Friday

A CONTEST: The baby chick says.... Guess the gender and weight!

CONGRATS TO OUR WINNER: FIONA!!!!


EDITED:
Due to the reschedule of the C-Section (moved from Wednesday 4/30 to Saturday 5/3) , Dates will not be counted in the awarding of the winning prediction!


OK peeps - time to start guessing how big this little baby chick is and if it will be a gordita or a gordito.

I have 5 more days 'till the scheduled C (and today I am actually kicking around the idea of asking Dr. M on Monday if we can try induction first. You know I am his favorite patient, don't you just know it?! Did I mention he asked me last week if I'd like him to go ahead and tie my tubes? Do you think maybe he's trying to avoid having me as a pregnant patient again?)

So anyway - I thought it would be fun to have a little contest!



As some of you know, my lovely friend Carrie owns a very hip T-Shirt Company and she sells T-Shirts and Onesies for babies and toddlers featuring sweet and sassy little baby chicks inspired by the Spanish Lullaby "Los Pollitos Dicen."

Abby and Nathan have both done some modeling for Los Pollitos (see the above "commercial" on youtube!) so I thought "what better prize to give away for whomever guesses the gender / weight / arrival time correctly!"

So here's your chance - In the comments section, start your predictions!

Rules:

Guess the following things:

GENDER
WEIGHT
ARRIVAL DAY*

(*The date is just for grins... I'm putting this in there in hopes that lots of folks guess a date prior to Wednesday! Maybe reading all those predictions will send my brain some kind of signal that will send me into labor!)

PS - If you are someone I don't know just by first name and you don't have a blogger profile - be sure to give me some contact info for you in case you are the winner!!!

To aid you in your guesses, THIS POST has some pictures of my previous pregnant belly and a couple of current belly pictures for comparison. And my previous 2 babies weighed 9.7 and 9.9 but both of them were WEEKS late. This one will be a week EARLY. Also another hint: During my biophysical profile today, the weight was estimated to be quite a bit lower than those 2 previous pregnancies!

Happy guessing and good luck!


Whoever comes the closest (Without going OVER as far as weight is concerned) will win an item of their choice from the Los Pollitos Dicen Store! (And if you don't have a child to give one of these to, they make fabulous baby gifts!)

And BY THE WAY! If you can't possibly wait a few more days to try and win one of these so very cute items, Carrie and lots of my other mamafriends will be selling their wares tomorrow in Franklin at the Mamamade Spring Market!

I am guessing BOY, 7 lbs, 13 oz, and April 29th. I am going with a smaller weight since you said you have not gained as much weight this time and the baby's estimated weight is smaller according to the ultrasound. :-)
