Another week and no baby

I feel like I've been stood up. Like it's a bad blind date....being told "at the end of 9 months you'll meet this great lil' person...." and now the baby has decided the s/he just isn't interested in showing up.

I was due a week ago. And since last Monday I've been walking like crazy, eating spicy food, pineapple; basically everything but standing on my head. And I WOULD try that too...except I'm not that suave without the belly...wouldn't want to see how it all ends.

Today, Jamie and I went for a long hour walk, and I started having stronger contractions that I couldn't talk through...they lasted like 1 min45 sec. (every 2-3 min) but as soon as i got home....they slowed WAY down. Just thought that I would share some frusteration, since everyone is calling asking me "when are you going to have this baby". i know they are all eager...but I'm all for meeting the Bean too! Promise...i'm not holding this baby hostage, s/he can walk out at any point...infact, I'd encourage him/her to do so...soon!
