Thanks for making the Sept. thread!!

Only 65 days until my due date.........!!!!!! 

I'm getting a little impatient to meet my LO! 

[IwannaBanRN]

Still 80 days (or more, if I go overdue) until I get to see mine. It should go more quickly since the days are getting shorter, right?

Is anyone thinking of getting tattooes in honor of their little ones? I really really want to get my kids' birth flowers on the top half of my left shoulder blade.

[TalkToMeNow]

69 days here! I think I'll be a bit late, though. Dd1 was born on her due date and dd2 was 5 days late. 

[Jaimee]

87 for me!  I'm having mixed feelings... I would like the baby to be early instead of late (I really don't want a December baby), but I also would like all the time I can get before a third child is thrown into the mix. 

I met with a homebirth mw today and I think that things will work out pretty well.  She is willing to be very hands off and let dh and I do our thing.  She agreed to check FHT's once when she first arrives and once when my water breaks, and otherwise leave us alone!  Yay!

I'm counting on this one being late, but you never know. I was a day early with #1 and on my due date with #2. Trying to keep a "late" mindset so that maybe he'll come earlier. lol

I would really like to not have a December baby. I already HAVE a December baby, and if I get the kids' birth flowers tattooed on me, I'd have two Poinsetta flowers on me. lol
 

[TalkToMeNow]

I'm due on the 9th and dd2 was born on the 11th. She really wants the baby to be born on her birthday. It's very possible!

[Caracol8]

61 days (9 weeks) to go!

Oh, and I didn't jump on the roster wagon the first couple times around... Caracol8 - Michele, 27, 11/1 with #1

Jaimee - I guess I forgot to add mine earlier - I'm due November 4th, and it's a surprise!  I'm 29 years old and planning a midwife-assisted birth in a birth center.

64 days till my due date, though I have a strong feeling this little one will make an appearance earlier.  I keep thinking late October.  Wishful thinking?  Maybe... but it's a VERY strong feeling.

We'll see!

[Abraisme]

I already have my DS's name tattooed on my back..  I plan on getting my DD's name and this new babies name as well in the future.  Most tattoo artists won't (or don't want to) tattoo a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, so it might be a while before I can get them done (we plan on having at least 1 more baby).  I would really like to have my entire back tattooed and incorperate the new names.  Someday..

I have 82 days until my due date..  :)

My DH's birthday is on Halloween, so he's REALLY hoping baby comes on the that day. He's REALLY set on that

I think a Halloween birthday would be awesome!  I'm secretly hoping for that as well :)

Excuse the picture being blurry, but this is what I would like for the birth flower tattoo, except arranged in a triangle, with the poinsettia on the top, because it's for December, when my oldest was born.

My DH LOVED being a Halloween baby. He said growing up it was so fun! He still loves it  He says it makes him immune to the whole 'black cat cross your path', 'walking under a ladder', etc. And his lucky number is 13 

[birdhappy85]

Jaimee - I never gave you my info to add to the roster either. Here it is!

birdhappy85 - Joanie, 25, due 11/14, baby #1, a girl, planning a water birth at home!

[LunaLady]

I'm not on the list, either 

LunaLady - Christina, 25, due 11/5 with baby #1 - A Boy! - Planning a home waterbirth! 

[LunaLady]

Birdhappy (Joanie) I'm tempted to just completely copy your signature for myself because it describes me to a T! 

ETA: Other than my bundle is  

[birdhappy85]

Wow, I only have 74 days to go! Eeeee I'm so excited! I just started nesting hardcore this week. I never thought I'd see the day... after how low energy I've been throughout this pregnancy. But man you should see me now! Running errands all the time, browsing the internet around the clock to find the best deals on baby necessities, just bought paint for the nursery (30% off sale at Sherwin Williams - WOOHOO! zero-VOC paint ftw), getting my cloth diaper stash ready... I'm loving this newfound energy. I feel pretty dang prepared for this baby to arrive now! I can't wait until our baby shower a month from today. It's going to be so surreal getting that much closer to my due date.

LunaLady - Haha, you just posted that and I just updated my signature! What timing.
