Late November EDD'ers Come In

Zilly13 · October 2013

My EDD is not until the 22nd, and I feel like I'm practically the only one left around here! Who else has a EDD that's a few weeks off? Anything going on? What's still on your to-do list?

DSMLove · October 2013

I'm also due the 22nd! I still need to install the car seat and have it checked out and I'm hoping to make some more meals to put in the freezer.

Luckysmommy · October 2013

I am due the 18th. She seems to be pretty happy in there, not much going on. I still need to order a couple things and finish cleaning out our master bedroom as I feel like my family will be visiting in here.

Zilly13 · October 2013

I've been having periodic contractions but nothing that's becoming more serious or timeable, so I think I'm in it for the long haul, which is fine since we are moving in 2 weeks! We weren't planning on it, but found a house and things fell into place. So, I keep saying that LO either has to come now or absolutely has to wait until the 22nd or after!

Luckily we didn't prepare a nursery, but I had to repack all the baby items I had unpacked from DD1.

lilybeth12 · October 2013

Im due the 25th, and all bh cntxns aside it doesnt look like she's going anywhere soon. I'm getting the "it's so close yet so far" vibe, so I hear you

TexanArrington · October 2013

I'm due the 17th. Not much going on in the way of progress, just cramps here and there. Everything for baby is finished, just have a hair appt Wednesday and that's it. These last 3 weeks have been SO SLOW!!

vmcovi · October 2013

I'm due the 28th... still working full time over an hour away, moving to a new home on the 15th (so no nesting for me), welcoming a niece (today), still have to install car seat.. luckily in all the mess I have our hospital bags packed

fitmama418 · October 2013

Bringing up the rear her at 11/29 and not a damn thing is going on. That's ok with me though; she can hold off until after next weekend since we close on our house on the 8th (which also happens to be my birthday). I start my weekly appointments tomorrow and I'm oddly excited about it. All of these adorable squishies are making me anxious to meet our little girl.

rbtrumpet · October 2013

I'm due on the 25th! Have had a couple rounds of what might be BH, but nothing substantial. I don't feel like it's <4 weeks away. Having my first internal exam today :-S - maybe...she feels so high, I can't imagine anything is going on yet....

Everyone's having their babies, and I'm all excited about my shower this weekend.

<:-P

My to-do list is HUGE and includes closing out both registries (after my shower) packing the hospital bag, installing the car seat, washing and sorting all her clothes, putting her bed together.....I'm pretty much 100% NOT ready yet!

**Update** Had my appointment. 0% dilated, 0% effacated. Plop me squarely in the "end of November" - honestly I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't make her appearance until Dec!

fluttergirlmoonchild79 · October 2013

Due the 21st - induction on the 14th. Not a damn thing going on over here execept her squishing my innards!

babyphat1102 · October 2013

I'm at the end too, 11/29. Had a few contractions but nothing that has caused any progress. I still have to install the car seat and put together the swing. I'm still working full time, but each day I'm tempted to call in but I want to save my leave for when LO gets here.

Zilly13 · October 2013

Glad to see there are still a bunch of us around! I need something to help me pass the time at work these last few weeks.

LittleNan · October 2013

I'm somewhere in the middle, with the 19th. I'm going to make some more freezer meals this weekend, put in the car seat, have it inspected next week, and go to the hospital tour on Sunday. I've been contracting for months so I don't get excited about them anymore. I'm hoping he'll stay put a little longer, but I'm with @nciesla- seeing all of these babies is making me a little impatient.

kabrissette · October 2013

I'm due 11/30 and I'm a FTM... could be because I don't recognize them, but I don't think I've had so much as one contraction. Baby boy seems very happy to stay put for the time being. I will admit that all the ladies going early inspired me to pack my hospital bag last night though, so that one is off the list!

On my to-do list is to get the car seat installed... keep practicing my hypnobirthing... and possibly look into some chiropractic for these last few weeks since I have issues with my hips. That's about it!

CoIvie · October 2013

I'm due the 23rd and right now I am miserable. Found out Monday I was 3cm dilated and ever since she checked me, I've been having even worse hip pain. No contractions though so they're just telling me to take it easy. Idk how much longer she's going to be an inside baby.

