this pregnancy is our second one. having done it once the first time around... i plan on working right up to (or close enough to) the due date. my last day of work would probably be a day or two before the baby comes out. with our first one, i took off 2 weeks before the due date and with the baby being late, it ended up being 3 weeks. that was just way too long to sit around and wait. everyone's different, so i guess it all depends on how you feel. i still feel great, so i really do believe i can hang on until the very end. :)
I am going off if everything goes smoothly just about 37 weeks. I am taking 2 weeks vacation leading in a 12 month maternity leave that will technically start mid october..
i am due october 19
