    Sex with thadeus might give the poor kid brain damage.

    Sex. Orgasm helps and some chemical/substance in the semen is supposed to help thin out the cervix, too.

    Walking. A lot

    A couple old wives tales include primrose oil inside you and eggplant. But eat the eggplant...putting it inside you would just be weird :)

    And early congrats!!

    There's a lot of weird stuff that happens during child birth. I saw things I didn't expect. I just see no need to tell my wife about them. She also made me the coolest little boy in the world, so why embarrass her with all the details.

    Don't think I'm quite that dilated yet. :)

    (thank you... I'll be here all night...)

    Thanks for the advice and suggestions. Still no signs of labor; the official due date is tomorrow anyway, but the last several weeks they weren't thinking I would last this long. My body seems to be getting ready for it very, very slowly. Ugh... hate waiting... will try to walk some more today.

    Embedded video?

    I've seen a few, including my own kid. Looks like a wet St. Bernard coming in through the cat door. Might want to spoiler tag it though.

    While that would be one way to tramatize the entire bbs forever, not gonna happen. Y'all have already had a rough enough weekend - penis amputation and then not-even-spoiler-tagged pictures of poop. I can't imagine my body doing something so gross and apparently my body can't imagine it either, the way it is keeping the kid inside. At this rate I'll be carrying my 18-year-old to look at colleges and he'll still be in my belly. That will not be very comfortable.

    Look at the bright side. At least no lady at Costco will be able to steal your baby.

    My wife was talking to her Doctor where the random conversation came up about seahorses. Then the Dr said did you know that male seahorses give birth. He paused for a moment ...then said, I'm glad I'm not an F'ing seahorse.

    My wife was in labor for 3 days.

    I'm glad I'm not an F'ing seahorse or Isabella.

    ...but it is amazing and I wish you luck and/or congrats.

    And this is why the seahorse is the most awesome animal ever.

    Today was the due date, not that my little guy is paying any attention to that. He seems happy squirming around in the only home he has known in his nine months. Trying everything... well except for

    [​IMG]

    which is what it would probably be if the woman's body has already mostly prepared for labor...

    Time to take more long midnight walks, I guess, though we tried that last night.

    I am of absolutely no assistance here.

    I just want to offer my deepest sympathies for the entire process. We do have it easy.
