Our midwife says I'm 4cm dilated and almost 100% effaced. Parker's down even further in my pelvis. So why am I not in labor yet? We don't know.
So, I'm pulling out all the stops. After getting the stress test done (he's still doing great...no worries), I had an appointment with an acupuncturist for a "labor inducing" session. 5 needles and six herbal supplements later, I still am not in labor. It was an interesting experience to say the least. I'm supposed to go back in tomorrow and Friday for more acupuncture if labor hasn't started but it's really expensive so I may just stick with the supplements and see if Parker's just trying to beat out his sister by going 10 days over as opposed to to 9. On my way home from the appointment, I got some eggplant to make a recipe for eggplant parmesan that has been said to induce labor. So hopefully one of these things will work. Even if it ends up only being coincidental, it will make for a good story one day.
We'll see what tomorrow holds. Sorry for those of you who voted for today! (You can cheat too if you want.)

as uncomfortable as you've said that is, the picture is still awfully cute.
