Baby is still incubating

I look like I'm ready to pop, but the baby is not ready to greet the real world yet.
My due date is coming up in 3 days. Yesterday, I naively asked the doctor, "So, is this my last visit to you before the baby comes?" She laughed and said, "No, you will actually be seeing me more if the baby hasn't arrived by Tuesday." She is worried by the low level of amniotic fluid in the placenta. Because it's not producing enough urine, the baby may experience stress. This would be cause for inducing labor. I will go back into doctor's on Monday & she will recheck my amniotic fluid. The levels of amniotic fluid have nothing to do with the amount of my liquid intake. It's just physiological, natural.

Induction may begin on Monday!

Robby & I both wrote letters to the baby yesterday. We exchanged our letters, read them, & discovered that they were very different. Robby's was much more humorous than mine. We got a little teary eyed, then sealed and dated the letter. This baby will be smothered in so much love.

We're still juggling a few possible names. Baby books are an impediment to our brainstorming, actually. We are too unconventional to either choose a traditional name or to choose an exotic cultural name that has no significance to our culture or life journey.
