Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc

Today I went in for my 38 week check up and found out my amniotic fluids are looking a little low. My doctor wants me to come back in this Thursday to check the fluids again. She said if they continue to stay low or drop lower she may go ahead and induce next week. I'm due next Friday, but still the idea of being induced isn't my favorite. Of course I will do whatever is best for the baby, but I'm really hoping he can come "naturally." Everyone I've talked to about being induced says that it makes for a longer, much more challenging delivery. I guess the plus side would be that we could know exactly when he is going to be born. I'm a fan of planning and this would normally be pretty awesome, but still I'm a little worried about the use of drugs to make me go into labor.

During my ultrasound the tech did a 3D view and I was able to see some pretty distinct features. Unfortunately the little guy is smooshed right up against my placenta so his face looked kinda funny, but he looks pretty cute despite being packed in like a sardine. So for now, we wait!
