your baby was bigger then my babies lol   my daughter was 5 lbs 2 oz, and my son was 5 lbs 12 oz.  Of course now at the age of 2 1/2 my daughter is 30 lbs, and my son at the age of 1 1/2 is freaking 36 lbs....  AHAHA  Neither one is over weight, just in the 100% tile of babies born on their birthdays, which is rare for a preemie to be in the 100% tile...  crazy!  I'd say, as long as she is healthy, I don't think 37 weeks would be a problem.  I WISH i could make it to 37 weeks

LOL So I guess I'm not the only crazy one! I already have a closet full of baby clothes, boys & girls! Mostly girls though! I have been buying for a long time though! Almost 5 years! Thats how I dealt with my infertility, every month I had a BFN and lord knows there were many! I would spend an hour looking at baby stuff, buy somthing and feel better! OK so maybe I'm a little crazier since I bought when I wasn't PG yet, BUT now that I am my babe, boy or girl will have one heck of a wardrobe! LOL

hmm, well lol see with my daughter they said I was due July 20.  I had her June 9...  LOL  My son I was due June 9, had him May 4.  LMAO  

Weird.  My FIL says my oven cooks faster, which is cool, but the weird part is, I get to the point where I had either of my kids, and I get to feeling like an over due pregnant lady.  Ahaha!  Then everyone who goes full term, looks at me funny.  

Your daughter is perfectly healthy right?

What was your original due date?  See with my daughter, they guessed I was 34w1d when I had her.  My doc thinks I was actually 36 weeks, but who knows.  My son was early, so I guess I am just an early deliverer...

my due date was ever changing so they were guessing i was 37 weeks but really they didn't have a very good idea because my due date had varied 3 to 4 whole weeks throughtout my pregnancy

Yeah early babies for me.  But what's really weird, is they say that preemies in the long run have more health problems, but my kids have been sick twice in their lives, and I have friends kids who have been sicker and had more things wrong with them.  I dunno!  Just is weird to me.  

Why would they be so concerned at 37 weeks?  That's considered term.  Well, your girls will likely be the best of friends!  Thats so silly.  Make me laugh a bit!

Pinkbelle- I knew I was having a girl too! Everyone kept saying it was a boy but I just KNEW she was a girl and then at the 18 week ultrasound she confirmed it!

Avanaar- I did buy anything for the baby until I was into my 3rd trimester. The first time I was pregnant I bought a baby outfit (a boy outfit so Pinkbelle maybe that one was a boy if my instincts were correct) at like 6-7 weeks. Two weeks later I miscarried and then the next pregnancy I just couldn't jinx myself. I even got rid of that outfit because I couldn't bare to have it anywhere near me. :(

hahaha I announced i was pregnant and a month later she announced she was pregnant and neither of us were trying! It was meant to be I guess at least our girls can grow up together and hopefully be as good of friends as their mommys are! Wow 34 weeks thats really early they were worried about me delivering at 37...

weird!  that is strange!   Are you and your friend, secretly twins?  LOL  Just kidding, that is really weird!  She copied you, lol

With my son I was 10 cm dilated at 5 months, so I knew I had to go make sure I had everything.  I'm frankly surprised I made it to 33 weeks out on my own, and went in for a check up to be monitored and they told me I couldn't go home.  Had him at 35 weeks.

My daughter, I wouldn't even know if I was dialted LOL  I hit 34w1d and BAM my water broke and she came rushing to the world.  Those contractions were 3 minutes long and 30 seconds apart, holy hell.  It scared me because I was not prepared.  My golly....Learned my lesson LOL

For this pregnancy, I start getting checked on the 29 th of this month for dialation, every two weeks.

wow i wish i wouldnt have felt mine .. i was 1 cm and i was having contractions less than a minute apart and they hurt like heck!! I do believe that we can tell the gender of our baby .. i just knew she was  a girl!  Aubree came early as well but heck I was prepared for her before I was even out of the first trimester! = ] I knew what my best friend was having before she did.. I just knew she was having a girl and guess what she had a baby girl! The weird thing is I delivered at exactly 37 weeks 4 days and my daughter was 6lbs 5 oz and 19 1/2 inches and my best friend delievered at 37 weeks 5 days and her daughter was 6lbs 5 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long she delievered exactly 1 month and 2 days after i did and we both developed pre eclampsia i just thought that was strange

lol....well every women will know deep down the sex of the baby!  It's really just wether you want to accept it or not, LOL

That's awesome though!  With my daughter, since I didn't know  i was prego till 7 months, i was thinking i'll wait till the baby shower, and then I had her early LOL  I had NOTHING!  LOL  not even a car seat, so I had her, and she was in the hospital for two weeks, and i was staying there, however i called my dad up as soon as they okayed me to leave and come back to go get a stroller and car seat, crib and all that.  

So with my son, I went out at 5 months to make sure I had everything I needed!  Good thing too, because he was early as well, and they kept me in the hospital for two weeks before i had him because i was apparently have contractions that were up to 100 and not feeling them, LOL....

So yeah.

DH and I bought our first baby clothes about 3 years ago, 2 years into TTC..we are currently 21 weeks pg with our first child now.  We saw these adorable ducky themed and decided "hey why not"

We were so happy to dig them out of the back of our closet in preparation for our son. ^_^

I still haven't bought anything for the baby!!  And I'm 29 weeks pregnant!  lol  ...I think I held off because I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy.  When I went and bought a maternity outfit on eBay, I miscarried a few weeks later.  It was pretty upsetting to get my maternity clothes in the mail but not need them anymore.  ; ;  So that's why I've waited to get anything for me or the baby until now!  ^.^

Like I said, still nothing for the baby ...but I did get some great clothes for me!  =D

Yup I sure did have a girl!!! Everyone was telling me I was nuts I mean I bought like 20 outfits all for a girl ( pink) when I was 5 weeks pregnant . We didnt end up finding out it was a girl til I was 27 week pregnant and by that time I had already painted the room pink and green! I just knew it was gonna be a girl!

i don't really need to buy anything since I have both boy and girl clothes already, however after my next u/s when I confirm the sex, i'll probably buy a hospital outfit for the baby to get pictures in!
