I promise I wasn\u2019t trying to trick anyone into thinking I was in labor, but I slept pretty poorly last night and so posting didn\u2019t happen like usual. Not that I really have much to chat about besides baby girl at this point anyway.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s chat about being 4 days overdue. I <em>reallllllly<\/em> thought last night was the night. Yesterday I went to the chiropractor who told me everything felt loose and good to go. Then I managed 3 miles at the gym, which gave me quite a few funny looks. I got in a nap then picked up eggplant parmesan for dinner. We went to sleep at 10 and I woke up at 11:40pm feeling really uncomfortable and crampy. My excitement soared. I managed to fall back asleep, but woke up every 1.5-2 hours from then on feeling the same way. At 3:45am I moved to the couch, ready to witness these cramps turn into the real deal. I started timing my contractions on my phone app then\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I fell asleep.<\/p>\n<p>I woke up this morning feeling a-ok. What a tease!<\/p>\n<p>In all seriousness, I\u2019m still feeling hopeful. I never had any signs like this with Hailey and with a full moon Wednesday night and a storm front likely to move in on Thursday, I\u2019m hoping some of those old wives tales ring true. I\u2019m also picking up a pineapple today because, well, why not. If it doesn\u2019t help, at least it\u2019s delicious!<\/p>\n<p>For a more real update, I just left the doc. I\u2019m about 70% effaced and 2-3cm dilated. Baby girl feels more engaged, too.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m sitting here getting an oil change for the car. We put in the baby car seat (2 days ago) and I vacuumed my car out yesterday, so now I truly feel like this is the final thing I have left to do.<\/p>\n<p>A little car shop humor\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/overdue.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"overdue\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/overdue_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"overdue\" width=\"580\" height=\"772\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To be continued\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning!
