Anyone else looking for "signs"

[MiamiMami]

Today I opened up a carton of milk with expiration date of 8/28 and I was all hmmmm

Am I the only dork that does this?

[Mamatoabunch]

No, totally LOL. I threw away a coupon w/ a 8/1/09 date, I was like good, time IS passing. Bought bread yesterday that had a 8/11 date, thrilled me for some crazy reason.

[lisaloo]

omg yes! I totally do the signs thing about everything lol.
When I first got pregnant I had a "feeling" about Aug 5th as my baby's birthday and THEN I found out about the full moon and on top of that I discovered that it was also my paternal grandfather's birthday (who passed away when I was 12). I thought all this was pretty cool.

Today while at the supermarket I needed milk and the date on it was August 15th...which is my birthday and the date the u/s gave us as an EDD at 18 weeks. The yogurt that I bought had a date of Aug 21. We shall see if its a sign.

[wombatclay]

Oh yes... my calendar is so covered with possible "due dates" based on random signs that I'm sure one of them will be "right"!

Though I remember going through something similar with dd1 and ending up on one of the few days that "wasn't" someone's guess. I was so annoyed (and nothing like being at 42+ weeks to make a mama really annoyed).

DH is doing this... he is convinced the baby is coming on the 9th and sees 9 everywhere

[Jadzia]

My first son was due August 8 and I was thrilled because 8 has been my favorite number forever and I thought how cool it would be to have his birthday be 8/8. I think I became really invested in him coming on the 8th and saw 8s everywhere.
I was so sad when the 8th came and went (he finally was born August 10th.). The funny thing is a few times since then people have asked me his birthday and I have mistakenly said August 8th - my husband had to correct me! haha

This time I am due on August 25th. I must love August babies!

[leighann79]

Not really the same, but I was first hoping for maybe a July 13th baby. Then the baby, my mom and DH would all have a b-day on the 13th (in August, October and November). Then I was hoping the 1st or 2nd of August because DD1 is April 1st and DS is Nov. 2nd. The third would also be cool since we would have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd. LOL
I'm not willing to go until the 15th to match up with DD2.

[moonygoony]

I've been kind of doing the opposite. I look at which days I have things going on or people have birthdays and immediately cross them off as possibilities for having baby. Also days where everyone who will be attending the birth is working. My thoughts are since baby is a Leo, he/she will want all of the attention and won't want anyone to be distracted and will not want to share a birthday.

[MiamiMami]

Haha, I knew I couldn't be the only one:

There are some dates I just like, yk.

[sunshynbaby]

Last week my work's cafeteria monthly taco salad day came one day early, and I was convinced that meant I was giving birth the next day... It didn't happen

[Talula Fairie]

I asked in the psychic thread and she said the 19th. WE SHALL SEE.

I'm starting to feel kind of ok so I am just coasting through the days now. I'm relieved to realize I'm in the home stretch.

I am getting impatient and twitchy, however. Also I've never in my life been in a DDC that had so many births before the month even started.

I keep really thinking Aug 18 has some significance, so we'll see. That would be 5 days early so I'll take it!

You too?



No just kidding! But we seriously need to check in with each other when things start to happen. I'll tell my baby to wait her turn, lol!

[tankgirl136]

I am due the 11th, but am hoping for a multiple or a date ending in three since DH and I have a history of 3's (3rd we started dating, 13th he proposed, 23rd we were married), I thought it would be awesome for us to get another 3. So tomorrow is the first 3, but I don't see it happening.

I do have one person pushing for the 10th, a lot of people pushing for the 13th (August 13th was my BFF's Dad's birthday and he was like a second Dad to me so I would be extra cool with this date), and some for the 15th.

Honestly as long as they come by the 23rd I will be happy since we are hoping for a Leo.

I wish I could get a good sign though so I could prepare, this is one of those few life changing moments you so can't plan EKKKKK!!!

[mama*pisces]

Haha...my milk carton says the 11th on it and that made me stop and think that maybe that will be the day. That's also my friend's birthday, and it's just one of those days that I've had in mind. But I also have like 5 or 6 others, so we'll see.

[mamadelbosque]

I'm really hoping for sometime this week. I'm not due till the 11th, but I'm just bloody sick and tired of prodromal/false labor. WAY bloody sick of it! Its been going for nearly 2 weeks now... and just yeah. I'm really really hoping for sometime this week - the moons getting nice'n full and just... yeah. Seems like tommorrow or tuesday would be PERFECT.

That's funny - I am actually hoping mine will come AFTER the 23rd. My son is a Leo and he loves to be the center of attention - I am worried how I would handle two Leo's .

I was reading that Virgos are supposed to be very easy-going and I think that would be a great complement to my Leo.

(((hugs))) Hope your babe wants to come out sooner rather than later.

Well you are due first so you can go first. Just LMK when you're done and I'll uncross my legs. (we are seeing the same HB MWs)
