  I think it'll hit me this Friday at my 36w appt. We are discussing everything for labor and delivery, just 4 weeks left and so many things going on in between now and my due date, I know it'll fly by!

  I'm due Dec. 1. Had a mini (alright HUGE) freak out this morning when I realized that's only 19 freaking days away. I want to meet the little guy, but maybe if I just cross my legs I can buy some more time...

  I realized today that my due date is in exactly one month. Surprisingly I'm not freaking out. I think maybe I'm still in denial about this whole "reality" thing you speak of.

  The fact we are at 4 weeks or less and that this little guy can decide to come whenever he is ready!!! Kind of freaking me out

  It started to sink in for me a few weeks ago because I was having a really tough time and just wanted baby out but now that I'm getting used to my various ailments and learning how to cope with them its becoming unreal again if that makes sense? I feel like I could go on for a while now.

  @katebusse- I shaved my legs too! I couldn't take it anymore. They were itchy and I didn't like the feeling on the bed sheets/ dress pants in them. Plus I put in a dress the other day!

  I'm totally freaking out but also really excited. Every time baby girl headbutts me in the cervix I expect a waterfall explosion like in the movies, but I realize this is highly unlikely. Less than 3 weeks for me and I found out last week at an ultrasound that she's measuring at 7lbs and I'm already a little dilated. HOLY!

  I still have 7 weeks to my EDD, so I am not feeling the pressure yet.  Seeing all of these babies arriving has helped my non existent nesting instincts kick in.  I actually have accomplished a decent amount of my to do list within the past few days.

  I don't know if we're going to have any December babies at this rate. It looks like we've got a bunch of impatient lo's who want to be November babies.

  I think its gonna hit DH harder than it is hitting me. He keeps saying eh its a few weeks away and then I remind him about my contractions and that it could happen any time and he gets all quiet. But I am right there with you @Herbanmom I am ready for a beer and to meet this kid!

  I keep going back and forth between wanting to have the baby immediately and wanting him to stay inside forever!
  
  As uncomfortable as I am, I know it's so much easier to take care of an inside baby than an outside one!

  I thought I was 33 weeks this week but I'm 34 weeks. That caused me to start freaking out for some reason. 7 weeks left sounded so much longer than 6 weeks!

  I'm with all the PPs who are beyond ready to not be hugely pregnant and uncomfortable anymore, but the whole labor/giving birth thing and being a parent thing is really freaking me out.  Plus I still have about 219854703291 things on my pre-baby to-do list, which does wonders for my anxiety.

  Just had my first cervical check and I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced...35w tomorrow. Which I know means nothing at this point, but once 12/1 (38w) rolls around, I am fine with going anytime! My OB said I "could" go a little early, but my cervix is still fairly thick so not to expect anything anytime soon.

  I know I'm at high risk to go early because of my crazy fluid levels but I hope he stays put. I still feel like there is so much to do!! I can't wait to start reading everyone's stories though.

  Same here! I feel like he is going to come before Dec 1st becuase I am very crampy, pretty sure I lost my plug, and I am 80-90% effaced as of Friday. I was thinking it would be awesome if he came today becuase his birthday would be 11/12/13! I think he needs to bake just a little longer though.

  Ahh 80-90% effaced?! You really could be any day! I had an appointment today and I'm pretty much 0% dilated, 0% effaced. However, she can feel the head, so baby's dropping & I don't want to be lulled into a false sense of security by these 0/0 numbers. The things I have learned from this BMB...
