It's crazy to me how long they've made you wait.
You've gotta be dying to know.

You're going shopping with your mom that day, right?? That'll be sooo much fun!!

It's Classic Pooh either way, though?

I think it is. When we went for our first appointment, they gave us a due date that was basically a guess based on Cathy's last period. Then on our second appointment, they did an ultrasound and measured the size of Poppy. This allowed them to have a better guess of the due date.

Here's a workaround:

1. Open your image as a pdf (at 100% magnification, if that's a choice)
2. Take a 'printscreen' (alt-PrntScrn)
3. Paste this image into your favorite imaging editing software. (I like Microsoft Photo Editor for this. It probably lives in a folder called Microsoft Office Tools)
4. Crop the image to your liking
5. Save it as a jpg
6. Upload it like you are used to doing.

I guess if he's HUGE that might change... but that is what she originally told me.
I think that date is because my due date based off of LMP was June 9, 2009 (which would make 6/2 39 weeks). I think, now that she knows he is consistently measuring ahead in size and weight, she is going off of 6/9 again because the Ultrasound is giving a skewed due date due to his size! She told me there is major brain development around week 37 and she would never induce until that is all done and over with!

So I'd say he'll still be a June baby, unless he gets HUGE.. She did say if I went into labor on my own after I hit the week 37 mark, she wouldn't stop it.
Ohmygosh! So soon.

He's pretty happy in there.. I've had no contractions, no braxton hicks.. I'll prolly get to be one of those lovely ladies doped up on Pitocin and probably have to have my stinkin' water broken too.
If thats the case, I'm taking the epidural.. everyone says Pitocin slows labor and I'm not signing myself up for that!


..I don't know that I would have an idea how big he is if it weren't for the extra ultrasounds. She told me at my 1st appointment, 1 ultrasound. Then I had a week of no movement and he failed the baby stress test so I got sent for another to check on him (26 weeks).. the third one (32 weeks) was because the second one showed he was breech and 90th percentile.
Third one showed he is no longer breech, but now upper 90th percentile.
Fourth one is strictly to check on his size..

Just FYI...I thought pitocin slowed labor too... My DD8 was induced 100%, they gave the pitocin around 8:30 pm and she was born at 3:30am... 7 hrs isn't too bad.
Then, with Ella on Saturday, they gave me pitocin around 2ish since my water had already broke, and I had her at 7:09... she went QUICK... like...I had my epidural at 3.5 dialated...within an hr I was at 9.5!!! I thought those slowed it too....LOL

I'm only 5 weeks and my due date is Dec. 8th.

Congrats!!!

I AM dying to know. I just can't wait for Tuesday to get here! I have a friend from work who didn't find out until she was 7 1/2 months She said her daughter kept her legs crossed and they couldn't tell what she was so she finally went and got a 4D U/S done to tell them the sex. I definitely can't imagine having to wait any longer than this! I've already said that I am NOT leaving that doctor's office until I know whether it's a boy or girl

Yes, going shopping with my mom that day. I wanted to wait to register until I knew what the sex is. I am looking forward to it!

Yup, Classic Pooh is the theme regardless. In fact, I just got my Classic Pooh wall stickers in the mail today that I ordered from Target. Once I get the room more situated and decide where everything's going to go then I will put them up. It's all becoming more real and it's so exciting

Are they like the ones I've got?
Bro is a Target freak, so I figure that might be where they originated...

Post pictures when you start! It gets so much more real when you start with the stuff like this... and I'd love to see!!

After my shower Saturday, I'll have all the handprint boards done and can hang them and then I'll be almost done with my nursery... just missing those boards, crown molding, 1 piece of furniture.. and of course, HIM!
(oh.. and a door. )

Thanks! I'll give that a try. My DH is a computer nerd, so i may just let him handle it. We got a 3d image that came out awesome and I want to share!

I'm so excited for you! More than I was for myself! lol I never really got excited about it, but I am really happy to know.

So today I felt Lily actually moving around. Before now I just felts kicks, but the movement feels so cool...it tickles a little. hopefully DH will be able to feel her better soon--she always stops kicking as soon as either of us put our hands on the belly. So DH has only felt her kick twice.

Ohhh.. share, share, share!

Have you SEEN your tummy move yet? Thats the creepiest thing in the world.

I have Ellas room done in Classic Pooh....I love it. I am debating on those Target wall stickers... I bought a wall 'saying' that says "Love is like a butterfly, it pleases where it goes and it goes where it pleases" for one of her walls, and am contemplating putting those stickers around it...

There are so many different Classic Pooh bed sets....which one do you have?

Yes, they are the same ones you have When you posted those pictures I had literally just ordered the same set that morning from Target. They're super cute and I can't wait to put them up I will definitely post pics as soon as we start decorating.

Aw that's so cool. I have just been excited because I have finally felt the baby kicking. Up until about 2 weeks ago all I felt was a little fluttering but now it's definite kicking. And a lot of it! Some days I feel like this kid is re-enacting Bend It Like Beckham My poor mom wants to feel the baby kick so badly but it's the same problem you're having...everytime she goes to feel my stomach the kicking stops. It's like they have some kind of baby radar! ha ha

That would be a really cute idea! I love the wall stickers, they are completely adorable

This is the bedset I bought:
http://www.target.com/Classic-Pooh-3...8&pf_rd_t=5201

I bought the 3 piece set that comes with the sheet, comforter, and bumper pad and they happened to have the dust ruffle that day I went so I bought that too. It's a really nice set!

Not yet, she's hanging out so low that I usually feel everything on the underside of my belly that I can't see...maybe Dh could see it first, that would be cool...