Got the car seat installed yesterday though. Other than that, there was really nothing left for me to do

magfranklin · October 2013

I'm due the 28th, and pretty much ready!

tayrherbst · October 2013

Hey all! I'm new to the group. My original due date was 12/9. But it got changed this week to 11/30! Even though it's only 10 days I feel like it got me jump started to actually maybe get some things done!

Excited that I'm almost in little mans "birth month"

justMaike · October 2013

I'm due the 22nd also ^^' hey we don't have that much longer

dobrydney · October 2013

I'm due 11/26 and I won't have my first internal check until Monday but I don't feel anything going on yet! There are still things I'd "like" to do in the nursery like paint and install a switch (right now the light is a pull cord because we have an old 1860s house). But, everything else is ready even if that doesn't get done. I still have some more clothes to wash. I don't think we have anything major to buy...if we do it has totally slipped my mind. I should probably pack a hospital bag though. I think I'm pushing it off because it's the last thing that makes it all "real", and because we live less than 5 minutes from the hospital so if we didn't have one packed we'd be okay too!

beccaxbooxbear · October 2013

I'm due between the 28th and dec 3rd and ive got nada going on. I can't wait to meet this lo but at the same time im soo not ready. No hospital bag packed yet. Dh isn't done with the basement so my house is still upside down from the construction. Makes me want to just do it myself but I don't think tiling a floor at 35 weeks is smart. I also need dh to build shelves in ds1 New closet so I can put away all his clothes, blankets etc. Then I need to get the house clean again and set up co sleeper. Ugh.

Zilly13 · October 2013

My hospital bag is only half packed. Most of the stuff I'll need to pack I use frequently. We also live 15 minutes from the hospital and DH will be coming home periodically so I'm not as worried about packing everything as I was last time around.

J&JJ2011 · October 2013

My EDD is 11/24, but at my appointment on Tuesday my doc told me the baby is about 10 lbs, 5 ounces and my body is already making decent progress and he basically said the baby could come at any time. On ultrasound I'm measuring 38 weeks, 5 days (as of Tuesday). He said if I could wait until Wednesday (11/5), that'd be good, but all bets are off as to when it's going to actually happen.

JodieArms · October 2013

I'm due 11/29 with a RSC scheduled for 11/25. I haven't done a thing to get ready for LO except some sopping last weekend to get diapers and wipes and a Thanksgiving outfit. I guess I'm not the nesting type cause I never had the urge to do a thing with Ds1 either. Also went to buy my car seat earlier this week only to have the store tell me I would have to order it because they currently only have Purple.
Maybe I will hit the nesting stage next week...maybe

Stefieluvsjavon · October 2013

I'm due on the 27 so I'm with you I feel like I'm having a elephant pregnancy.

lmcgt · October 2013

I'm due 11/19 but all these early babies have kicked me in gear this last week. We have everything pretty much ready to go now. We should find out today what the plan is since LO seems to want to come early (GD and possible Pre-E). I'm hoping my BP stays down enough to keep him in there at least one more week since we just found out my dad may have to have heart bypass surgery on Tuesday. I think we will make it because so far other than random BH nothing seems to be happening on its own.

McJen715 · October 2013

I'm due the 18th. Was dilated to a 2, with a 'extremely soft' cervix yesterday. It made it even more real when I called to tell my H and he asked, 'Weren't you a 2 when we went in after your water broke with DD1?' Yes, yes I was.

My doctor said she thinks it'll be sooner rather than later. She said she could feel her head really 'low' on the internal but didn't give a station.

H is finishing up the nursery today. I have more laundry to do and we should be good.

We are all so close!!

AlisonM12 · October 2013

My EDD is 11/24. I've had bh for awhile now and have had some random actual contractions. My internal was Monday and I'm 1 cm. I feel like she's coming early but we shall see!! On my to do list: assemble mobile and swing (buy batteries!), buy baby book, finish up decorating the nursery which consists of framing some prints, making a canvas print and a shadow box. LO's bag is packed, my bag is packed as far as I can since most of the things I use everyday and DH will probably just grab stuff last minute an throw it in a
bag.

