I joined too ...

I have three boys and 1 girl - so just couldn't decide. 


Good luck, have fun!

Kate -

I guessed a girl because I know how much I enjoy my girls and figured she would be  smaller than the boys were.  As for the date, I had c-secsions so I don't know when they would have been born naturally, but they're late for everything.

Best wishes,
Wendy

Hi, Katie
I'm guessing another boy!
For some reason, I can't navigate anywhere on the baby pool webpage, but thought I'd throw my guess in here.

Wishing you the best!

okay. I want to play. Few questions first. What type foods did you crave.....sour or sweet?
Morning sickness? Severe?
Belly like a watermelon or basketball?
Carrying high or low?
Heartbeat of baby above 140?
I want to make a good guess.
oh yeah. How big where the other babies?

Just as an aside, Marci.. small baby doesn't equal petite woman.  My daughter was born 10 lbs 2 oz..  a HUGE baby, but if you looked at her now (3rd grade) she is one of the smallest and petite in her grade level.  Ironically, my son was 10 lbs 8.5 oz at birth..  I'm thinking linebacker for him if he stays growing the way that he is (and keeps his temperment).  ;)

Brian

my 8lb 12 oz son turned into a 6'2" man weighing about 170 lbs while my 4 pound twins are also but
weigh in at around 215lbs

my 7 pound girl is 5 foot and 106lbs ...her waist and that of her skinny brother are the same :o

then 9lb 4 oz Sarah is the smallest in her 4th grade class ... she has been the smallest all trough school...

we don't know where my oldest son came from ...he has red hair was 7 and a half pounds ...now only 5'5"
and about 200 lbs ... he isn't fat ..shoulders broad and short waisted with thick trunk ...I think he may be a
big leprechaun... he looks like my cousin ... in build and hair color... all the rest of my kids have the same
medium brown hair color

I voted th other day but forgot what my vote was ...

I have found that once I have mine in hand they are exactly what I wanted even if before I had them I
wanted the other kind ...never found out what any were before their arrival..I like surprises

I've always been all about the sweets.  Morning sickness has gotten worse with each pregnancy, but still not severe this time.  Baby's heartbeat is 150s.  My first was 7lbs 13 oz at 40 weeks and my second was 9lb 11oz at 38.5 weeks.  As for how I'm carrying, I truly cannot judge.  This baby still flips around from sideways to up/down and jumps all over the place.  My shape changes dramatically day to day!

There's still time to play!  I'm due later this week, but this little one seems quite happy where s/he is.  I'm doing what I can to work on eviction proceedings.   ;)

Good to hear from you Katie!  And good to hear you haven't had the baby yet.  I think I picked 4/3, so I'm still in the running.

Best wishes for a swift, uneventful labor.

Kate,

I see you are still here  ;)  I hope your little one doesn't keep you waiting too long even though I picked April 5.  At this point I'm sure you want this over with and are anxious  to meet her/him face to face.  Wishing you a blissfully short and pain free delivery.

Katie,

Are you absolutely sure you didn't deliver your baby yesterday around 4:30pm? 

Sorry, I'm still hoping to pull out a win on this baby pool, but it's not looking good...

Nancy, at least you don't have to pay to send your AN to college.   ;)

Been there, done that.  Two was enough.  One more year left out of eight total.  Then I just have to hope the second one finds a job.  :-[
