We've hit 50?!

tmccord21

We've hit 50 "October" babies that have become outside babies. Holy crap.

I'm over here like

MrsKocal

wow, that seems like a lot! 

chelseyestelle

That's crazy! It seems like the number should be higher with all of the birth posts I've read!

beccabrad

What?  That's a lot of overachievers.

jen-and-ryon

Craziness!!

trackgirlparis

Holy crap! Really?! I was just thinking that it seems like SO many have been born, but I didn't realize it was that many!

spanx21

Wowzas!!!

@tmmcord21 -- i think your October SNL siggy gif responds to this insane fact best ...

@brittlentz We have 617 people on the spreadsheet. Obvs a lot of them are not active but they may show up for birth stories. 

So that's about 8% of the babies that were born.  Doesn't seem like that many when we put it that way.

That seems really crazy! I don't think I'm on that spread sheet, but oh well. I have a scheduled csection on oct 9th, hopefully I make it until then. Can believe we have already read so many birth stories for oct do far.

@sarahlapointe I'll add you in. What's your name, age, state, Team color, LO name, FTM/STM?, and EDD?

But when you figure in how many are active compared to how many have had babies, I'm sure the percentage is higher

Wow, and we still have a few days left in this month...bets on how many more there will be??

I say we hit 65 total before 10/1

Wow, you mentioned a while ago that the percentage of early babies statistically would be around that number no? 

I didn't think it was possible and yet here we are.

*crosses legs hard because doc was waaay to excited about my progression at today's appt*

finnybooboo

Wow! Only a few more days left... although I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore, I really want this baby to be an Oct baby!!! Stay in baby!!

Also, the way things are going, there will only be a handful of us left in October. 

Or the November moms will take over the board. I don't plan on going to September if he comes before Tuesday.

Yeah, I'm honestly starting to get overwhelmed seeing all of the birth announcements. I am thrilled so many are having healthy babies, but I still have a couple of weeks left hopefully, and I'm starting to feel like I'm doing something wrong. I dunno, but it's messing with my mind!

I'm totally messed up too. I keep forgetting that I'll only be 36 weeks tomorrow and not already at 40. I'm so thankful for the next couple of weeks, I've got to get a place for this kid to sleep!
