Baby Pool

My last doctor's appointment was a bit of let down, what with the "well, he's in crappy position and there's been no change." Today's was a much more encouraging, "You've past 39 weeks, he's moved into perfect position, you're dilated to a three now and just get out walking and you're gonna have this baby soon." Of course, reality means soon could be tomorrow, or next week. Either way, I'm just glad he's moved into a favorable position and progress is being made. It makes all the Braxton Hicks and the pressure and pains seem so much more worth it. :-)

So, since we're closing in . . . any last minute guesses on birth date, time, weight, height and length of labor?

Just as a reminder: Annie was born on her due date, 6lbs. 8 ounces, 19 inches long, at 6:47PM. (After about 8-10 hours of labor, probably . . . that first one was hard to call, when you're actually 'in' labor and all.)
Ellie was born two weeks early, she was 6lbs even (well, like 5lbs. 15.5 ounces), 19.5 inches long. (My water broke the night before, I walked that hospital all night long with not so much as a contraction. They started pitocin in the morning, and as soon as I started having any measurable contractions they turned it off and she was born a little over 2 hours later. She was born around 10 something in the morning, I think. I'm gonna have to look that one up. :-)

Enter your guesses -- winners might even get a prize. If I'm together enough after birth to remember to send 'em. :-)

Thats a hard one to guess it looks like you have pretty little babies but boys always seem to be bigger anyways. I will say June 27th at 5:45pm He will be 7lbs 3 oz and be 18.5 inches long.... Thats what logan was lol
As for how long the labor will be I hope for your sake its only 2 hrs lol but I will be more realistic and say 7 hours labor.

Good luck and I cant wait to see the pics :)

So basically Ellie was already on the obesity charts when she was born? Six pounds and only 19.5 inches, that poor poor fat child. How does she even walk around??

June 30 at 1:42 pm. Labor will be about 4 hours long, give or take. He will be 6 lbs 14 oz, and 20 inches long.

I am horrible at these things...you can pretty much count on none of these things happening.
