A fun baby pool - Guess when Squeak will arrive!

I am setting up an online baby pool so that you can guess Squeak's arrival date, weight and length. You do not have to pay to enter the pool but there will be a prize for the person who is the closest. The prize will be a gift card to a drink place of your choice like Starbucks, Fat Straws, Smoothie King, etc. Have fun and be sure to enter soon as I will be closing the chance to guess this weekend. I believe you click on the button above or click this link to enter your guess. Please do it on that site rather than by entering comments here as it actually computes a winner for me.

Here are some facts to help you as you make your guesses.
  • My estimated due date is July 18th.
  • Katherine was born 3 days late but it was by scheduled c-section.
  • Medically I am considered a first time mom since I did not labor at all with Katherine and most first time moms deliver a week overdue.
  • I am almost 38 weeks (2 weeks from due date) and feeling crampy but no contractions other than usual Braxton Hicks.
  • Katherine was just shy of 6 pounds at full term (5lb 15.9 oz)
  • Katherine was 18.5 inches
  • This pregnancy has been exactly like Katherine's so far in every way except that I am more sore now. Hopefully this is because Squeak is head down and gearing up for delivery whereas Katherine was breech and never moved toward delivery.

Keep checking the blog for regular updates. We plan to make a post when we are in labor and headed to the hospital and again after the delivery. Sam though has told me that I need to not be addicted to updating my blog from the delivery room:)

i so wanted squeak to be born on the birthday of a major president since katherine was.

gwb is july 6th. think you'll miss that, tho. we can always hope. it would be fun to have george & george bookend birthdays, tho!

so i went with your due date - but i have my reasons: there's a full moon.

excited to see!

i think she'll be another little one like her sister, which is good for your vbac chances!! hoping you have the birth you want!

much love and happy 4th,
chrys
