48 hours and counting

Justin and I made Scalini's Eggplant Parmigiana tonight to try and induce labor. I found the recipe on a link sent to me via one of you helpful bloggies :) (http://www.scalinis.com/Bambino.htm)



They say that more than 300 women have given birth within 48 hours of eating this. Considering I've taken 14 herbal supplement capsules at 3 different times today, in addition to drinking herbal teas and getting acupuncture, we figured this couldn't hurt our chances. If I do go into labor in the next 48 hours we won't know what to attribute it to (probably Parker just deciding to come out), but at least I can say that I've tried this. We've gotten a lot of unsolicited suggestions from neighbors, checkout people, strangers, etc. around town, some of which we've already tried and others that are only explainable as being coincidental. I'm not interested in mowing the yard (it's a high in the 40s), hiking a mountain (I can barely put on my pants), or starving myself (how would I then have any energy to push). But eggplant parmigiana...now that's something I can live with! It's actually so good that we've decided to put it in the ol' recipe box. Don't you wish you could have had dinner with us tonight?

So here's to those of you who voted for Friday or Saturday! I'll eat leftovers for lunch tomorrow just to be on the safe side :)
