We're almost there! I keep repeating to myself "just eight more days", but let's face it - I'm hoping it'll be 7 or less.
How are you feeling? What's left to get done on your list, if anything? And remind us all - are you team green, team blue, or team pink... bonus points if you share your name!
My list is done minus the monthly age blocks I'm making tonight. I was going to get them done this weekend, but that didn't happen.
We're team green, so who knows what Bitty is at this point. I'm ready to meet him/her though! We aren't sharing our names IRL, but if Bitty is a boy he'll be Corbin William. If Bitty is a girl she'll be Hadley Jean. Both middle names are family names on both sides of our families, and they're the only names that our families know.

Technically I'm 12/1, but since I'm scheduled for a C-section on 11/14 I'll say I'm a November person.
I'm ready to be done. Only two more weeks of work left but I know they'll be stressful.
We've got most things ready to go - our car seats were the last big thing and we installed those this past weekend. We'll have them checked this week and hopefully all will be good.
We're Team Blue, and right now we're thinking the names will be Henrik Lincoln and Leif Jackson. I'm not 100% on the second one, but I think it's where we'll end up.

Checking in! Due 11/22 team blue.
Eta- Pretty sure we will name him William. I'm feeling great, but am going to the doc weekly now and he does a cervix check every fucking time. It hurts!
We have everything we need for the baby, just working on washing everything, assembling stuff, and organization.
I am due 11/12 and have a scheduled C-section that day. I am hoping to VBAC but need to go into labor on my own before my due date to do so. I'm not a candidate for induction. No pressure.
I am on leave now (and therefore posting more) so most of my to-do list is done. I am going to the car wash tomorrow so my husband can install the infant seat tomorrow night. Other than that, I just want to cook some more and spend some more QT with my toddler while she is an only.
We are really struggling with names and are not sharing them IRL, but boys are narrowed down to Garrett and Eamon and girls are a long list: Neve, Ailish, Moira, Quinn, Kendall. It just keeps going :/
Me! I am team pink and due 11/20. We are keeping the name a secret until she arrives. I have been feeling pretty good. I had an appointment this morning and baby is head down and measuring right on track.
I feel like I have a lot done, but a lot left to do too. We need to install the car seat and I need to pack a hospital bag. I also need to wash some baby clothes and finish organizing and decorating the nursery.

I'm here! Due date is 11/14. Sometime in the next 2 weeks let there be a baby please and thank you Jesus. I'll be 38 weeks on Thursday. Team pink, her name is Aurelia Robin.
I'm getting to that stage of pregnancy where every movement she does makes my belly sore because there's just no more room. My first internal was last week (uh, ow) and I was 1 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Will know more this Thurs at my next appt. She is head down, my dr could feel it when she checked me, which I think is both cool and gross. lol.
I think we are pretty much done with all the Things, like car seat checks, her room, clothes washed, bag packed. Just trying to plod through hopefully 2 more weeks of work so I can get paid for them and then start this crazy journey called parenting. Hold me.

Feeling great! My c-section is scheduled for 11/12/13. I figured if I get to choose his birth date, I'll make it a fun one
Anxious that some of my projects are done yet (hello, closet clutter), but otherwise very excited for the little dude to arrive.
We've known we're having a boy since 12 weeks. We also have an exact date and time for his delivery. The name is one thing we're holding onto as a surprise for everyone.
I am due 11/23 with a little boy! We are very excited! No name yet but we are working on it. I think reality is setting in with my husband, that this could happen really any time. The car seat is in the car and we went out and bought the remaining items off of the registry that we think we need.

I am very jealous of your 11/12/13 date! I have been hoping for our baby to be born this day since I found out I was pregnant. I know she will come when she is ready, but what a fun birth date!

This is totally irrational, and I blame PP hormones, but I am a little jealous of y'all who are still pregnant. I would be almost 36 weeks, and I'm a little nostalgic for it. I actually really liked being pregnant (sans the first trimester).

I can totally imagine Mel. I can't believe how hard it's got to be for you. Today is my EDD and I've been an emotional wreck all day. I really loved being pregnant and would've loved to have make it until AT LEAST my EDD.
I keep telling myself that having a cute healthy happy baby is way way more important, but I totally get the feeling of wishing I was still pregnant.

Sent from my Xperia Z, please don't mind typos!
Ok, thanks for making me feel a little less crazy!
I was due 10/27 and still no baby so it may become a November baby, does that count? I'm so tired of being pregnant, I know the end is near but I'm just so tired, uncomfortable, annoyed with the constant phone calls asking if baby is here (Seriously, I'll let you know!!).
We are team pink and chose to name her Elena (no middle name, it was hard enough agreeing on this one!)

I still have 2 weeks to go and I'm already mourning the fact that this might be the last time I'm pregnant. I love being pregnant. I can imagine how you feel considering your pregnancy was cut short unexpectantly.

This is my biggest struggle right now. Today would have been my due date. I am insanely jealous of people who are anxiously awaiting their bundle of joy with so much excitement and anticipation. It's so weird. The grass is always greener on the other side I guess.

This is my due date and my scheduled C-section date. I have to admit that while it would be really cool, I'd rather see this baby sooner!
My midwife tried to strip my membranes for me today but couldn't because I am closed high and tight. This after going into labor at 34 weeks last time and taking all kinds of precautions and injections to prevent preterm labor this time :/
