still standing

stayed home yesterday, or at least, stayed home between the a.m. monitoring and the p.m. check-up. i felt fluish - which is often a sign of the onset of labor...except for me. had the most-intense-so-far contractions all evening and night, intense enough to wake me up all night...but still nothing consistent. dammit.

milo settled in for a long nap yesterday morning, so the non-stress test took longer than usual, and then when he did deign to wake up, he had to show off and do the hula for everyone. no internal yesterday - my ob felt it wouldn't make any difference, as far along as i am, and would only irritate me, so i was spared that indignity for the day.

the peri is going to be the one doing the amnio monday afternoon - and it looks increasingly likely that i'll be going that long, since i'm still here, aren't i? - but everyone feels pretty confident that we'll go right into the induction afterwards. if we don't, they're going to have to sedate me for the next week until the 39w induction is "legal" (as my ob puts it) regardless of the amnio results.

i'm getting in the shower to go to work now. suddenly, three more days of work seems like an insurmountable obstacle.
