39 weeks 6 days

Tomorrow is my due date! I can't believe it came so fast, and I can't believe how long it's taken to get here. Yes, I know that's contradictory.
I've been having contractions off and on for about a week now. Twice they've gotten to be about 8 minutes apart and I *thought* it was the real thing. Now, I'm just chilled out. It'll happen when it happens, and in the meantime, I still get to have Noah all to myself for a few more days.

I have a doctor's appt on Friday, and they said if he hasn't come by then they'd like to talk induction. So, there's a good chance he'll be here by the end of the month either way. I have a feeling he'll come on his own without induction, but that could be wishful thinking on my part.

Today was *probably* my last day at work. I say probably b/c if I haven't had him by Sunday, I'll probably go back to work. I'd rather wait to start my leave until he comes so I don't miss any time with Noah. But, I told my supervisor I was waiting until Friday after my appt to make a final decision. If they decide to induce early next week, I'll just take the few days by myself to rest. If they decide not to induce and there's a possibility I can go 2 weeks past my due date, then I'll keep working. I still feel really good, I'm just really swollen.

Joe is making dinner for me now, then we'll watch American Idol Results and settle back to see what/if anything happens tonight. I'm having some contractions but they're not regular and they're only mildly uncomfortable right now. I think it would be pretty neat if I had him on my actual due date- that's not very common.
