Turns out the baby scored a 1.8 on the "readiness" scale. They like to see that number between 2 and 2.5 before they will deliver. She was considered to be borderline, but my doctor didn't want to take any chances by delivering her yet. He was disappointed as well because she should be doing better than that by now. I was also having contractions all day yesterday, but they were about 15 minutes apart and very mild so it didn't concern me. My doctor checked me to see if I was going into labor, but I wasn't.
I have to go back to see him on Friday for an ultrasound to check on the baby, then on Monday I get to have another amniocentesis done! Yes, another one. How did I get so lucky? A week makes a huge difference so he is also scheduling me for a c-section on Tuesday! Of course, it will depend once again on the outcome of the amnio results. Tuesday just happens to be Skylar's birthday! I think that it would be really special if they get to share a birthday. That is something they will always have in common, no matter what.
I am trying not to get my hopes up but at the same time, I need to prepare myself mentally for another c-section! This will be my third and its better to be prepared than not to be, trust me!
I have three other friends that are scheduled to deliver next week as well, so it would be awesome if we all delivered within days of each other!
I am bummed that Skylar has to work on Monday so he won't be able to be with me when I get the amnio done, but my mom is coming instead! Skylar starts his four days off on Tuesday, so it would be perfect if the baby was to come then. I am also hoping that the baby will come Tuesday because my mother in-law will be in town until Wednesday, so she will get to see the baby as well. I think she has yet to see one of her grandkids in person the day they were born.
I am so grateful to all of you for your thoughts and prayers and comments during my emotional time. I have a very good feeling that it will work out wonderfully, no matter when she comes.
Oh yeah, we still need a name. I have written down every name that has been suggested, but if any of you know my husband, you will understand why we don't have a name yet.

I think you should name her Skylar since he doesn't like any other names; maybe he likes his own?j/k
