Eeek!

[PatchChild]

So the first of the May mamas had her baby today. (Really, not just their little joker) Anyone else terrified by this?

[Jilian]

Yep, I'm getting scared now.

[saratchka]

Oh dear. That's downright scary. I'm really counting on the seven more weeks until my due date (even though I know I shouldn't). I'm just not ready!

[wombatclay]

When was she due? Please tell me May 1st!

Off to lurk the May DDC...

[Ks Mama]

Honestly? Maybe I'm just a weirdo, but I've been telling DH & our doula that I really think DS will be at least a week, if not two early. I'm really shooting for EARLY June. I just feel so big, so tired, and so ready to meet my baby... am I the only one?

[scrappingmom]

scared? no... it gives me hope the end is near!!!!

I"m due the very end of june maybe first of july but doc says i'm going early he thinks...judging on history... Honestly mid june looks wonderful.. as long as its cause baby is ready and not cause of complications

[wendimarie]

Yep my dear friend just had her baby on 4/13 and she was due 5/5. Happy, healthy little girl. I am still in shock that she has already had her baby.

[Iamhappy2BAmom]

I'm pretty excited for the first of our due date club to go. *hopefully not for another month though*.

I took am expecting mine to be early b/c I am HUGE! I get the feeling the doctors thinks so too even if he is not letting telling me. He started me on the visit every two weeks schedule during my 28th week even though the nurse told me before hand he typically doesn't do that till the 32nd week.

So here's hoping DD will stay in there as long as she wants.

Besides- We are still dragging our tushies when it comes to preparing a space and buying stuff- not to mention not having worked on our birth plan yet. We are indeed quite behind.

This constant 3rd trimester exhaustion isn't helping much either. (*sigh*)

[sebarnes]

Oh, my. The other day I had a moment of panicked epiphany when I realized "Oh, crap! I am 'due' in less that ten weeks, and could safely have this baby at home in six weeks!" Now this news just ups my oh crapness! I'm just not mentally prepared!

[willoLevin]

I've got a foot in both camps:

First of all, I have been peeking at May to see when their first baby would arrive. Good for them, being so healthy, that it was this late, huh?

I am more ready for pregnancy to be finished this time (than my first pg.) I'm more tired of being big and waddling and aches. I'm also less afraid of labor, though I'm starting to remember that it was hard... :

But I am also a bit horrified at the thought of all that must be accomplished before this baby arrives! Also, I learned yesterday that Glooby is breech, so I now have the intellectual urge to do all the weird positioning stuff, but I *HATE* doing most of it. :

I am glad I'm due later in June because I can just assume one of you will go first! :

A lady I work with was also due at the end of June and just had her son last week (at 29 weeks). he's only 3lbs 3oz, but is doing well.

I'm ready, but hope all our babes cook a bit longer!

Yowza! Now that's really frightening. Glad to hear the baby is doing well, but yikes! Heck, I'm going to freak out if this baby comes before 37 weeks!

[wombatclay]

37 weeks 37 weeks 37 weeks...we wil all carry our babes for at least 37 weeks!

Now where's the finger crossed/knock on wood smilie?

(of course, I'm still in a bit of a panic since 37 weeks is only 4 weeks away for me!)

eta- the first of the May Babes was due May 6th according to their roll call sticky. I forgot to mention that yesterday even though I went off to look it up!

[Robbins0614]

I'm not prepared yet. . . there's too much left to do before this little one arrives so that does scare me a bit! Although I am determined to make it to June since so many of our friends are sure that we won't (or that we're having twins) since I'm so big!

[MeganW]

Jumping in here....I can't believe I still have 8-9 weeks to go. I feel sooo huge sitting up is an effort everything is ready to go just have to get the car seat out of the attic and write a birth plan...(which I feel like I could do on the way to the hospital if I had to)

[Enchanted Gypsy]

Yes.. I am TERRIFIED ! Shaking in my shoes really, and am due June 1st, so really sometime in May as I see it. I feel prepared with all supplies and such but am dreading the "sensations" of natural birth...

[momtokay]

Sure does make it seem more "real". I don't think I'll go before June, but I guess I can't rule the possibility out. DD2 was due April 11th and came March 20th. This one is due June 14th, but if she's as early as big sister she may still come in May. DD1 was only two weeks early though so if she follows in those footsteps I might still be pg come June. My understanding is that the third baby is the "wild card" so I feel like I need to be prepared to meet her at 36 weeks (May 17th) but equally prepared to hit my due date or even go late. Ugh!!

Congrats to the first May mom though. I hope she and baby are doing well!!! I'm excited to find out who will be the first from our DDC, but I hope it's not until baby is full term!!

[StephNelson]

It makes me shake... I am soooo not ready....
