Anyone Want to Guess???

January 16, 2010 in Lana's Journal with 59 Comments

Any guesses as to when Dave will open the bottle of Hope? I will be 37 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I’m 3cms dilated. My official due date is February 7th.

If you want to take a stab at size, go ahead. Lauren was born at 39 weeks, 5 days. She was 6 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 inches long.

    Hi Lana, January 28 11:45pm If I am right what do I win :o ) I thougt about making it a little earlier but figure that is a good time since you will have a night nurse for Carmen and Dave gets to pace the halls for a few hours in anticipation. God bless. In Christ, Joe

    Hmmm… January 20th or 21st. I bet Hope will also be in the 6 pound range, and 21 inches long. :)
    Constantly keeping all of you in prayer… Love, Christina

    I’m going to say Feb 8th, though I know that’s kind of a long way away. It would just be too funny if she actually ended up being later than her due date. How are your contractions now that the terbutaline (sp.)has stopped??

    I will guess Jan 26th, she will be 6lbs (although I have a feeling she will be in the high 5 lbs) and 20 inches long.

    Full moon is January 30, so I am going with that – - although it is a VERY busy weekend for us – - – I am still going with that – - and she will be 6 lbs even – - how is that for a guess???

    Also – - it is about time you got something up on this site :D :D you haven’t written since last Monday and that makes us all think you might be on your way to the hospital – - -

      Just want to add – - since you deliver so quickly, I have to account for the fact that as we get close to the pull of the full moon, you may go the night before – - so I will leave January 29 as my backup date – - :D

        Dave has two business trips to Chicago coming up so he is hoping the baby will come late…

          Lana thinks February 14th is her real due date (she keeps track of that kind of stuff). It’s also the day of love, which fits nicely with hope (and faith).

          Besides, Hope’s middle name will be AnnLove so that would fit in nicely as well.

          BTW, just kidding about her middle name. It’s not that.

    My stepfather is turning 80 on Thursday! He looks/acts 70 IMO – and he feels very blessed to have such wonderful life. My neice has the same birthday – she is turning 22.

    Somy guess is as follows:
    Thursday, January 21, 11:30am, 7 lbs, 1 ounce.

    Wishing you a Happy Labor Day!
