Bonus Post: Bean Baby Guesses

It's time for baby guesses again!  My elaborate points system has fallen a bit by the wayside, so we're not going to complicate matters this time around.  For your own personal sense of accomplishment, you may attempt to correctly predict the following:

1. Birth Date
2. Birth Time
3. Gender
4. Weight
5. Length

Feel free to throw in other guesses as well.  Will this baby have a lot of hair?  Will we make it to the hospital in time, or have a baby on the road (the hospital is in St. Mary's, 30 minutes away)?  Will Jillian, who is staying with us this summer, miss any work due to the baby being born?  Will our baby make an appearance before either Justine's (due July 2) or Keshia's (due July 17)?  If it's a boy, will we use any of the five names we have in mind, or go with something completely different?

  1. Okay, so my guesses are a little out there, but here goes!

    July 5, 8:25am, Boy, 5lbs12oz, 19.5" AND
    8:37am, Girl, 5lbs4oz, 19"

    You will make it to the hospital. Yes, Jillian will miss work...afterall, you're coming home with 2 babies! You will use one of your boy names and they will both have a lot of hair.

    (I'll get the rest of the family's guesses later tonight.)

  3. Olivia's guesses:

    1. After July 12. 5 days after. July 17.
    2. During lunch.
    3. Girl.
    4. How many pounds I was (8 lbs, 5 oz). A little heavy to hold.
    5. 18 inches long (measured between hands).

    Gretchen's guesses:

    2. In the day. When we are sometimes eating lunch.
    3. Girl

    Other guesses: Maybe when it's 4 then maybe it will still be a baby.

    Kaitlyn's guesses:
    1. July 17. Or 18. Or 12. Or 4. Or 3. I gave her a calendar and she couldn't decide. July 17 was her first pick, though.
    2. Day or night? No.
    3. Girl
    4. Heavy. Baby.
    5. How long? 1 2.

  4. Bryan needs to work on keeping his stories straight. Either you beat me by minutes on July 2 or I continue my pattern with July 6. It can't be both!

    1. Birth Date July 5 (beating me)
    2. Birth Time 4:48 AM (arrive 1 hr before)
    3. Gender Boy
    4. Weight 7 lbs 7 oz
    5. Length 20.5 inches

    1. And after looking at Stephanie's, I've decided that twins born one on each side of Squirt would be hilarious, but we're looking at June 22 or 23 since that's when we'll need to be around to get our stuff back from the movers.

    2. I almost pointed that out to him, but then decided to just let him go...
