Campus at night
We’ve officially hit the due date, even though Poohpah had convinced himself the baby was due on Tuesday. Not much happening. I woke up with contractions Wednesday, but they went away after an hour or so. We went for a long walk on campus last night, and I woke up with contractions again, but still nothing.

Insert watermelon smuggling joke here
Statistics say 85% of babies don’t come on their due date, but if I haven’t gone into labor by Tuesday, they’re planning an induction. I’d like to avoid that if possible, having done it once before. Any suggestions (besides castor oil)? I refuse to ingest anything that’s going to make me sick. Labor is difficult enough.
Evening primrose oil (1 or 2 capsules inserted) – it softens the cervix. Why do they want an induction so soon after due date. Email me.
