Erin is now scheduled to be induced on Monday evening, Nov. 12, if labor has not begun before then. After reviewing ultrasound results at our appointment this past Wed., the doctor said the amniotic fluid levels were fairly low suggesting that the placenta is fully mature and that the baby needs to be born sooner rather than later. Erin has been experiencing more frequent "mini-contractions" every day. Her doctor said the cervix is soft, she is 1.5cm dilated and could go into labor at any time. We are praying that Erin will go into labor naturally before Monday evening. We have been practicing breathing and relaxation techniques, and Erin would prefer not to be administered any drugs if possible (an epidural would be more likely if she were induced).
Below are screen captures from Erin's last ultrasound this past Wednesday. Little miss Polderman is estimated to be about 6 lbs 13 ounces.

Nathan and Erin,
I am so glad that y'all have a blog, and we are so thrilled that your daughter will Lord-willing arrive soon! We think of you often and miss you much. I hope that we can meet your baby girl at some point: I am sure that she and Annabelle would be friends!
Will look forward to updates!
