This post was created about 30 minutes before my water broke at home last Saturday morning :). Because a trip to the hospital was in order, it was clearly never posted. But I really do think this may have done the trick! It’s funny to read this post, knowing so much was just on the cusp of happening…and at the time I had no idea.
Blog post, typed just hours before Ruby was born, below.?
PS – I am counting this as Days 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 that I missed during labor and recovery. Little Miss Ruby has given me so much to be thankful for in this Month of Thanks, I?believe this is warranted :).
I don’t get them often, but when I do get a massage, I sure do appreciate it :).
Yesterday’s was amazing.
Once I realized that no amount of physical activity, hiking, jumping, or sex (sorry if TMI, but many of you suggested it!) could put me into labor, I decided to take a shot in the other direction with some much-needed “rest and relaxtion”. “Maybe THIS will do it for me,” I thought.
I called our amazing massage therapist and she made it to our home within 3 hours to do the job :). It. Was. The. Most. Amazing. Massage. Ever. Maybe because my body has been in need for so long, or maybe because I was so tired…or maybe because Jenn has magic hands! I don’t know, but I will tell you this…I am SO thankful for yesterday’s massage.
Let’s hope the R&R did the trick! The clock is ticking…no baby yet…

I believe that does work, my son was only a day late, but I had a massage that morning and a couple hours later my water broke.
I thought about you over the weekend and made the comment to a friend that you must have had the baby because I hadn’t seen any post from you or Chris!! I’m so happy for you and your families new blessing!! Congratulations!!
My water broke when I was having sex during my second pregnancy.
Congrats! God knows the best time for our little ones to show their sweet faces!Never rush perfection is what I say! Rest to you all!
Wonderful! Maybe you’re body needed one last stress reducing moment before the big day and stress of labor. I’ll have to remember this if our boy decides to be stubborn. 🙂 Congratulations on the addition to your beautiful family!
