Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

JDH I will be starting my leave around the same time (1.5 weeks to my last day at work and I will be 32+4) but I am using up 5.5 weeks annual leave first so my official maternity leave starts at 38 weeks. Originally planned to start mat leave at 40 weeks and work the extra 2 weeks, but decided with moving house soon and everything I am just getting too tired to face the extra days in the office. Can't wait now :D

Babymonkey what a fab bargain. I have managed to pick up some lovely clothes second hand and most of them look brand new. Nothing beats finding a good bargain :)

Garden I'm jealous that you have your nursery theme and it's all done. We haven't done anything with ours yet as will wait until we've moved but I can't wait to get in his room and start decorating. I love owls so may go with that as a theme as I like the idea of a more gender neutral room

Think little man has turned into an octopus overnight. He literally did not stop wriggling and flipping from about 8pm until the early hours. Was very uncomfortable all night

Oh you are ambitious working that long! I admire you! I will be leaving at 37 weeks, which is 4 weeks away and I am dying already...

And so funny you referred to your baby as an octopus. I have been referring to mine as Octobaby for the past 2 months! LOL!
 
I've been avoiding a front bump pic this whole pregnancy.I should probably just get over the body issues but I've gained so much the last two years.Well here it is.31+4

I wish you weren't self-conscious because you look great! Lovely bump!!:thumbup:
 
I wont start maternity leave until the day before my scheduled c section, which is November 11! Wish we had paid maternity leave here, like other countries!

Oh I know!

I am super lucky to live in California where we have super great benefits (which we pay super high state taxes for of course), plus I work for a huge global corporation that takes care of it's employees. But even to take off before you have your baby, you have to get a doctor to sign you out of work with a VALID reason (being pregnant does not qualify you for pre-mat leave...).

But even then... 16 weeks off after baby is GREAT here in the states. It is still pathetic compared to other countries though.
 
feeling so uncomfy at this point and time seems to be getting slower now. LOL

I agree with the slowness. I'm trying not to complain about being uncomfy YET lol bc I know I still have so much more growing to do...ahhhhh!!! Haha
Peanut you only have 46 more days on the ticker!!!! Eeeeeee
 
Oh don't say that babymonkey, I know it's true but I feel like there is no more growing room!!
 
I'm with you Dazed! My belly can't possibly get any bigger! Only 5-9 more weeks! Hoping for 5-6!! :) Why does that still sound like such a long time!?!? I want to meet my baby boy NOW!
 
I'm just starting to get bad hip and pelvic pain now and it's pretty uncomfortable. Getting comfy in bed at night is impossible.

Can't believe we're all so close now. Seems like such a long time ago that we were all posting our introductions in here. Scary but exciting, lol
 
we are all so close you are right. Now we are all talking about being uncomfy and stuff LOL. I can't wait to start seeing everyones baby pics if you all share with us!!!!
Wondering who will be the first to go?
 
I say it will be myself or Zowie as she has twins and I have a possible induction date in roughly 3 wqeeks!!! ah!!! 3 weeks.
 
ahh! just got an email, my friend liz0012 is being induced as I write this. Her BP was up slightly today at appointment. First high BP and she is 37w5d wow things just hit home for me
 
3 weeks peanut!?!? omg!!!

I'm hoping for only 5 more weeks making me just shy of 37 like I was with Abigail! :)

I'm anxious for him to be here because I'm so uncomfortable and I want to meet him but at the same time I'm positively terrified of having two so close in age!
 
Glad we're all in the home stretch. Hope the weeks don't drag by. lol The weeks can slow down after the babies arrive. lol
 
I'm hoping my LO says put as long as possible as I want a home birth and there are cut off times it's allowed.
I am so excited though. I've just been naughty and sneaked around to my mum and dads (who I know are out for the day!) to peek at the pram they bought for me (second hand) and I love it. It's an older Mamas and papas with navy background and lime polka dots and stripes. ( quite hippy which is right up my alley!
I can't find a photo of it on the internet. I also peeked at a beautiful pastel rainbow cardigan that someone has knitted for me. I feel like a naughty little girl creeping down stairs to see if santa has been.
