I went to the OB today and all was well....baby is still high, head nowhere near engaged...and I havent really had any contractions...we both seem to think my body just doesnt know how to go into labor on its own (Andrew was induced, Luke was a scheduled section, Isabella was induced and this one is scheduled).

We confirmed my csection date (11-4) and I had asked him about getting out of work for the 31st, to give me the night before the section off. He said he would write me out now if i wanted...tempting...but I want more time after, and I need the pay...plus the longer I am on "active" duty, the better my chances for my monthly bonus...its not much, but every bit helps. I asked for the 29th to be my last night....mom and dad come in from FLA on the 30th and this way I will have those two nights with them, then the weekend and then Monday night before baby comes....So, I have my note for the 30th to begin leave, but he said if I want to change that, just to ask...he will write me out whenever.

Also, I have another NST and belly check on Tuesday...if my BP goes up he wants me out anyway...its not dangeroulsy high or anything, but I usually run really low and its creeping up (140/80) for me. My boss is out til Tuesday night anyway, so I think what I will do is see how my appt goes...if BP is high, I go out next week...or if I am really getting uncomfy and tired, I will ask for the 24th to be my last night...so I either have 5 nights left or 9 nights left of work...

Andrew wants me to stay home now...its weird, he has never been clingy like that, never made a fuss over me going to work at night ...but now he seems to want me around...dh thinks its the baby he wants around, not me ...he is awfully lovey and huggy...he is constantly hugging my belly, telling me its a hug for Mayo (their name for her) not a hug for me....I think I may do some pictures this weekend, of them and the belly ....

anyway...the end is close...13 days til mommy and daddy get here from FLA (cant wait) and 18 days til baby Mayo gets here (anxious and want her here, but more than happy to let her cook some more)....
