Plan B

I had yet another appointment with Mari this morning and still nothing!! I guess Alex has decided to be rebellious and make his own schedule as opposed to conforming to the one we have already made. Mom says that we need to get used to that. Due to the lack of progress, Mari reluctantly suggested that we not try to induce on Saturday, for fear that forcing our headstrong child to come out before he is ready could lead to a longer than necessary labor and/or the need to resort to a Cesarean. Which is totally cool by me. Concluding this wonderful pregnancy with a traumatic delivery experience is something I would prefer to avoid, and as such, I am content to alter my plans (and everyone else's) to do so. Besides, that just means I have more time to lay around by the pool!

The revised gameplan is for Timothy to come home Thursday evening so that he can take advantage of a very important career opportunity (aka a very important firm sponsored golf tournament). Then, we will kick the "natural" induction plan into high gear and do what we can - within reason- to persuade this baby to join us, e.g. walking, eating spicy foods, pedicures, etc. Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions (old wives' tales included)...
