Make your predictions!

Want to take a guess on Daniel's birth date/time, measurements, hair and eye color?  Click here to go to our free baby pool.  No money on it, no prize for the winner, this is just for fun.  We're looking forward to seeing the guesses we get.

A few pieces of information that might inform your guesses (or not):

- My official due date is July 17.
- At my prenatal checkups the midwife measures how high the fundus (top of the uterus) is and I've been consistently pretty much right on target, not measuring bigger or smaller than expected.
- As of my last appointment, June 24, no dilation yet.
- I was born 6 days late (sorry Mom!), weighed 7 lb 12 oz. and was 21 inches long.- Boys on average tend to be bigger at birth than girls, and 3 sonograms said we're definitely having a boy.

- Kevin was born 4 days late, weighed 7lb 4oz and was 20 inches long.

- We do not plan to induce labor if we go past the due date unless there is a medical reason to do so.
- I have blonde hair and blue eyes.
- Kevin has dark blond/light brown hair and green eyes.

So far, with 12 votes in, the consensus seems to be that he will make Hotel Utero and extended stay hotel, staying an extra 2-6 days.  Average length prediction is about 20.5 inches, average weight is a healthy 8.21 lbs, though that average is skewed by one guess of 11.5 lbs!  Either Cynthia comes from a family of VERY big babies, made a typo, or has it in for me! ;)  Needless to say I'm hoping that estimate is very high.  I can't even roll a bowling ball that weighs that much!

Majority opinion is Daniel will take after Mommy with blond hair and blue eyes, with a few votes for bald head (if the old wives' tales about how lots of acid reflux=full head of hair hold true, this kid will look like Cousin It though!) and a few for brown hair.  Hazel eyes also picked up a few votes.  I'd bet that his eyes may turn green/hazel by his first birthday but I'm pretty sure they'll be blue at birth.  We'll see though...hopefully soon!
