mymulligan · October 2017

which means we can now say we are due NEXT month! This has made me extremely happy the last couple of days.

Einneh · October 2017

i'm sooooo happy!!!!!!!!! excited!!!!!!!!!!! and just loving itttttttttt!!

fishakris · October 2017

Wahoo! I am actually scheduled for a c-section at the end of October. Starting to get very real!!

MaximumEffort · October 2017

I have 8 more scheduled shifts left over the next 3 weeks.

mymulligan · October 2017

@MaximumEffort that's amazing!

This makes me happy and nervous all at the same time!

curiousfool1 · October 2017

Honestly? It makes me so anxious! (And excited, but this week mostly anxious. It's been a rough work week.) I think, given that I've only been on the job for 10 months, that I've just been pouring myself into work to make sure that the firm is really happy with my contribution so far before I take off for 2 mo.

I've only barely started working on the nursery. At least all the NB and 0-3mo clothes that I currently have are washed and put away. The bassinet is set up in our room, and the car seats are installed. That's about the extent of what we've done. My husband insists on making the crib himself and has not started that.

Back in March when I found out I was pregnant, November seemed so far away! Now it's NEXT MONTH!!!!

littlemissc17 · October 2017

I’m excited and nervous too! I haven’t done much to prep for baby yet, so I need to get it in gear. However, I am very much ready for this pregnancy to be over and meet my baby girl!

kaitlinliz · October 2017

I'm excited and nervous as well. It doesn't feel real that it'll be next month..I have a lot of non baby things that are scheduled this month including a wedding and a 1St birthday (the birthday is 3 hours away!) Neither of which DH is able to go to due to work so I have to pray nothing happens. Terrifies me that we're this close to the end when all this happens. We have a bit to do for baby and cleaning the house too (most of it is stuff that is not mine so I refuse to go through it but DH hasn't even started)

mymulligan · October 2017

@curiousfool1 you're ahead of me! Our nursery isn't set up yet. We have the crib put together but no mattress yet. The bassinet is still in the box. We have our infant car seat out of storage but haven't located the bases yet. I do have the NB and 0-3 clothes washed and put away. Good thing they don't need a lot to start with!

ShortStuff5 · October 2017

Anxious and excited here. This is baby number 2 so I'm nervous to leave our 21 month old she will be 22 months old at time of labor we are extremely attached to each other and we don't have the best option for babysitters for her so I know my mind is going to be how she's doing at home most of the time. Excited for her to meet her baby sister and see the bond they will grow to have. I have all baby clothes washed except for a handful that need stained removed have yet to hang them up because I stay busy with a toddler and honestly I've been in alot of pelvic groin pain so moving is rough and sleeping during the night is hard so I take my opportunity for one nap a day instead of working on baby stuff. Have yet to order the crib but we do have a bassinet and a pack n play she can sleep in if need be. Ready to be not pregnant although I throughly enjoy it I'm ready to be able to move more. Nervous for myself because I will now be a mom of two and doing it on my own as my husband works second shift so he is gone all day at work. Nervous for breastfeeding again because I suffered masitis three times with last breastfeeding. The count down is on ladies wishing you all best wishes for a happy healthy delivery and happy healthy babies!

NYTino24 · October 2017

It's crazy that our early November babies could start arriving in two weeks or so! I hope all of our turkeys are fully cooked when they arrive! All I've been doing in August and September was praying he stayed in there, so I'm now hoping to get to at least 36 weeks.

cwalker042 · October 2017

That's been my prayers too @NYTino24. Each week I say, let's get at least one more week. This is my 3rd pregnancy. I have this intuition that I'm going to go early. My other two stayed until 40 weeks. MFM said they consider 37 weeks full term. Only 4.5 weeks to keep her cooking!

Abby7 · October 2017

This is a big YIKES for me. I want everything to be done and ready so I can enjoy the rest of the wait but of course work has been beyond hectic, like working till 11PM or later many nights the past couple of weeks. I still need to:

buy a new car (need 3 rows)
install car seat (will arrive tomorrow)
return nursery rug I bought from Wayfair that's too big and get new one (need DH's help and he is always too busy)
pick up dresser at BRU and organize clothes
have shower and then buy remaining needed items? (my sister is throwing something together at the last minute so I don't even know what I need to buy at this point)
buy curtains for nursery
buy stroller car seat adapters
finish decorating nursery and organizing clothes once the above is complete

DungeonTrollMel · October 2017

I've started a list of all the things I need to get done and the essentials that I still need to buy depending upon what we get at our shower this weekend.

