So how is everyone?My lil one who is one 
kept me up all night tossing and turning and kicking me in the belly(ouch!) so i finally got her up at 4am and gave her some chamomile and now we are hanging out eating fruit.I guess it doesn't really bother me since sleeping is a pain anyhow.But now it is 6am and i am fading out a bit.
I think i am fairly convinced that this baby has decided not to come out and meet us.I was doing ok for awhile but now i feel pretty discouraged.I mean i am an old pro at this but every single one of my babes has thrown me for a loop as to when they will come.My first child came on her due date.I had a short and quick labor and it was fabulous.I was so lucky to have that first experience.With my second,he came early,at 39 weeks but what a hard pregnancy!The labor was a piece of cake though and the pushing was such a cinch.After having to push for 2 hours with my first this one came out in one simple little push.With my third she was due at the beginning of April and was to be an Aries.I was 4 cm dilated and 90% effaced on her due date.Well when May 1st was looming around the corner i became convinced that this child was going to be the epitome of a Taurus(very stubborn).Finally after 43 weeks of gestation,homeopathics,herbs,accupuncture,sex,EPO, i took the castor oil plunge.She came out within 45 minutes.She was so old looking and dried out and the placenta was falling apart.Why did she not come out earlier?So then my last babe i knew she would come on Feb 22nd.Months before i just knew it.On the night of Feb 22nd i was feeling nothing so off to bed i went only to be woken up by my water breaking!She was born the next morning.She came 2 weeks early.So here i sit at 40 weeks pregnant with my fifth baby and nothing.I have constant contractions but i always have them with my pregnancies.What if he decides to be a Scorpio?Or to go until November?What if i go insane and become that one woman on earth who gestates for the next 50 years of her life?I think perhaps i need more sleep
I have noticed with subsequent babes that you are so busy caring for everyone else that you almost just don't have time to go into labor.Everytime i feel really close i get busy doing bathtimes,reading,making snacks,cleaning the house etc and then i am so exhausted i fall over dead tired.I am caring for 4 children right now.
Ok,so my lil babe in the womb,i am ready and you may come out and bless us with your sweet lil presence.

Try to find some time to nurture yourself...lock your bathroom door & have a long soak in the tub...go for a walk alone...try to connect with the baby & enjoy the last day(s) that you you have being one. 
Calming, centering vibes to you...
And is just so sweet & adorable. We are so blessed to have her. 
Still here...waiting...and waiting...and waiting.
Even my laid back MW called yesterday to make sure baby was still in there, 
: Hmm, then again, maybe that'll be just the thing to get my labor started - no available birth tub!
