Walking

Dave and I went on a walk tonight to see if it would put me into labor in the middle of the night. It won't but it was nice to get out for a walk... and everyone at work says they went into labor within a day or two after going for a long walk. Question is what is a long walk? For some it may be a mile, some it may be 10. So I don't know what to gage a "long walk" on but we walked for over and hour and Stella was done about 3 minutes into the walk. Stella is currently passed out by my feet from the exhausting walk. Anyway, after I got home I went online to figure out how far we walked using Google Map Pedometer. You can put in your address and the route you walked by clicking around the neighborhood and the website tells you how far you walked. It think it's a great website, so if you ever bike, run, or walk and wonder how far you went try this link! http://walking.about.com/library/walk/blgooglemap1.htm

Mom and Dad made me walk too far... I am limping because my feet hurt so bad. I have a raw spot on a pad from the long walk!!! I am not used to soooo much exercise!

There are other ways to get that baby out!! Sound enticing...? No I know it doesn't! Poor Stella. But honestly that might be one of the last walks you ever take. At least for 5 years. Just ask Chloe!

Castor oil isn't really enticing at all!!! I would rather go over a week then experience the effects of castor oil! Have I mentioned Chloe also used to get handmade dog biscuits? Poor Chloe!

Try "jogging" around the block. I did that when I was pregnant for Julianne. I thought the dr was serious when he told me to do so. He told me later that he was joking about the "jogging" part. It didn't work anyway but must have given the neighborhood something to laugh/talk about! Get outta there Baby Fletcher!!
