We need a baby pool!

So I'm "officially" due on September 25. However the due date is just an estimate and you can go into labor any time two weeks before or after and be considered within the normal range. Given that that is an entire MONTH of range, that means it could be any time between Sept 11 (let's hope not) and October 9 (I really hope it's not that long!!).

Guesses anyone?

I'm going to guess Sept 18. I would be totally fine going into labor any time after 2 weeks from now though lol! I feel HUUUUGE!

My baby's 17th birthday will be September 24. So I'm rootin' for the 24th!!! (BTW, I was 3 weeks over, but most docs don't let that happen anymore, babies get too big, end up with a c-sect, so don't worry...docs avoid c-sects like the plague if they can)

A Sept baby is a great thing! By Christmas everything is back under control, sleep should be normalizing, and you will have so much fun. And by next summer you guys will have the best time doing things together. Still young enough to be an easy traveler but old enough to have a predictable routine.

Keep us posted!!!

My Bday is on the 24th too!

So thats my guess

My son's 9th birthday is Sept 20th, and our friend's little boy was born the same day last year, so I am gonna say Sept 20th.

Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy. I definitely remember counting down the days being pregnant in the summer heat!

Random guess for me. September 22.

LeRoymydog · 08-21-2008, 04:13 PM

My son's birthday is Sept 25 and my anniversary is Oct. 9... but my guess is Sept. 29.

I had my first on September 20, 1997....and he is the most wonderful, smartest, cutest, wittiest boy on earth! Hope yours is born on that day!

Ha... I thought you actually needed a baby pool, like so your dog can swim in it.

Annamarie · 08-23-2008, 12:03 AM

lol... got one of those last year, but the dog didn't use it very often!

Annamarie · 09-19-2008, 11:36 AM

aw man.... the 18th came and went and no stork stopped at my house. Hopefully the 20th??

jbray01 · 09-19-2008, 02:19 PM

sillylilykitty · 09-21-2008, 02:04 AM

I hope to not curse you, BUT...

One of the girls at work was 3 WEEKS LATE.... They didn't even enduce her until the start of the 4th week.

8lb 11oz baby...

good luck!

Annamarie · 09-21-2008, 08:23 PM

well the midwife won't allow me to go more than 2 weeks overdue so at least there's that

Annamarie · 09-23-2008, 10:51 PM

2 days till my due date and his weight was estimated at 8 pounds already today. they said they'd let me go another week then start thinking about an induction. he's still floating around really high so he's not planning on appearing any time soon.

briteday · 09-24-2008, 12:48 AM

Bummer. I guess the 24th is out. My daughter, whose birthday is the 24th, was 3 weeks late, completely up high / floating, and stayed that way until they induced me. I guess they really like it in there! Enjoy this last week of relaxing and kicking back. Soon enough you won't know or care if it's night or day!

Annamarie · 09-28-2008, 04:18 PM

28th and still no baby! leroy is the only guess left (for the 29th).

Annamarie · 09-30-2008, 07:02 PM

Well I guess we were all wrong LOL! I guess this will be an October baby

I'm going in for an induction on Friday, so unless he comes before then his birthday will probably be Oct 3 or 4th!
