Ok guys, this isn't typically my sort of thing... but I thought it might be fun to conduct a little contest wherein you try to guess the baby's:
1. Birthday
2. Sex
3. Weight
The person who guesses closest in each category will receive.... um.... nothing? Mention by name (with link if you have your own blog) on this blog? Same for the person who gets closest overall, plus my eternal admiration of your psychic powers?
(Any suggestions on non-sucky prizes would be appreciated since I don't have any idea how these things usually work.)
Now, to level the playing field a bit, some disclosures:
LMP: 4/16/2011
Due date by LMP: 1/21/2012
Due date by 13.5 week ultrasound: 1/24/2012
Typical cycle length: 24-28 days
I weighed 7lbs 10oz when I was born, but my mom smoked. She weighed 9 lbs 6 oz when she was born. I have gained somewhere in the vicinity of 24 to 29 lbs so far, depending on whether you believe that I didn't put on any weight in my first trimester. My GCT was 117 fasted.
Looking forward to hearing your guesses!
Now I'm off to pack my hospital bag.

(I've been following you here this entire semester, too, but haven't commented because life keeps you busy when you've got 2 kids, a husband, 3 cats, 17 chickens, and you're trying to get the 4.0 - which I did. :) )
