Today I've officially hit the statistically normal length of a first pregnancy. I'm still feeling good and staying active, but I'm ready to meet this baby!
Here's a list of things I've been told will kick-start labor:
eggplant
spicy food
sex
walking up and down stairs (for hours, if necessary)
sprints
power hikes
eating a whole pineapple
swallowing things that will make you sick (castor oil, raw eggs...)
a good storm
Heard of any others? Not that I'm willing to be a guinea pig.
The adventures of Fausto & Enrique
Emil Enrique
Baby Enrique was born on October 13, 2011 at 4:03 p.m., weighing 4 lbs 7 oz and measuring a tiny 17.5 inches. He was named for Teresa's paternal grandfather, Urho Emil and her favorite uncle, the late tío Enrique. In the tradition of all our kids, he goes by his middle name.
Enrique arrived via c-section 3 weeks ahead of schedule after a routine ultrasound found no amniotic fluid and growth restriction that had him measuring more like a 33-week-old.

Fausto
Baby Fausto was born on May 20, 2008 at 4:08 p.m., weighing 6 lbs 12 oz and measuring a lanky 21.5 inches. He was named for a dear friend of his daddy's, the late Fausto Alegado. Coincidentally he also shares a name with the great Italian cyclist, Fausto Coppi, il campionissimo. Incidentally, this old Latin name means "fortunate one."
