Trying to go into labor

So, I tried just about everything to go into labor... spicy foods, going for a walk, shampooing carpets, painting, OTHER THINGS - nothing worked. However, it did make for a productive couple weeks. My last attempt to go into labor was to put wood flooring in our kitchen and bathroom. Here are some pics. All the squatting required was certainly not comfortable with a past-due belly - you would think that would initiate labor, but it didn't. Well, at least we got the floor done - I went into labor two days later. Poor Corbyn had to finish up all the final boring stuff (putting in baseboards, caulking, etc.)by himself while I wandered around our house counting the minutes between contractions and praying they would hurry and get to 2-3 minutes so I could go to the hospital and get my dang epidural.

Oh, and the picture of Corbyn with the mask on his face over the toilet: We had to pull up the toilet so we could install the wood floor under it. Corbyn is such a baby about that stuff (yeah, he hasn't changed a diaper yet). He was positive that is was going to stink, so he required a mask and a bunch of towels and blankets that could be thrown away if any toilet water touched them. He was so paranoid about the toilet water... wouldn't touch anything that might be contaminated by it... and then when he sat the toilet down in the garage, a little water spilled out of the toilet onto his shoe. He was SO mad. It was hilarious.
