Katie,

I'm hoping for a girl, but I said boy to cover all bases.  I also used the same time as when my daughter was born.  Best of luck and  can't wait to see the pictures.

  Take care.

My monitor is going out and it's in flicker mode much of the time. I thought the topic was "baby poo!" which is indeed OT.

I need to contemplate this a while before I enter the pool. Is there a prize?

If there is baby poo in the baby pool, then yes, contemplating that before getting in the pool would be wise.  ;D

A night out.   

That's what you and the hubby used to do before you had those adorable children.

Never fear though, you'll get back to that one of these days - like around the time they all go off to college  ;)

In the meantime, enjoy every minute of their childhood.  As I'm sure you already know, they grow up too fast.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

As for the hair color, my hair is brown, my husbands was blond then turned light brown.  1st son is red headed, 2nd blond.  The red hair wasn't a surprise as my brother is a red head, oldest sister has auburn hair and other sister is blond then there's me with brown hair.  I'm guessing that somewhere along the line there's a few red heads in your family.  I have an Aunt that had red hair and all her children were red heads at one point.  I had 2 boys, wanted a girl but quit having children during the 80's recession so I'm hoping for a girl for you, but then again, aren't boys great!  Jill

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).  ;)

I almost chose April 1st too, but I wasn't sure if anyone consciously picks April Fools Day as a birthday if they can get around it  ;)

When I was pregnant with my twins the ultrasound tech was telling me how lots of other moms were desperately trying to avoid Leap Day.  I told her that I thought it would be kind of cool to only have a birthday every four years.  She laughed and said "You're having twins.  Twins are always early.  You'll never last that long." 

I lasted 39 weeks.  The rest is history  ;D

Katie,
I put my guess in and now I don't remember what I put, only that it's a girl.

As long as it is healthy, it really doesn't matter.
Best wishes, hopefully soon you will be breathing easier.

Does it help anyone to know that this baby is still sideways only a month before its due date?  Ugh. 

Turn, baby, turn!

Hi Katie,
 
Couldn't help but chuckle as I read the first two lines of your sig...
 
Mostly Stay-At-Home-Mom to two fantastic boys (almost 7 and 4), and baby #3 due in early April

Almost sounds like you were diagnosed with baby #3 in June of 2005!   :D
