10 More Days???

My official due date is August 18. So if this baby stays inside her warm waterbed for that long then I have at least 10 more days left. My OB is out of town this week (he left town on the 6th) and won't be back until the 16th which is when my next appointment is scheduled for. Between now and then we have school packet pick-up (tomorrow). Open House (next Sunday) and then the first day of school the following day.

Symptoms? All I've had is Braxton Hicks Contractions that have at times lasted all day long. They aren't booming and there's no other changes occurring. One thing that is nice though is that I am able to get a lot of sleep between now and when baby makes her entrance. The kids have been able to hang out with Nana and Papa before school starts and Tony has been around a lot.

I'm still working and intend on working full-time until I head to the hospital. Hahahah, since I'm mobile, if I can, maybe I'll continue working through each contraction until I deliver. We'll see on that one though! My manager is predicting that I go into full blown Labor next Sunday at or after Open House. Hee hee, we'll see.

I'm hoping that this baby holds out until my OB is back in town so he can be there for my delivery but then again, I'm getting fairly uncomfortable. I'm torn, if I want to deliver the baby now or wait.
