I say give or take because, let's face it, Ruby's coming whenever she's ready, regardless of the official due date. But, yes, we're now officially in single digits.
We had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and everything looks good. We're just in a holding pattern from here on out.

An update without an update
We're 11 days out from Ruby's official due date.
Emilia's still plugging along like the brave woman that she is, although I think she passed the ready-to-get-Ruby-out mark about a week and a half ago. Ruby, on the other hand, seems content on staying in the warm womb while punching Emilia's ribs every hour or two.
Gigi was here for the past week, helping us to get the nursery finalized, clothes washed, and the house cleaned. She's been a great help, and Ruby's room looks gorgeous. We'll have pictures up soon.
We'll keep y'all updated.

And how big will she be?
On September 25, we had family and friends guess Ruby's birthday, weight, and length. At $3 per entry, the winner will be lucky enough to purchase something special for Ruby. Here are the entries in no particular order:

My wife is hot
Seriously.
We got back some of the pictures from our recent photo session with the amazing Lyndsay Stradtner. Click here to see a slideshow of our beautiful faces and Ruby's current residence. A few samples below:

One month, more like three weeks!
David might have been a little off with his estimate this morning of one month to go. We just got back from the final ultrasound appointment and the tech had some surprising news.
Based on her measurements today, the tech suggested that November 13th was a more reasonable estimate on the due date than November 22nd. She also estimated Ruby's weight to be around 6 pounds 8 ounces. I thought she meant her predicted weight at birth, but the tech confirmed that this was an estimate of her weight TODAY. Looks like we're going to have a big girl on our hands.
We realize that these are all rough estimates and Ruby will only come when Ruby's ready. But I will admit that it got me a little nervous and super excited to think that we might get to meet her sooner than expected.
