with a very itty bitty torso...and I haven't seen my feet to change my nail polish in a long time! So im def. desperate lol.

I do the same thing, I sit here on my computer and google c r a p out of no where. I once googled the word *dork* and even though I know the *scientific* meaning for it, I had to look it up lol. I even went as far as chasing my poor kitties around the house on all fours...and man does that hurt lol. But my kids joined in and it was fun lol.

Then there is the poor DH, the target of every single thing I can possibly throw at him lol. Wether it be words of hormones, or popping him on the butt with a wet towel, he gets the brunt of it all lol. So I know how the bordom sets in lol.

ooo Contraction.....maybe im digesting lmao

lmao I love how we have our latenight threads that all 3 of us comment back and forth throughout the night..

I never really thought about having sex to make the baby come out.. But im 35 weeks so Im not thinking "last resort" yet.. Ill give it at least 2 more weeks. lol

Pssh damn right sex is boring when you're pregnant!! I never realized how much I would miss my skinny body until I actually got this fat.. Jadyn doesn't move much when me and Travis are "in the moment" so thats not something that we worry about lol.. He actually doesn't move too much at all anymore because he has no room.. He gets hiccups like 3 or 4 times a  day and sits and punches away down by my crotch but thats nothing that Travis could feel anyway lol

Well.. I'll make a mental note not to eat pineapple unless I want a belly ache and a headache.. But 2 pounds of pineapple.. wow lol you really do want conner out!!

LOL i like the optimism you have even after eating 2 pounds of gut turing, headache causing pineapple.. Wish I was at home so I had some sort of entertainment other than sitting at this stupid computer looking up anything and everything on the internet.. know anything good I could look up?? Most sites are blocked.. and Im running out of ideas.. so far I have estimated the exact amount of how much it will cost to furnish a house (Im thinking about renting a duplex somewhere around feb. or march)
And in the case that Jadyn is born before halloween I have looked up "mommy baby" costumes..(I think we will go as a kangaroo and a joey.)

lol.. Im running out of creativity.

lol Im the type of person that nothing is TMI with me so it doesnt bother me, I know the sex situation, I infact am NEVER in the mood but im doing it to try and pop this baby out. Sex is boring now, the only way we can do it is spooning lol. I can't be on top cuz it squishes the belly and hubby doesnt like feeling the baby move during sex, freaks him out lol. He wont be on top because he is scared he is going to slip and fall on me, and my a$$ has gotten so huge that I refuse 100% to bend over in any situation in front of hubby lol.

I ate my 2 pounds of pineapple, and so far all I have is an upset tummy and a headache lol. I don't think I ever want to see another pineapple in my entire life lol

I guess I am officially DOOMED! oh well on the brighter side...my cat just caught a fly lol
