Give me a break!! I went to the Doctor this morning at 9 am in high hopes of being even close to delivering this baby, but NO! The doctor informed me that I am still dialated to a 2 and have not progressed since last week! How is that even possible since I was doing a ton of stuff for the wedding last weekend? This baby just has it's own time table I guess! He said that if I am still prego next week for our next appointment, than we are scheduling an induction on Monday, September 29th which is still forever away in a pregnant ladies mind!
I went to the health store today to get me some blue cohosh (my research has shown that if you take this 4 times a day in capsule form that it will open up the cervix and you will have the baby in 3 days!) but it just was not meant to be because they had just barely run out! Apparently, there are a lot of prego women in September wanting to get their hands on this wierd herb!
I have been having a TON of contractions; it's just that none of them are consistant or regular! Maybe I should name the baby boy Braxton since I am having so many Braxton Hicks Contractions!
This weekend I am going for the next thing-Spicy food! I really want Regan to take me to a Thai place and get some really spicy curry!
Anyway, just wanted to give you the update on this baby of mine that will not come out! I am ready more than I have ever been! I am uncomfortable, I have heartburn, I am so huge, and more than anything, I am just getting antsy for this new little arrival to join our family!
Wish us luck! We are going to the BYU game this weekend-maybe my water will break at the stadium!!!!

When I was pregnant with Oakley, I would do the "Super Star" squats! hahaha...Mostly I did them one night to be funny, but as soon as I stopped, I went into labor!!! It totally worked! So, maybe just run around your house and jump into "super star" position...if you don't know what I'm talking about...give me a call! Good Luck!!!
The one thing I don't agree with you is taht you look huge! I have told you all along that you have looked FANTASTIC! So good luck being patient. I can't wait to hear what your new arrival is? Boy or Girl! If there's a vote...I'm going with Girl...or boy. I'm always wrong...so I guess it might be a boy! Good Luck!
Hey Andrea,
Sounds like we are in the same boat. I'm dilated to a 3 and they have me scheduled to be induced on Monday the 29th. Funny huh! Anyway, hope everything is going well for you!
Ashley
Hey! Hang in there! I walked around for more than a few days dilated to 4 cm w/ Delaney...when you lease expect it, he/she will arrive(in their OWN time, ha!)
Hey! This is Aubrey, Brett's sister-in-law. I just found your blog through Ashley & I wanted to let you know that we have one of your sippy cups. Random, I know. :) I guess Bella borrowed one or something & I found it in our dishwasher the other day. So we'll get that back to you somehow!
Good luck w/ going into labor early! But if you do have your baby on the 29th, s/he will share a birthday with Cohen! :)
Also, I'd love to invite you to my blog, but it's private so I need your email address. Could you send it to byubabe14 at yahoo dot com? Thanks!
Oh, and I forgot to tell you that Cohen keeps asking if he can go play w/ Sunny & Riley again. :)
Hang in there Andrea, you look great for a 9 month pregnant mom. How did the water breaking joke go? Was everyone surprised? I just loved that idea. The wedding was beautiful and Reagan did a great job on the crepes!
Hang in there Andrea! Even though you're totally ready to have this little babe (and I would be too - the very end can be just miserable) you are such a cute pregnant mom! I love the name Crew for a boy, and Elle is such a sweet little girl's name. We wish you the best when the big day finally arrives!:)
My mom's water broke at a BYU game when she was prego!! good luck!!!
Wow, I can't believe you're so close! That is exciting! Good luck with everything!!!! Hope the spicy curry works! ; )
BYU GAME?!!! Are you seriously insane? Wow, I feel like a total whimp. I could NEVER sit on bleachers for an extended period of time right now and I still have 7 weeks to go!
Best wishes...It's right around the corner. Keep us all informed!
