38 weeks...Place Your Bets

Some say full term is considered 37 weeks, some say it's 38 weeks, but either way, I'm definitely full term as of today.   Due date in two weeks (7/27/11), though I'm trying hard not to put too much stock in any specific date lest it become a waiting game and not happen for two weeks after that!  



And...if you're the bettin' kind, nows the time to place your bets!  (So if you're a silent follower, thanks for reading, but now's the time to speak up and enter the pool!)

Guess the Gender, Weight, Birthday and Time in a comment on this post and once baby arrives, closest answer wins a prize!  (Pride guaranteed, prize to be determined.)

Update: I guess I forgot to include length of baby, but since I didn't include that from the beginning, we'll still leave it out.  However, a couple of you forgot to guess a time - be sure to add that in (if you don't, I'll use 12:00 noon as the default time)!  Also, I found a website that coordinates baby pools - I am not planning to use it, but it gave me the method for calculating the winner.  Points will be totalled as follows, winner has the fewest points:
  • incorrect gender: 400 points
  • birth date & time: 5 points/hour
  • weight: 5 points/ounce
And...in case you need motivation to guess, the prize will be a framed CARcass print from my photography collection (photo of my choice).

IM going to go with July 30th, 7lbs 5oz, boy, and 20 inches long. THe reason is, Livia was due Sept 27th and I had her on the 30th. not much coincidences but still that is my guess.

Aunt Anita says it will be a girl, 7 lb 8 oz, born 7-31. Looking forward to hearing your news, and hoping and praying that your little one's journey from your belly to your arms will be safe and smooth!

Patricia and Ryan- For what it's worth, I don't have much experience with births other than my own and I don't remember much of that one. I think it's going to be the 28th, a boy weighing at 7lbs, 7oz. I hope to see the three of you in August or September. BE well until then and wish the two of you a very smooth healthy birth.