Our dresser for his room won't be getting here until he arrives so I hate that I can't get all that organized but I can try and have everything else done. I definitely need to stock up on more bottles, wash clothes and prep our cloth diapers

ariasbabyblog · October 2017

We still need to get a booster seat for my oldest so this little girl can have his old convertible seat, I need to get my tubal paperwork signed, and this little girl still needs a name. I'm hoping to have all of this done by the end of October, but I'm scheduled for a c-section on Nov 20th, so I still have a little bit of time if we don't get everything done.

YesOuiCan · October 2017

I am so excited that we're getting closer! My baby shower was this past weekend and we got so many lovely gifts and lots of great advice from friends and family, so we are feeling quite close to ready. We still have things to do, like pick up a few essentials (including newborn-sized diapers!), install car seats, and continue all our labor prep / reading, but it feels like all the major pieces are in place. Also... BRING ON THE COOL WEATHER, OCTOBER!

Furmommy · October 2017

It's crazy to think I could have a baby THIS MONTH! i'll be full term(37 weeks) in a week and a half and that's crazy to think it could really happen any time and baby would do alright. My Dr said as long as it's 35 weeks then it shouldn't have to stay in the hospital longer than what I would have to! So that's a plus that I made that milestone already! Plus I think I lost part of my mucous plug! I start weekly appointments next week! We are team green so I'm actually getting anxious on knowing the sex of the baby! I can't wait! Good luck to all you ladies!

kaitlinliz · October 2017

You all are definitely making me feel better lol! We still need to get the carseat from my SIL. She doesn't seem rushed to get me the seat even tho she came super early with her first (granted they were twins so we assumed they were coming early). And pack our bags. I'm 33w today but this month is so busy I wanna get everything done in case something happens or I run out of time! Good to know I'm not the only one in this boat

elmich3 · October 2017

@Furmommy I'm in the same boat! Due November 2 but have measured big since the beginning. Doctor is good with him coming as soon as this week (36 weeks!) I seriously can't believe it's upon us. Scrambling to set up the nursery and pack our hospital bag! Hoping he holds on for a bit longer as I still have a shower next week! Lol good luck ladies!

MaximumEffort · October 2017

37 weeks for me is the 24th of this month. Last schedule shift at work is the 21st. Baby shower this weekend. My mom is buying the travel system so that's one less thing to worry about.

foxaírt · October 2017

Wha time is flying . Am wrapping up commitments at the dance studio and things are starting to come together for the house. Will be moving soon and we just bought a new (new to us) car
And finally got the car seat .picking up the baby furnature tomorrow so should have the nursery done in a week or two.
My FILs 70th is this weekend and after that I am in the clear for projects . Have one last dance performance next weekend. Still so much to do will start washing nappies this week .. hope that baby doesn't come early or we just won't be ready..

mamioftwo93 · October 2017

SO Glad its October. Exactly 4 weeks & 2 days left until my due date; I can't wait to meet my baby girl

The nursery/house is all set & baby proofed thanks to Husband

. Just have to buy a few more things to prepare her for the cold weather coming. Plus my birthday is In October! *dances* #ScorpioSeason

Airynn Chica · October 2017

I’m loving saying next month but it stilll seems far for me—in a good way! I haven’t even bought the car seat yet—I should do that. All the furniture is still in the basement and I don’t think we’ll bring it up until 2-3weeks prior to the scheduled cs- Nov 16. I know I’m super laid back about the whole tho g. It’s our 3rd and I was like this with the other 2 too. It’s weird I know.

Knottie19640588 · October 2017

DH and I finished setting up the nursery yesterday and I have all the baby's things washed and put away. This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and I'll be making the 6hr drive to my parents place to visit and pick up the rest of our shower gifts, including the stroller and pack and play for baby to sleep in, in our room. Once we have all of that stuff organized and the car seat installed we'll pretty much be all set!! I'm still trying to decide when to start mat leave... I'm thinking maybe one week before the due date so possibly only 6 weeks of work left!! I am beyond excited to meet this little girl

angbaby83 · October 2017

I'm due at the end of November so I keep thinking I have lots of time but it is moving fast. We need to get our dresser still (the first one we got was damaged) but all other furniture is ready to go. My baby shower is pretty late not until the 21st of October so I'm going to have a busy last month. I'm looking forward to these babies joining our lives but hope they stay in as long as they need. Almost there ladies!!

It's October...
