Hi folks! So the due date (yesterday) has come and gone and still no sign of baby : I’m trying to be patient, but it’s hard! The Mr and I just can’t wait to meet her ๐ I think I’m going to head over to Whole Foods and pick up some primrose oil & raspberry leaf tea!

As you all have noticed, I’ve been mainly posting reader finds the last couple of weeks. And I’ll continue to post whatever finds you all write in about ๐ But I’m officially taking my maternity leave now! So those of you who thought I was bad at responding to emails before? There’s no hope for me now ๐ I’ll try to respond to comments & emails when I’m around, but at this point being the ole’ laptop (usually my best friend) is just a big pain in the you know what. So don’t take it personally if I don’t respond to your comments, emails or Facebook posts anytime soon!
I’ll be checking in here and there, so I hopefully you all don’t feel too abandoned!

Best of luck to you with labor and delivery! I was five days late and it was pure torture, but totally worth the wait ๐ They come when they're ready. Take it easy and get a lot of sleep (at least as you can possibly get with a bowling ball rolling around in your belly!)

I was late, too, with both of my little ones. Someone once told me the brownie analogy during my neverending 41st week with baby #2- "You know, sometimes brownies take 41 minutes, other times they take 45 minutes to be done, so it is with pregnancies." I wanted to punch that person (said lovingly).
Best wishes!

Absolutely — take as much time as you three need! You've been an amazing blogger but this little one on the horizon is way more amazing than anything else in the world. Thank you for all that you've added to our lives and I wish you and your family love and goodness to the brim.

Walk, hot sauce, a glass of wine and more walking – it did the trick with both of my kids…within 24 hours.
