I guess we will get our next Linus-Watch report tomorrow morning. I wonder how the massage was? How are the ankles? Any sign that Linus is thinking of making an appearance?

Still no labor. Hmph!
The massage was a bit hard for my taste, even though I tend to like it rather deep. Every time I asked her to lay off a little on pressure, she said "don't you want to go into labor?"
Dan drove in to work today (rather than taking the train) just in case. My mom is here and my dad has his suitcase packed. But nothing is happening!!!

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I was amazed to see that this thread started over a week ago! I guess you are even more freakin' pregnant now . I'm sure we'll be hearing some news any day now. The massage lady sounds a little scary!

There seem to be a number of Linus's in mythology and the stories are confusing. Here is a musical Linus:
"Son of Apollo and Terpsichore, he taught music to Orpheus and Herakles. Herakles killed him with Linus's own lyre after he reprimanded Herakles for making errors. According to other sources, he was the son of the muse Kalliope and the inventor of melody and rhythm."
This photo of a vase of some kind isn't very good. Since Herakles was a boy when he killed Linus, I would have thought that Linus was the bearded man. But the bearded man seems to be wielding the lyre which I thought Herakles should be wielding.
Well, the story doesn't have a good ending for Linus, but there is no Herakles now so perhaps your Linus will go on to become a great musician!

Jessie,
We were in the same situation a few years ago. Our midwife advised us to climb the stairs of St Joseph's oratory, just up the street from the birthing centre. The climb is a lot more intimidating than the photo suggests, esp. when you are 41 weeks pregnant.
I think the idea was to get the pelvis moving rather than to seek the intercession of the Oratory's founder, Brother André. At least that's what I gathered from her completely untranslatable instruction to wifey: "Déhanche-toi!" It worked anyway - she went into labour the next morning.
You can go up the central wooden stairs on your knees, if you're so inclined, but that would probably not succeed in "déhanching" you.
