@@ who's next to deliver?

[awick14]

I have last track of who's where in their pregnancy, so who's next?

bk1?
estrellita?

[bk1]

Me hopefully! I'll be 39 weeks on Monday. Last checked I'm dilated at a 3 and 50% effaced so getting there!

[estrellita]

bk1 is 2 weeks ahead of me, so probably her! I'm not dialated at all but I know that can change fast. No other signs yet though other than some very minor contractions I can't feel, haha.

[MrsAggie]

They're going to deliver...

on the same day!

[estrellita]

Haha that would be fine. I just need to pack my bag and I'm ready! I know he's probably not quite ready yet though. Almost..

[estrellita]

christy082 is between us somewhere too! Was there anyone else I'm forgetting due in Feb?

[christy082]

I'm due 2/15! As of this Wednesday I'm 1 cm, 50% effaced!

[MrsAggie]

3 board babies on the same day!

[awick14]

christy082- for some reason I was thinking that you were at the beginning of March. That's why I started this post so I could get my facts straight.

[tacocat]

Yay, more babies soon!

[krystee]

Can I be fourth? They are talking about inducing at 38-39 weeks due to some risk factors I have, which would be the third week of March.

H cracks me up. He just joined Amazon Mom and he is trying to calculate how many diapers we need. He just texted me, "He'll need upwards of 420 diapers in the first six weeks. Holy moly, that's a lot of sh*t." I am now wondering if he thinks they all contain poop.

[estrellita]

krystee March 19 and 23 are good days (H's birthday and our anniversary)

[krystee]

My H's birthday is the 24th, so he is convinced the baby will be his birthday present!

[estrellita]

Mine is March 1 so mine could share my birthday if he's stubborn, lol. We have so many birthdays between our family and friends from the end of Feb through March that he will probably share with someone!

That's good, now you don't have to buy him anything.

LOL at your H!  My DH did the same thing...and your DH's math is pretty right on.  FWIW, most of the diapers in the beginning do contain poop...it wasn't until the last week or so that C has stopped pooping nearly all.the.time.  Also, we only had like one package (less than 100) newborn diapers because we just assumed he would be more average size.  Yeah, DH had to make a Walmart run while we were in the hospital for newborn diapers.  And he's still in newborn and will be for at least another week if not longer.  Not sure what size you have but you might want to have more newborn than we did just in case (they are good for up to 10 lbs anyways so you'll likely use them).

Lol at least he's getting prepared. My H was so unprepared that he showed up to the hospital with toiletries but no change of clothes. He wore the same clothes for 48 hours. We never took the newborn care class so literally everything was a complete shock to him. The first thing he said to me was, "He has fingernails!!" Lololol.

[krystee]

I was planning to take a newborn care class, but there aren't any on the schedule! Guess we're winging it! Our poor baby.

[pooh8402]

This kind of stuff is why my DH is coming to the newborn care class with me. The one that I teach. At least then he'll sit down and actually listen.

[sarahsas]

I will be shortly after krystee!

I waited too long for the labor class and now mine is pretty late.. March 15.. hope I'm still feeling up to it! I did get into the infant care class though!

bk1 I was just thinking, you're kind of rocking this pregnancy thing. Almost 39 weeks and you're having a yardsale, moving homes, and still fixing things up? I'm impressed. I didn't even make it that far in my pregnancy and I was still mostly on the couch by then. lol.

Thanks! We have been working on things for so long I'm just so anxious to get them done. I have been spending more time on the couch lately. ;-)

[estrellita]

H definitely needed both the child birth and newborn classes because there were things he was totally clueless about, like how a baby sleeps. I was shocked anyone didn't know babies are supposed to be on their backs! He was a little shocked by the diaper number too. Since they typically need to be changed every 2-3 hours or so, it can really add up!
