Seeing as we were over a week late, we were getting to the point where we were trying any crazy old wives tale to get the labor started. Danielle had been doing an excellent job of going on long walks for several weeks, which was the most normal of induction ideas. Other ideas attempted include: walking with one foot on the curb and one foot off; spicy food(tried multiple times, including indian), and...... castor oil. Yes, castor oil. Danielle seemed to be starting to get some contractions on Sat, but then on Sunday morning had nothing goin on. So, since it was my birthday, she agreed to try a shot of castor oil(which was hyped by my sister, who had used it before). One pic is of the castor oil/OJ shot mix, which actually didn't mix at all and ended up looking like an egg in a glass, the OJ being the yolk. The other pic is of Danielle's obvious excitement. Contractions started ~4 hrs later, so, who knows?
