Time to guess!

Here is our set-up for baby #2. Cute, huh? He/she will share a closet and drawers with Lib but will sleep in our room.


Well, baby #2's birthday is coming up! Is the babe a boy or a girl? July birthday or August? Bigger or smaller than Libby? Here is your chance to guess! And just like last time there isn't really a prize, just the satisfaction of being right. :)

Gender:
Date:
Time:
Weight:
Length:

Here are a few "hints" (I have no idea how helpful they are :) Libby weighed 7 lbs. 7 oz. and was 20.5" long at birth and was TEN DAYS late (please, oh please don't follow in big sister's footsteps, little one!). Like I said before, Lib was late, I started labor 9 days after her due date and she was born the following day. She was born at 11:23am on a Tuesday.
Today at my 37 week check-up I declined to be checked so I don't know anything really and baby is apparently a bit sideways or transverse. The mid-wife wasn't concerned at all and said if I go into labor they can move the babe around. She also said that second babies are typically a little bigger and come closer to their due date, whereas first born's are usually late.
Good luck!!

Edited to add: my EDD is August 3rd, Kacie. :)

Thanks for playing everyone!!! Here are my guesses:

Gender: girl! (I had a super vivid dream last night that we were having another little girl)
Date: August 5 (I really think this one will be around my EDD and will be an Aug. babe, plus that would be convenient for my to give birth at the beginning of the weekend! :) )
Time: 3:30 pm
Weight: 8 lbs. even. (I just have a feeling that this baby will be bigger than Lib)
Length: 21" (remember, baby measured long at the last sono I had)

Ok, so there we go!

Last time Todd was almost exactly right and with his guesses this time I wouldn't mind if he were right again! Go Todd!!
I really, really do not want the baby to come on our anniversary, so I hope you're wrong, Heather! I don't want to share. :)
Seems like my family really thinks we're going to have a boy! I guess we'll just wait and see. :)

Thanks again for playing, everyone. Can't wait to make our announcement!!

I still feel bad about us swapping due dates last time! I feel like I had the better end of that deal. :p

Anyway, looks like that guy Todd was really close with Libby! Just an ounce and a half inch off, wow!

I want to know what your 40-week date is before I make a guess, please!

Stacy Ann said...

No you guessed boy earlier! And now I'm back to thinking its a boy. :)

Bethanie said...

I don't know why I guessed a boy, what was I thinking? No, no, no. I've never thought this baby was a boy...maybe I was just influenced by your dream..I've been thinking girl since day one. we'll see how it turns out TODAY or tomorrow! hah! :) (good luck!:)
