Impossible, I know, but in my imagination, it would be a pretty awesome picnic!!

That would be awesome, wouldn't it???

BIG UPDATE 10/21 -- I was wondering how many babies we are still waiting for, and I realized that we had a lot of names in our DDC of people who are not around anymore. So I searched for all of the names on the spreadsheet (this was a good way to occupy myself this morning!), and anyone who hasn't made a post anywhere on MDC in the last 3 months, or who did not respond to the "Roll Call" last month I removed from the list. So from 215 Mamas, we're down to 170. If you are out there lurking and are not listed on the spreadsheet PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I will add you in lickety-split!

Also, doing the searches led me to find a bunch of babies (6) who had already been born but weren't updated here -- they were posted over on the UC forum, or in the September DDC, etc. So I got them all updated here.

85 babies already born!

85 babies still on the inside waiting to come out!

I'm still around, due date was sat. yay

I see myself on the spreadsheet but yes isn't marked for the roll call.

This makes me feel so much better! It seems like EVERYONE has had their babies, but then when I realize we're only 50% there, it seems easier to take! And for some reason, October got well under way in September but there's only a handful of November moms who have had their babies in October so that helps too!

Not sure if I ever got added. I've been posting here and there, but I'm still trying to get the hang of things here.
