Fashionably Late

I am now past my due date(s). I feel nothing changing down there. Baby Bear is still moving around but there doesn't seem to be any exit strategy. Tomorrow we'll discuss induction at my OB appointment. I'm completely on the fence about it. I know it carries risks and part of me wants to just hurry up and have my baby in my arms but the other part tells me it's better to wait a little longer and enjoy still having the kicks and other movements all to myself before I have to share my baby with the rest of the world. I just don't know what to do. I was sitting in my arm chair watching tv and looking up pros and cons of induction on my laptop and I got super dizzy, I thought I might faint. So that might have some influence on the induction decision. The other thing is more superficial: I don't really want my baby born in June. Silly, but it's already going to be a Gemini, I'm just not crazy about June, especially since I was all ready for a May baby. I wanted the whole water breaking, timed contraction labor but it looks like my suspicions are going to come true. I figured that since my body didn't understand that Robin was no longer alive and didn't let her go naturally that it wouldn't know what to do with this baby when it was time for the pregnancy to end.
