The Waiting Game

I did this with Elise’s birth, and I had a lot of fun with it; so may as well do it again. As noted on the ticker to the side, I’m down to the last week before the due date. I don’t have an induction scheduled but the Feast of the Annunciation is as far as I can carry the cutie for a plethora of reasons (so an induction would be shortly after that date, but not before). That gives about 2 weeks left to make those infamous guesses – gender, weight, length, birthday.

All I’ve been having in terms of “hinting” about going into labor is cramping. No checks for progress yet, thankfully (not that it really makes that big of a difference, anyways). You can record your guesses here and when the time finally comes; we can see who all was closest. I wish I had some sort of a neat prize or whatever to offer whoever “wins”, but consider it all in good fun nonetheless.

Thanks for humoring this (very) pregnant lady.

@ Marigold – I’ve had dreams that LO ranges in weight from 7,14 to 9+. I don’t imagine giving birth to a 9 pounder would tickle, but I totally believe I could do it.

@ Laura – one of the small blessings of having moderated comments, hee hee hee. And you never know – even if I do have to have an induction scheduled, he could still come on his own and end up born on the 26th.

@ Gae – thanks for the prayers, I definitely need them. Elise came on her own – I went into labor on 8/21, she was born 8/22; and due 8/25. I’ve never been induced, and while it wouldn’t be the end of the world for me; I’m hoping I don’t need to.

Dear Kim,
I had a wrong date the first time.
Praying for you.
I can’t remember were you induced with Elise induced?
I have had 10 inductions so I know what that is like!!

God Bless
