Ack! I'm a day late! I had this all typed up and ready to go on Tuesday evening, but was traveling yesterday. When I saw how many new responses there were, I knew I wouldn't be able to get this done until today.
I'm doing this from a laptop at my friend's house in FL where we're celebrating the New Year, so if I've made mistakes, was too detailed, was not detailed enough, please let me know and I'll fix it!
If you want to be added to the check-in, let me know what brings you to the bump (Do you have a DC? DD or DS? Date of DC's birthday? Are you pregnant (how far along) or TTC?), whether you live in the city or burbs (give me a direction: N, NW, W, SW, S). Here we go!

Re: :::Chicago Bump Check-in:::
HI!
Checking in late
DD due 2/5/11, from the southside of chicago, Bridgeport
Hi
I'd like to join you guys..
had DS on 7-20-10 6 weeks early due to pre-e...he is our first..might try again summer of 2011..
I live on the southside...Tinley Park
I'd like to join too!
I had DD on 7/23/2010 and she is our first. I live in the South Loop.
Happy new year!
First, yes, you have DD's birthday and my EDD correct.
As for New Years, our big plans include staying in and going to sleep by 10:00! I got to see the New Year kick off in Australia on TV this morning, so I'm content.
Hi Everyone!
Lady3057, i'm doing good so far. our next checkup is Jan 5.
have a great new years everyone!
Yep, my info is correct!
As for NYE plans....I plan to enjoy dinner and go to bed! HA HA. My babies have started consistently sleeping 10-12 hours a night, so I an FINALLY get some sleep that is not broken. I can't wait.
Happy New Year!
Kme930, again thanks for doing this, especially while traveling. My information is correct.
QOTD: We're staying in, may get take-out and will have some champagne when DS goes to sleep (if we make it to midnight).
Happy New Year Everyone! A shout-out to to the NW burbs bumbies :-) TMDMJAOCT07, calex33, DTNZ4Ever,
Our plans sound like everyone else's - staying in and going to bed early!
There were a lot of us due in April! Crazy baby boom going on.
We're going to friends' house for dinner and drinks... should be sort of low key and fun. Happy New Year everyone!
I know I'm checking in late.
My EDD is 9/2/11. It's our first. I live in Schaumburg.
QOTD: We are staying in tonight. Happy New Year!
New to this and still trying to figure out all the acronyms ect. ?My EDD is 7/10/11. ?I live in Streamwood. ?
?
QOTD: ?We went to the in-laws and played cards but I was ready to head to bed by 11. ?Hope all had a good evening. ?Happy 2011.?
Happy 2011 everyone! Hope all of you had a wonderful last day of 2010 and happy new year.
Our New Year plans were very low key, we had steak for dinner and drank champagne, visited my sister (she lives a block away), and put DS to bed at his normal 7:30 bedtime. After that we watched a movie, and went to sleep shortly after midnight! Quite different from the lives we used to lead on NYE, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It was perfect!
I've been away from my computer the past week thanks to holiday traveling but I'd like to join in on this. I live on the North side of the city in Evanston. My DS was born 11/11/2010 so he's just a little over 7 wks now. Life has been a bit hectic the past two months but I wouldn't have it any other way.
For NYE we all went to Brookfield Zoo for the holiday lights (we have a membership there) and then were home relaxing by 9pm. I didn't go to sleep until 2am but that's because of a colicky baby not because I was doing anything fun.
New Year's Day was very boring for us, as we were catching up on much needed rest!
This year, I hope for our life to level out and to make our new city home! I also hope to make big strides in growing our family!
Hi! Thanks for putting this together!! My info is correct!
QOTD: (a little late) we didn't do anything, and it was perfect! DD went to bed at 730, dh and I bowled a few games on the wii and watched the ball drop in NYC, went to bed right after. If people wouldn't have been blowing off fireworks at midnight, I would have missed it here, which would have been fine!
1st time posting here (I think)! You are right about all the April due dates...I'm going to add one more to the list too
We all must have been pretty busy in July 
Plans for the new year are to get our extra bedroom turned into a nursery!
Happy 2011 everyone!!!
mmks, LO due 4/21/11 Wrigleyville
Hey, everyone!
My info is correct! :-) Happy New Year to everyone as well.
Sorry for the late check in, we spent the evening with some friends and their families, so it was nice and relaxing. Then around 1:30 we came home and went straight to bed. haha.
My DD was born on 07/06/08. We live in Logan Square.
Sorry for the belated check-in! My EDD is 9/1, this will be our first and we live in Lincoln Park.
QOTD: We went to my best friends house for the evening for fondue. Kind of weird to be the only sober one, but it was fun laughing at the drunken idiots
Pregnant with our first, due 7/8/11. Far NW burbs.
We visited some friends in Michigan for the new year, it was a lot of fun!
Hi! Please add me to the check in!
I am Lisa. I am 25 and married. We have a DS who just turned one on NYE! We live on the north west side. Our plans for the New Year are to TTC #2!
I'd love to be added!
I'm Melissa - 26 and married. I'm pregnant with our first, due May 11th. For the New Year we stayed home and ordered Giordanos, I was proud of myself for making it to midnight, though the local Chicago New Years coverage was pretty pathetic if you ask me!!
Hi! I'm a little late, but I'd like to be added to the check-in.
My name is Kristen and I'm 24yrs old. DS is our first and he is 11wks as of Monday. I was a lurker for the majority of my pregnancy, but I'd like to be more active now. We live in Albany park and my plan for the year is to get in touch with my domestic side.
Hello Ladies!
Can you please add me? I haven't been on the bump for a while.
EDD 7/7/11, NW suburbs
