So, I'm officially two days past my due date and still no baby. I feel great and I'm still holding out for the first of September. I'm not sure if this baby can get any bigger, but either way we're just days away. I can't believe that we don't know the gender of this baby, but Jeff seems to think that it is really exciting not knowing. I, myself, don't see the excitement in not knowing...even after all this waiting it seems silly to not find out and be prepared for what gender of baby we will have. I haven't bought a thing. I take that back...I bought diapers and one boy outfit and one girl outfit. That is it. I haven't made anything, decorated anything, or picked out favorite names. It really almost seems LESS exciting to not know what we're having, but at least when it is all over Jeff will be glad that we did it this way and I'll be able to tell people my honest opinion on the subject. On the other hand, I have washed, scrubbed, touched-up, and cleaned-out everything inside (and outside) of my house. I had my windows cleaned, I scrubbed my floors and baseboards, I meticulously went around my house with white paint and a craft paintbrush and touched up all the places on the baseboards that the vacuum or kids had nicked, I dusted, shifted cupboards and closets, and have pretty much done all that I can think to do before we have another noise-maker in our home. I guess that all means that I'm pretty much finally getting out of denial and realizing that we really are going to have a baby here in a few days.
Here are my guesses, so that I can make it official:
I'm not going to guess gender because I have no clue.
Birthday: September 1st Weight: 7 lbs 14 oz (Nick was 7lbs 10 oz) Length: 21"
Well, the denial was nice while it lasted. How about your guesses? Wish me an easy delivery like my last two!!!

If you want Sept..I'll say Sept. But we think it's a little girl!!
I'm going to guess girl. I've been stalking your blog for an announcement--guess I'll have to wait a little longer. Good-luck :)
I had to laugh when I read your post because I have been doing the same thing - cleaning/organizing anything and everything I can think of. When will our babies just come??!! I am also scheduled for Sept 1 if he doesn't come on his own. I have a feeling we will both be in the hospital at the same time - lol! Good luck with your labor and delivery and I'm betting on a girl. :)
Sounds like you are ready!! Can't wait to hear what you have!! I think you are the one & only 9 month prego person that hopes the baby is born AFTER the due date!! =)
Good Luck. I am so excited for you. I am hoping for a girl too.
I've been checking regularly to see when you have this little one. My guess is a girl...because they like to keep you waiting, and she's going to come fashionably late! I dare say that you may be having her now as I'm writing this, or tomorrow the 31st! Wish you much luck and hope that all goes smoothly for you! I'll be checking back! :)
You will be so glad you waited to find out! We were it was so much fun! I'm guessing a boy. 8 lbs. 20 inches. Good luck. We are so excited for you!
