Place Your Bets!!

Well, technically there are no bets, so that was a poor title.  BUT...I'd love to hear your guesses as to when Karson will arrive and how big he will be.

I weighed 8 and a half pounds, and arrived roughly four days past my due date at 3:30 in the afternoon.

My office has chimed in, and their collective guesses average out to:

February 16th
9:00 AM
8 lb 6 oz
21.36 inches long


My individual guess is as follows:
February 18th
4:00 AM
8 lb 12 oz
21.5 inches long


As for the date, I like that it's a Friday, and that he's definitely full term...and that helps us out with our family care/vacation plan for pre-day care.    And I chose the 4:00 AM hour because I always wake up during that hour.  And not necessarily for a potty break.  I've been doing that for several weeks now actually.  So I'm convinced that something will happen around 4:00 am.  Whether it's labor starting, water breaking, baby arriving...something!

Let us know what your guesses are!  For those who can't figure out how to post a comment, (which seems to be nearly everyone...) feel free to email me and I'll post it on here for you.

I think Karson will make his appearance on Feb.15th, my parent's anniversary, will weigh 8 lbs. 8oz and will be 20 inches long. Plus, I agree with you and think that something (labor starting, water breaking, baby arriving) will happen at 4:00am.

I am very excited to be the winner...thank you. :)

7 lb 14 oz and 21 3/4 inches

I like February 18th, (that is my daughter's birthday) but I think labor will start at 4am so I'm going to go for 10 at night. Sorry!
