I've done research. Indeed. I'm trying to figure out how to get this baby out when I want her out, not when she's ready. I've gone to 100s of web sites...and here's what I've come up with...
1 - nothing you can say or do will coach the baby out, she'll come when she comes.
2 - eat pineapple (two days of eating pineapple, and one cracked tongue later, nope, doesn't work)
3 - "Cuddle" with the sperm provider...uh - yah BTDT, it's all part of an elaborate plot to get the poor deprived father of the baby in as much as he can before he goes into famine mode...
4 - long walks on the beach at sunset - okay - not necessarily on the beach or at sunset, but long walks. Yah - RIGHT - in the last 3 days, I've gone 13 miles...don't know how much longer it needs to be, but I'm not doing that any more. It's just getting to warm outside.
5 - Like trying to get pregnant - if you just forget about it, it will happen....yah, try forgetting about a boxing match when your bladder's involved...I double dog dare ya!
6 - Jump on a trampoline - (don't get me started on THAT one!)
So - what I've decided to do to help coax this little one out is the following.
1 - sit down and watch TV.
2 - occasionally get up to piddle.
3 - walk in a circle wondering if I should clean or do laundry.
4 - call husband at work and complain about still being pregnant
5 - tell kids that baby won't come out until they have clean rooms
6 - fold clothes
7 - make baby blanket.
So I figure since I've tried the first part to no avail - all the "professional" and experienced people who post on the web - no offense, but you web page guys are RIDICULOUS!!
All I have left is to make the baby blanket - I am going to do that right now - so expect me to be laboring with diligence in the next few hours...I'm almost done w/ the blanket...I'll edit to post a picture!

LOL! Good luck! YOu can do it. (tried the castor oil thing?)
Ummmmm are you making a crochet blanket for your baby being born in ARIZONA? Rofl!!! I hope when it's done, she'll see you're all prepared and make her grand entrance.
I STILL say that you've scared the poor little girl and she's burrowing in forever! ;) Have you tried tempting her out w/ caramels and chocolate?
Good luck. I can't wait to hear the details of Billy Marie Jom Bob Tess's arrival !
Yeah, all of those things work IF the baby is truly ready to come, if not it doesn't work! Forgot to tell ya that!!
Enjoy it especially because this is your last little caboose!! Just think, you will never be 9 months pregnant again!!
Hang in there, I know it's miserable! Just be glad you're due in March and not in July! :)
You don't know what I would have given to be in your situation. Everyday I would say to myself, "one more day, keep the babies in one more day". I thought I could at least-AT LEAST make it to 30 weeks, and when it didn't happen I felt very defeated. So I'm so happy for you! Oh, and P.S. I tried to email you the picture, I'm going to keep working on it. I got a new scanner and it doesn't seem to be working. The picture was taken from an old fashion film camera by a friend. You'll get it as soon as I figure this scanner out, but I'm warning you, it is a VERY TOP SECRET picture, and you may become ill.
I keep coming back to read the news of the arrival.....
