So this is a pic I took shortly after my last post (at 36 weeks/8+ months along)...found the camera and had Rigo take one. That was a couple weeks ago. Approaching 39 weeks now and this little one is still cooking in the oven...and I'm exhausted already! The back and pelvic pains have gotten worse, and oh man the feet and ankles are super swollen. I put myself on semi-bedrest to make the swelling go down, and it's helped a little...they don't look like potatoes anymore haha. My belly is so heavy and I no longer walk, I waddle. But I guess that's typical at this point. So everything is ready, we are just anxiously awaiting Kaylana's arrival. Any tips on inducing labor naturally? =)

Ahhh, it is funny how when we get our bodies back, we kind of forget that part of pregnancy (not totally, but you'll forget a little).
I'm so excited for you and Rigo! She is gonna be gorgeous!
Check out my blog post on naturally inducing labor (there's a link on this post to another post with a list of techniques, or you can just make these cookies, which I recommend):

It totally worked for me (the cookies), but YOU HAVE TO use FRESH ginger, and a lot of it. Buy some ginger root at the grocery store, peel off the outer part, then chop up at least a tablespoon of it, and throw it in the batter. Silas was born the next day after I had these.
I found a few ways on this website. http://www.givingbirthnaturally.com/natural-ways-to-induce-labor.html
You may not feel it at the moment, but you are a super cute pregnant mama! Any day now!
Part of me is selfishly still hoping that you don't go into labor until after Sunday morning, so you and Rigo can be there for Ashilene's baby blessing. Although it would probably be nice for all the family that is coming out for her blessing to get to stop by and meet Kaylana if she's already made her grand entrance by then, so we'll be happy for you whenever she comes.:)
