Well, our doctor's visits have shown lots of fluid improvement. Kinleigh is still rolling around in there, and for the time being we have to just wait. Our official induction date is January 7th at 6 am. Because I hit 39 weeks next Saturday, they wouldn't induce me a day before, and evidently they don't induce on a weekend. So, yay.
I confess that I am very conflicted emotionally right now. Ever since they brought up the problem with the fluid, I just want her to be born so that I can see her and know that she is okay. I have this huge fear that something is going to go wrong inside of me and I won't have any clue or idea. I was so sure that she was going to come at any time! I got all of my to do list taken care of, and now I have nothing to do but sit around and watch the clock, thinking each little cramp or jab could be a contraction.
I am also nervous about delivering a huge baby. If the estimate is correct, then she probably weighs over 8 lbs by now. I'm 37 weeks 6 days as of right this second, so if she goes all the way then it's likely she could be 10 lbs!!! That is scary, people!
All that to say, the main thing is that she is healthy. I'm trying my best to surrender that whole need to control the situation to God and just let Him take care of my baby girl. She will come when she is ready. I know this. I just can't wait to meet her!!!

Counting Down the Days!!
Dear Kinleigh,
Words cannot express how ready your daddy and I are to meet you. We went and saw you for the last time on Monday when I was 36 weeks along, one week from being full term! They said that your head was measuring almost 40 weeks in size, and that you probably already weigh 7.3 lbs!!! Girl...stop drinking all that fluid! No wonder it feels like I'm carrying a bowling ball inside. It looks as though there is a possibility that we might be meeting you sooner than we thought. The doctor told us that you don't have alot of stuff to swim around in, and that we need to go back on Friday and see if there was an increase. If there isn't, we might be meeting you this weekend. Woah.
Needless to say, things have been pretty crazy around here trying to get ready for your arrival. I stopped working last week, and had to take care of Daddy because he was puking his guts out. Your Memaw came over yesterday and today to help me get your room ready, and we had the house cleaned from top to bottom so that you can come home to a clean house. I know it's silly, but I just want things to be perfect for you. You have no idea how much you already mean to us. You respond to your daddy's voice and start kicking up a storm when he talks to you and puts his hand on my tummy. I can see your elbow, bottom, feet, etc. literally pushing against my stomach. It looks crazy! I want to know everything about you...what you look like, your little personality...I can't wait to hold you and stare into your sweet face. I want you to be as healthy as possible. So, whenever you are ready to come see us, please hurry!!! I love you little girl.
