No Cael Yet

The midwives pushed his due date back to today, January 22, but he has not shown up yet. We have been to the acupuncturist, massage therapist, midwives, I have taken evening primrose oil, drank raspberry leaf tea, walked, galloped, bounced on the birthing ball and still there is no baby Cael. I had the membrane strip today and will continue to get acupuncture and receive an induction massage Thursday. After that, Monday we will re-sweep the membrane and next Friday the midwives will begin natural induction methods. I suppose he will get here when he gets here. Shawn is encouraging me to be patient and accepting instead of rushing and asking "when will he be here!!" all moments of the day. Thank you all for all of your support, I wish we had a picture for you but we just have our imaginations at this point.
