Guesses for our Girl

Well, we're getting close to baby time and my sister, Melanie, reminded me that we need to make some guesses! So, I'll provide you with all the info you need and then go ahead and make a guess on the day, her weight, length, etc. Whatever there is to guess about! We just got home from the doctor, so all of this info is up to date!
-This picture was taken today before our doctor's appointment. So there you go if you wanna guess by the size of my belly.
-I will be 38 weeks tomorrow.
-Doctor says I'm measuring at 37 weeks.
-I am dilated 1 measly little cm.
-50% effaced.
-Baby's head is not engaged in my pelvis yet.
-My due date gets tossed around. They say March 6th and March 8th. Either my birthday, or Whitney's birthday :)
-And to be fair to the guessers, I should tell you that the Doc said today he doesn't think she's coming early, but feel free to send positive vibes out there with your guesses.
-I am perfectly comfortable. Sure, I'm somewhat achey and such. But I have it very easy, so besides the fact that I'm dying to meet my girl, I'm ok with the minimal progress so far.
-We'll be back at the doctor on Friday.

That should be all the info you need! I am getting very anxious. I want to hold my baby and see what she looks like. 2 weeks has never felt so long. But I am just trying to be so grateful for the pleasant pregnancy I've had.

Ok- hahaa- I have no idea what I was thinking- but I read your earlier post and it said something about you being 36 weeks, and for some reason in my head 36 weeks was like full term! I have no idea why I was thinking that?! and I was like- "what the heck is she doing partying? and having baby showers? she's due NOW!" Seriously jenni, ever since I had maddie, I've lost atleast 50% of my brain. ha- you are so close!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you! And can't wait to hear all your adventures as a new mommy! It's been really fun to read steph's and hear all the same things we're going through. And you won't be that far behind us. love you!- oh and you look fabulous!

OHHHHmygosh! I can't even believe that it's SO soon! You are so lucky to have had such a smooth pregnancy girl! Sending positive vibes your way!!!!! I'll post my guesses on FB! LOVES!

Emily said...

So happy you're feeling good still! Keep that baby girl in there as long as possible...but a little early is always nice. I haven't even thought about guesses, it's so hard!

I say March 7th.
7 lbs 12 oz.
19 1/2 inches

What do I win? I'm really wondering how far apart our babies are going to be. Mine will probably have a good pound and a half on yours, ha ha. You look so tiny to me for being full term. LUCKY!

Love you, I'm so excited!!!

Jenni, you look AH-MAZING!!! Dang, you don't even look swollen like a little bit! So FABS! Okay, my guess for the little nugget is:

March 6 somewhere around the midnight hour
8 lbs solid
19.5 inches

I cannot WAIT to see her! SUCH an exciting tme, so much anticipation, so much ANXIETY (for me at least!) Do I have everything I need? I will NEVER not be a mother after this child comes out, am I ready??? Will she eat well, will she be a good sleeper? Will I know what to do when...

sooo much to think about, but let me tell you, you'll know more than you think, your experience and instinct will be your very best tools, you will be SUCH a great mom!!!

C'mon baby girl, don't make us wait too long!!!

Love the picture, you look amazing and bigger, I think she will gain quite a bit in these last few days. I don't know it is so hard to say. I'm feeling comfortable now that she won't come before my flight, so exciting.

It is going to be so totally fun to see how close she is to our Rogers baby in weight, arrival and all. Love you!
See you real soon.

Okay, my guess is March 7th and she will be 8lbs 1oz and 20 inches long.

Your stats look just like mine did when I was at your stage and he was born right in between the two due dates we had (the 5th and the 7th).

Try your hardest to get as much sleep as possible in these next few weeks. I know people always say it but I didn't really believe it until our little boy turned my world upside down.

Let me know if you need anything!

Mal said...

Look at that belly! So cute! Well, you keep saying that she's a little wiggle worm and so was Enzo.

Plus he measured right on target for his due date, but was born nearly 2 weeks early anyway. So..

March 3rd
7 lbs
20 in

Can't wait! We're so excited for you!

Amy McFarlane said...

march 13, 7 lbs 4 oz, 18 1/2 inches long :) i hope that she comes sooner though for your sake! you must be going crazy wanting to hold her! i should make her a high school musical something something...

Megan and Greg said...

Glad all is well. You look spectacular.

Emily said...

Everyone is being so nice to you, guessing these low weights, ha ha ha. You forgot to tell them that big babies run in your family! I really think your baby will be small though, because you are so tiny!

I'd be interested to see the guesses that people give my baby. 9.5, 9.2, 9.12, lol.

Aimee said...

Oh Jenni, I'm so excited for you!! Baby Harlow is so lucky to have you and Michael for her mom and dad!!

Good luck!!!
