La dee dee, la dee dah. Move along folks. Nothing to see here. No increase in contractions or much of anything else. Although, my back and pelvis have been more sore since yesterday afternoon. Auntie Krystle and I went walking at the mall tonight instead of last night. I was definitely tired when we were done but so far it hasn't jump started anything. I have to brag about Annika for a moment. She was such an angel tonight at the mall. As we walked around she stayed close by Krystle and I. And when we went into the book store, she asked to see the kids books. I took her to the section with all board books. I knew she wouldn't wrinkle any of those pages or rip anything with those books. So she'd pick out a book, flip through it, then return it to it's proper place on the shelf. After a while I told her she could look at two more books and then it was time to go. So she picked two books off the shelf and we read through one of them, then she put them back and walked out of the book store. Sometimes she amazes me with how well she listens!

Annika came down with a cold last night. Her nose started running and overnight she had a slight fever. She seemed fine today except for the constant runny nose. Hmm, full moon, sick sibling and coldest weather of winter so far - perfect time for a baby to come! Come on Baby!

I have a doctor appt tomorrow morning. My midwife is going to be surprised to see me! There are three midwives at my practice that I've been rotating throughout all my appointments. I saw Dawn last week and I'll see her again tomorrow. She wasn't on call this week though, Jennifer was, and I'm sure Dawn thought I'd go some time this week. Surprise! I'll probably be there tomorrow morning! I wonder what else she can do to help get labor started. Maybe she'll strip my membranes a second time. I'll have to ask what other home labor inducing things I should try.
