actual due date: well, the c/s is scheduled for sept 12 but i *think* my actual dd is sept 14 or 15
when i think baby will come: it had better be soon : i'll say the 22nd of august merely because i'm trying to think positively : i was close! she came 21 august
how long i think i will labour: a few hours? i'm not planning on going to hospital until my water breaks and since i didn't labour at all with dd1 i've no idea how long it'll be i wish i'd been closer on this one! i started having serious contractions around midnight on the 21st, had them all through the day and she was born at 7 30 that night, so labour was around 19 hours
what i think baby will weigh: she had *better* be more than the 5 pounds her sister was considering i outgrew my maternity clothes from pg # 1 two months ago : i'll say 6 pounds 11 oz. ah, so close here too! 5 pounds 11 ounces!
what i think gender will be: if it's anything but a girl then there are a LOT of u/s techs who'll have some explaining to do! : she's most definitely a girl!

[littlecityfarmer]

Actual Due Date: Sept. 4
When I think baby will come: Hopefully sometime this week-- I usually go a couple of weeks early, and baby dropped over the weekend
How I think I will labor: Keeping busy with nesting projects, walking as much as I can, staying away from the hospital until I'm ready to push (might just as well stay home at that point...)
What I think baby will weigh: 7 pounds-ish
What I think gender will be: DS insists that he'll have a brother, and I've been getting boy vibes the entire pregnancy, but I'm carrying like a girl... 85 % boy 15% girl would be odds if I were the betting type
What I think baby will look like: Sono picture at 32 weeks could have been from my pregnancy with DS! I'm sure this one will look just like Daddy, as do both DS and DD-- I just incubate and feed them, he apparently provides all of the genetic material

[AdalynsMama]

Actual Due Date: Sept 15th
When I think baby will come: Sept 20th
How I think I will labor: I going to take a chance and say it will be around 16 hours. My last was 32, so if I can just cut that in half I also think I'll labor mostly upstairs in the birth tub with dh and my doula. I'd love a water birth but I have a feeling I'll deliver on dry land.
What I think baby will weigh: 8lb 4oz
What I think gender will be: It's supposed to be a boy!

[gizzyntaz]

Actual Due Date: Sept. 12

What I think Gender will be: Boy; but I wouldn't be COMPLETELY shocked if it is a girl. (He's a boy!)
What I think baby will look like: Hopefully more like me (DS is a carbon copy of my DH). I think it will definitely have a big head, DH's extra-long torso, and I'm REALLY, REALLY hoping for my eyes! Dark hair, too. (DH's eyes, everything else I was right on...)

Actual Due Date: Sept. 13
When I think baby come: Sept. 15
How I think I will labor: No idea but maybe 5-6 hrs
What I think baby will weigh: 7 lbs 4 oz
What I think Gender will be: I have boy vibes
What I think baby will look like: Just like his sister and Daddy. I really hope he/she will have my eyes but genetics are probably going to end up with baby having DH's dark eyes. I'm hoping baby isn't as much of a cone head as DD was at birth.
