We meet with the perinatologist (maternal fetal medicine specialist)up here. She is a direct referral from my doctor in Charlotte. In fact, my Charlotte doctor trained her so I know I'll be in good hands.
We talked through my chart and she told me there was no way she would let me carry this baby to 40 weeks. She said 39 is the absolute latest she'll let him hibernate. That is a little disappointing because I was really hoping to go full term selfishly so I can get paid maternity leave.
My official start date at work is March 11 since I worked as a contractor for four months prior. So, the closer to my anniversary date that I can deliver, the more likely I'll be to get paid leave.

Oh well, our health is more important than money....
They ended up doing an ultrasound! It was great to see him but always scary. The doctor said he still looks great and he's in the 54th percentile for weight. Perfect! There's a high risk for diabetics to deliver big babies so we definitely want to keep his weight (and mine!) down.
Aubrey worked from home the rest of the day and spent the afternoon on the phone with work and doing stuff around the house since he leaves for Arkansas for a duck hunting trip at 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning. 
At least he brings Molly home next week when he returns!!
Tuesday, December 6
I've been running water tests all day.
I filled a large white mixing bowl with kitchen water. Looks good.
I ran an empty load in the washing machine to clear out the pipes and then ran a load of white cleaning towels (NOT the ones we use in the bathrooms). Looks good.
So, maybe the water situation is fixed?
The cable guy is here now drilling cable lines into the den and basement/media room.
We still have no ice and there's a hole in the guest room.
Baby steps.
