Aww, Rach, that was a lovely post. I was thinking the same and it was nice to imagine you and your kids, all waiting, with bag packed 
I've had my bag packed for ages too (and I'm booked for a homebirth!).
My scan pics (see links in my signature) were taken at 27wks+5) where the consultant said the estimated weight was 4lbs, so I keep wondering what my baby must look like now, almost a month on. I keep thinking (hoping!) I'll go early too.
I already have most of my Christmas shopping done and a lot of presents wrapped (it wasn't easy finding Christmas paper in August, let me tell you!) because I have 2 older kids at primary school and, as I'm due in November, didn't want to leave every too last minute. I've even written out Christmas cards. But I'm worried now that I'm too well organised and that everything's dragging as a result...I even had two holidays this year to try and keep me occupied.
I'm now clearing the house of any junk/clutter. I've given bags and bags of clothes to charity and, as they wouldn't take bric-a-brac, I'm having a carboot sale ths weekend. I want to have a massive clear out before I get in all the baby's gear (and then of course all the toys my other two will get for Christmas). I've even started to look for Halloween outfits for my other two, "just in case" I go a week early....and I've bought them a present from the baby to produce when s/he is born. I've red-decorated all the bedrooms. I just need to gloss every available wood surface and I should be all set...
I think my kids are fed up with the mention of this baby by now (as much as I'm fed up waiting).
What are you all doing/have you still to do, to prepare?
