Update

Everything is fine.  Have an ultrasound scheduled for Friday and Monday to check amniotic fluid levels and baby's position and heartrate.  Have a check-up next Monday with the midwives.  If no baby by Monday night, induction is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Hearing that an induction has been penciled in made me have a mini breakdown.  Don't want to get to that point.  Every single thing about an induction would go against what I want.  I understand it works beautifully for some women.  But for me, someone who hates anything medical and that's the main reason I'm going naturally, an induction would be a very traumatic and anxiety producing event for me.

Saying prayers that this baby comes as soon as possible, on her own time.

    Well I'm glad everything is looking good!!

    I am sending you "baby come out" vibes hardcore right now. Hopefully I have some sort of mental powers that will really trigger something. If not - I should ask my mom about some weirdo Korean tricks that might work.
