Now for the voodoo medicine

Woe is me. My doctor's appointment got booted to this afternoon because my doc had to attend to someone who WAS in labor yesterday. I think I could handle about any reason for having to reschedule BUT the fact that someone ELSE was in labor. Talk about salt in the wound! So, now I am counting down the minutes until my appointment to see how far along I am and to make sure everything is okay.
I have inquired on facebook as to alternatives to promoting labor and have had some good suggestions. I am going to go holistic on this pregnancy and get me some raspberry leaf tea, evening primerose oil (why evening, I don't know) and then get me some pineapple. I cannot believe it has come to this. As an added bonus, I even inquired about acupuncture. If it comes to me looking like a porcupine to get Olivia into this world, then I will do it. I am curious about the practice anyway, and almost considered it as a fertility treatment when I was trying to get pregnant.
I wonder if I just have an uber strong uterus...maybe something's going on down there that makes it hard to get pregnant and hard to go into labor. These past two weeks have been sheer torture and I am not sure I can make it longer. I hope my doc wants to induce me sooner than later...if it comes to that.
Yesterday I decided to call John at work to ask him to pick up some eggs. He answered the phone "you having a baby?". I guess I should have pondered randomly calling John at work during this time. I just didn't consider that he is as anxious as I to have some different news.
