I'll go first!

Actual EDD: February 12th 2009
Baby's gender: Girl
Weight (lbs/oz): 7lbs 8oz
Length (in): 19.5"
Baby Birthdate and gestation: February 16th 2009 (40w4d)
Time of day: Early morning (6am-ish)
Length of labor: 10 hours
Place of Birth: At home, in a birthing pool
Other details: DH and my mom will be there and it will be one of those super cold sunny days.

I'm not sure if anyone is looking here anymore, but I thought I'd update to say that I'm having a boy! So I'm wrong about the gender so far. And I had a dream that I had the baby on February 7th - so we'll see if that comes true. In the dream I was arguing with my doctor because he said the baby was born on February 7th and I was telling him that the baby wasn't born yet. And then dh walked in with the baby and it was a boy (and this was before I knew it was a boy). So we'll see...

And larger than average-sized babies too, apparently.

/hijack because I'm sensitive about it and feel like I need to explain, since my prediction is so off from everyone else's:

Last time around I assumed my babe would be way more than 7 lbs because I was very healthy and conscientious about what I ate and gaining enough weight, etc. (I gained nearly 35 lbs.) And since I was obviously putting on enough weight, and she wasn't born prematurely, of course she'd weigh "average" or more even, right?

I was actually very shocked when she came out 6 lbs, 6 oz. I thought something was wrong. Then my midwife reassured me that was a very common thing, and still a very healthy weight, because I'm a very petite person. (I weighed 6 lbs, 5 oz at birth.)

So I'm adjusting my expectations for birth weight this time, at risk of seeming like a pessimist, because my last baby was petite -- but very healthy. I'm very petite, but very healthy.

And the ultimate goal is for this one to be whatever size s/he needs to be, and be healthy. So there's my big explanation, because I don't want anyone to think I'm purposefully wanting my child to be little. Which is a ridiculous thing. Obviously.

/hijack off
