Weight, Weight -- please tell me



A little contest: guess the weight and delivery day.

We are due to have a baby girl on Aug. 20.

How much do you think she'll weigh and what day do you think she'll be delivered?

Some background: Linsey weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces when born in 1982. Stephen weighed 8 pounds 13 ounces when born in 1981. Furthermore, Linsey was born on her due date; Stephen was born 10 days after his due date, and after a 36-hour labor (sorry about that mom).

Here it goes:

Linsey's official guess: she'll push out an 8-pound, 1-ounce baby Aug. 26.

Stephen's official guess: the baby girl will weigh 8 pounds, 6 ounces and her birthday date will forever be Aug. 22.

Alright.... good luck. The winner gets a chunk of The Girl's umbilical cord.

Before even looking at your guesses, I was thinking (hoping) that the due date would be August 22, so I wouldn't miss it and that she would weigh 8 pounds 1 ounce. Can that be my guess too?

My guess is 7 pounds 12 ounces born on the 21st.
p.s. If I do win, will you guys pay for the cord bank?

Sorry Linsey but I'm guessing 8/28 like her Grandma. As far as weight, I'll assume this is like Price is Right and you can't go over - sooooo let go 7' 4"

Linsey - Does that make up for the date?

Keep the cord.

My guess August 25, 8lbs 5ozs. Although I would love to share my birthday with my granddaughter eight days pass the due date is just to long.

Forget the cord idea!

Hank said the baby will be a girl.

He also said she will be born on August 21st.

She will weigh 7lb's 1oz.

If Hank wins, he also wants the placenta. He has a delicious recipe for it.

I think you should concern with a expert gym master or a specialist in Doctor who can give you right way. I think website translation will help you. Just try once and get the result.
