Ok, I check into the hospital at 5pm today. Ed's work called early this morning saying they had a poll going and I thought it might be fun to see what you guys say. It will give me good reading at 3am when I am feeding a baby. LOL

I will post a few pics to help out... (remember these pics are like a month old... so I had plenty of time to get bigger and bigger, LOL and yes I know... I am not looking at the camera in any of these, HA)

My due date is Christmas Day BUT I am going in today for induction. So depending on how that goes I could have the baby tonight, tomorrow (after midnight) or heck maybe even Saturday. Its not unheard of that women labor that long. I am 39 weeks today. I am having a boy.

So with that said... Any guesses as to Day/time/weight???
Maybe I will try and think of some type of prize.... IDK though... For right now, its all in the fun...


Me at my baby shower, OCTOBER 19th

Another shower photo


Me sleeping with my Macaroni surgery dog- This was THANKSGIVING!


and some M&M's with Daniel Louis's name on em...

Hmmmmm are we allowed to know your past delivery history??

Ashley 42 weeks, 8lbs 4oz induction... 20 hours from the time I entered the hospital till the time she was born.

Deidra 36 weeks, 7lbs 5oz... 9 hours from the time I entered the hospital till the time she was born, also an induction...

o this sucks it had a whole post typed up and the i pushed a button and poof it was gone..

ok wow both inductions and you say you have gotten bigger..
well im gussing that the cute little man will beeeeee...
born tonight/around 11:17ish/ and be 7lbs 13ish oz...
this is way hard for me cause im horrable at these things..
hahaa
well keep us upda\ted on all things baby today..

OK then, 8 a.m. tomorrow morning...7 lbs. 13 oz.
When in doubt, average!!! LOL

Um, I don't mean to rain on your parade but my youngest daughter's name was supposed to be Nicholas Ryan so I am of the belief that until the baby is actually on the OUTSIDE you should be prepared for either one.....Although you could always call her Danni :)

I'm going to guess around 10:00 PM tonight (because they will be late inducing you, as hospitals are ALWAYS behind schedule) and the baby will be about 8 lbs which is HUGE for a joey!

And I can't believe you're not naming him Joey!
Oh or Rudy (the Christmas Joey!)

Edited to add: I guessed these without your previous history since it took me forever to type it while changing diapers and cutting out foam Santa Claus' and Christmas Trees for our Christmas cards that we are making this afternoon!

i thought 7lbs 13oz was a good number too..
glad to see i wasnt the only one.
yeah us..
we are going to win the weight part..
hahaha

Oh-I didn't see your weight! LOL I'll change mine to 7 lbs. 14 oz. hehe

o you cheat..
butthead.. haha jk

I am guessing.....
9.8 lbs by 12:45 A.M. on 12/19/2008
I can't wait to hear the good news!

Ummm ... 9 lbs 3 oz. at 3 a.m. 8/19/08

Ok I say 8lbs 6oz. 12:00am 8/19/08. Good luck and give that little one a kiss from all of us.

He will probably be around your two daughters. although i can tell you from experiance ( my moms, not mine) she has had eight kids, and they have all been totally diferent, two were close, but she had three kids inbetween. and they all have the same dad ( unfortunatly) and be prepared once they induce, one time it took my mom two days, the child befor that took 30 minutes. Are you letting your daughters watch? my mom let us all watch every birth, its an amazing thing. our doctor let us get involed, the first time i watched he held my hands and let me help guide the baby out, since then ive learned alot, and the last baby he stood a few feet away and let me do the whole thing, one of my younger sisters got to cut the cord. its amazing!!!!

I'll guess 7-13 at 12:38a.m.

im glad so many people think its 7lb 13 oz. too..
haha i think im on the right track..

your other daughter looks so much like you..
there are so cute.. you lucky devil..
hahaha

Okay, I can't help noticing two of these posts have you delivering on 8/19/08!

I say ... 7:30 a.m. 12/19/08; 8 lbs 9 oz. (Psst: How about you name him Joey?)
