Welcome to this week's Chicago Bump Check-in!
If you want to be added to the check-in, please respond to this post and 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).
Also, pregnant ladies: keep me updated if you move from team green to pink or blue! And let us know when your LOs arrive! We have a due date that passed and some coming up soon!
And finally, some shout outs, hugs, etc.:
Also, it looks like a lot of you will be finding out which team you'll be joining soon, should you choose to not be Team Green!
Looks like we have a quite few due dates coming up really soon!! Any signs of labor starting, ladies?

QOTW: Do you (or did you before you had your child(ren) like to read? Is there a book that comes to mind instantly when somebody is looking for a recommendation?
Re: :: Chicago Weekly Check In ::
Still knocked up!
I always recommend Roses by Leila Meacham. It's a great epic novel which reminds me of Gone With the Wind. You can get really into the lives of the characters!
Oh my goodness, yes that is a great book! I loved reading it.
I forget who wrote it, but "My Name is Memory" is a really good book. It's about a man who keeps getting reincarnated and falls in love with the same woman over and over again. He can remember his past lives, but she never does.
Hi all!
I am due October 14th and live in West Town.
The last book I read before I was pregnant was The Help. I loved it!
