So close, and yet so far
As T walked past me in the waiting room, she made an small gasp and her eyes went wide. She snatched up the magazine on the table with trembling hands. It featured a larger than life image of "Double Berry Pancakes" oozing with fresh fruit, butter and syrup, alluring in a way that only glossy magazine covers can be. Sitting beside me she could hardly contain herself as she turned to the recipe. Then came a cry of outrage and despair- all that remained of p.90-97 were a few ragged edges of paper, the merest hints of long-lost breakfast secrets.
At any rate, a "non-stress test" concluded all is well on the inside, and we got another (grainy and cryptic) peek via ultrasound. Dr. S says if there was an effective natural labor-inducer, he'd be selling it- so the waiting continues. Next checkup is this Friday.
And let us know if you have an intact copy of "Sunset Magazine", Jan. 2005. UPDATE: Found! Thanks LM40s!

As you of course know, sex is the eye-rolling top-of-the-list on natural inducers. Just thought I'd mention...

It says they're 313 calories (per pancake?!?). That might induce right there! :-)
(that Double Berry URL again is)
