41X4

It's been 40 Weeks and 4 Days and I'm still pregnant. I feel like I'm a 41X4 whatever that means. I'm beginning to think this is real life and Alex is going to be inside my stomach forever. Since my Doctors appointment last week I've tried every home remedy you can think of to go into labor. I've taken Blue and Black Cohosh everyday. I've mixed it with Raspberry tea which we read on a few websites. I drank 2 Tbsp. of Castor Oil on Sunday and it was awful. The warnings aren't lying when it says laxative (gross I know). I ate a huge bag of spicy fruit on Friday and now I'm going to try these Spicy Cheetos which are sooooo HOT!! Today I walked 4 miles with Al and I thought I was going to die. My hands swelled up so much they looked like the Hamburger Helper Hand. I "borrowed" this exercise ball from our fitness center. I've been bouncing on it while I watch TV and while Al isn't using it as a foot rest. I've read and heard so many random things and don't really believe any of them at this point. Our Doctor said all that really works is sex and walking which I won't get into, but lets just say it hasn't worked.
I've come to conclusion that babies come when they are ready and all this other stuff is a HOAX!!
