Final update on my citizenship saga:
today I received a notification from USCIS stating that I was awarded US citizenship. I had my citizenship interview on August 14, and at that time the officer told me that she couldn't make a decision on the spot, like they usually do, because she needed to double-check with a supervisor regarding the continuity of residence requirement that I violated, but for which I knew I qualify for the exceptions. The officer told me to wait one week for the notification. It took a month and a half, but all ended well, and on October 9 I will have my citizenship ceremony.
I would like to thank the few users who supported me in this thread, and specifically ponyo-rocks and LTTN and the moderators for keeping this thread open in spite of the specific request to close it made by a couple of users.

Today I went to the Oakland Park (Florida) field office for my citizenship interview. A security guard at the entrance told me that the office was closed due to sanitation. Then another 6-7 people arrived for their interview, and at that point an immigration officer showed up at the door saying that the office was closed and that, verbating, "we should read between the lines", whatever that means.
I haven't received any notification from USCIS nor there was any sign posted on the door about this "sanitation" which entailed sudden closing of the whole building and who knows how many people left stranded with their citizenship interviews. 
As we all walked away somebody was speculating that the "read between the lines" that the officer was talking about is a diabolic conspiracy theory which entails president Trump stalling the immigration process of thousands of people in fear that these people will vote democrat at the upcoming presidential elections to spite the current president because of his known anti-immigrant stance.

I can share my experience, though not your situation exactly.
 
I stayed abroad while pregnant for a period of 8.5 months and returned to the US with my baby and my green card (no visa for baby). My baby got GC at POE and no questions were asked - had REP previously, but it had expired. The 8 months was part of a longer trip outside the country (overall planned absence was ~2 years, I had re-entry permit for my first return to the US while 7 months pregnant. I had no job and insurance, so having the baby in the US for citizenship was out of the question. So, I went back to have baby. If I were not pregnant, I would have returned within the 2 years of my re-entry permit. 
 
I broke continuous residence for sure - so only applied for N-400 benefit after my lengthy absence was completely out of 5 years. But my guess is, if you meet physical presence, did not take up employment abroad and have appropriate medical evidence, you can make a rebuttal for break in CR due to 8 month absence. IO may accept.
 
Absence of 1+ years without Re-entry permit implies abandonment of GC. Absence of 6+ months invites scrutiny, but abandonment is not presumed. Especially since you'll come back with a newborn, your medical evidence may bring some relief. Few people travel with a very very small baby.  Also you have a USC spouse, USC baby, a house etc and you are doing this for the first time (I hope). 
 
Even if they want to, the way to take away your GC is to make you appear in front of an IJ, not by taking away your GC at airport, unless you specifically sign a document to give it away. Lets say you are abroad, 8 months pregnant and your absence is nearing 6 months, its unrealistic to make a trip at that time (there are always exceptions). People usually end up having the baby and returning when the mom and baby are healthy enough.
