Nothing. I’ve done nothing this week. No running, no cycling, nothing. The Turtledash is in three months, less that 15 weeks. And I’ve done nothing all week.
Nothing is also what I’ve heard from California. Not particularly worrying* as in inducements can take a while. For those of you who have never been induced it is not the same thing as being in labor. I thought I would be induced with my first son and that he would be born in a matter of minutes…oh not so. I was induced around 7am, and I didn’t even start contracting until about 1pm. Very light contractions, at 3pm Vicki-we-love-her told us we might be going home if nothing picked up.
Finally around 5pm I started serious contractions, Moo wasn’t born until 1am the next morning, but you know…contractions they started at five. It’s hard to jump start the body into labor, something that it’s supposed to start on its own. This is why many woman say inducements are more painful, I wouldn’t know, they had to induce Wah as well, apparently my boys were down with the let’s live here till college plan.
So we wait for news. We aren’t very good at waiting here, so we had some visitors.
And the visitors had visitors. And then the visitors needed a house.
We made some shirts.
Construction of Eva, Wall E and Wall E’s home took up about four hours Saturday…then I cleaned my sewing machine…yeah…still waiting.
*All my RLF just snorted in disbelief because I am totally worried and telling them all about it when they make the mistake of calling, emailing or IM’ng me.

I’ve done LOTS this week. I’ll share
Cute visitors!
I was induced with Soccer Boy. My water broke but contractions stopped. Once they jump started him with the drip he bulldozed outta there in two hours. On a pain scale the contractions started at 9/10 and moved up from there. No time for drugs, the meanies told me. Not pleasant, but we survived.
Little Runner surprised us a little early, but at least she let me have an epidural
Is that new Californian born yet?
I know all about the inducing thing. With #1, my water broke, and nothing. I had to be induced, and the whole process took about 30 hours, start to finish. I was 41.5 weeks pregnant. My second one I did go into labor with, although I was 40 weeks and a couple of days. My third, I was induced at 41 weeks. He had some heart issues, so that was nerve wracking, but he was fine. It took about 22 hours, start to finish. My womb must be the Ritz.