AnsbyGamber · October 2013

I'm due the 29th. I had my first internal check on Monday and I was at 1.5 and 50%, and the dr said she could feel LO's head. She gave us the speech about when we should head to the hospital. I think it finally hit DH how soon she could be here. He turned pale and his jaw didn't come off his chest for a good 5 mins. I also had some BH Monday night that were frequent (but not strong or painful) for almost an hour, so that lit a fire under his butt too. We have knocked off a lot of the to-do list this week with DH kicking into gear. We still need to put up pictures & decorations in the nursery, although her crib is in our bedroom, so it's not particularly pressing that her room be finished by the time she comes. We need to put together her swing and pnp, generally clean house and finish packing the hospital bag. We live 10 mins from the hospital though, so I'll probably end up finishing the bag while we get ready to go to the hospital.

Kaymee · October 2013

Due date is the 23rd, but I'm having a RCS on the 18th. Hoping he stays in until then!!

JaneD112013 · October 2013

I'm due 11/29...LO seems pretty happy in there. I don't think I've had any contractions yet. We still need to get the car seat installed and inspected. I also need to finish packing my hospital bag. Otherwise I think we have everything.

Edvoncupacake · October 2013

I'm due 11/20 and I still have a few things to finish. A couple pictures for LO's wall, install car seats, and a general deep cleaning of our apartment are the only big ones though.

michelleh0385 · October 2013

EDD is 11/29 but having a RCS on 11/15. I need to finish packing the hospital bag but that's about it.

j&rwil · October 2013

I am due 11/19 and no sign of her coming any time soon. I have been having painful contractions here and there but nothing that lasts. A friend of mine was due a few days before me and had her baby last week. I want her to stay in as long as she needs to but all these babies are making me wish she would hurry up and be ready!!

hegriff · October 2013

11/21 here. Was given the 15th possibly, and was measuring a week and a half ahead earlier on in the pregnancy via u/s, then started measuring right on time with belly measurements, and now I'm measuring 2.5 weeks behind on belly measurements. So now all I am is more confused.

They will measure again on Monday, and if its still that far behind ill have an u/s done to check his growth. Other than that I just am running out of room, getting kicked in my gallbladder constantly (which has stones) and some BH.

Don't have our hospital bag packed, don't have the car seat in, and still washing his clothes and putting last minute touches on the nursery.

I did have the urge to shave my legs last night, I was hoping that was some kind of pre labor signal

ballre1 · October 2013

Due 11/21, I have pretty much everything ready so now I just stay home and clean and wait for something to happen. I have pretty strong and frequent BH, but I've been having them ever since I was hospitalized for them around 24 weeks so they don't mean much. At my last appointment my doc said the baby was in position and low, but I wasn't dilated at all. I have GD and my baby is on the bigger side, but "not scary big" according to my doc, so if I have an induction the soonest it would be is November 14th. I'm hoping she comes before then though, because basically my doc said I can't go earlier than that, but due to my small frame the baby would probably still be too big to pass through and I might as well sign up for a C section, which I don't want.

barista411 · October 2013

I'm due the 25th. I have pretty much everything ready. I feel like I am just sitting around waiting and all these babies coming are making me anxious. I've had some strong Braxton Hicks and cramping so my MW checked yesterday. I am 1cm, 70%, very soft, but still a -2. DD was a couple days early so we'll see.

heritten · October 2013

I'm due 11/20. I was born 3 weeks early, also breech like this LO, so in my mind she could come any day now, whereas the babies in my husbands family usually come 1-2 weeks late. But we now know she will be here no later than the 26th (considering I have no indications of anything going on other than baby dropped but no dilation, effacement anything, doctor recommended we schedule a c-section for after her due date since I am not comfortable with making her come out early if she is not ready).

I still need to install car seat, pack hospital bag, finish nursery (glider surprisingly came in a month early, yay!) I finished washing and hanging all the 0-3 month clothing yesterday and bought a new coming home outfit for LO, Turkey onesie....

MannaPants · October 2013

I'm due the 21st. Nothing happening here either. He is big (so am I!) but no contractions to speak of, and no significant waddling, so he's not engaged.
