38 weeks

So here I am at 38 weeks. Only 2 weeks left to go. Hopefully. On my last doctor's appointment, she warned me that she thought that this was not going to be a small baby. When she was examining my belly, she said "Wow, that is solid baby in there!". So hopefully that does not translate into her deciding to arrive early. Although on the other hand, I hope she doesn't get too much bigger; I'm not thrilled about the idea of delivering an 18lb infant.



As d-day approaches, Kevin and I have been thinking a lot lately about what Lillie looks like, and when exactly she will decide to grace us with her presence. Will she have daddy's blue eyes, or mommy's green? Blond hair like both of us had when we were young? Bona fide genius or just exceptionally gifted?

We thought it might be fun to guess some of her stats and then see who was closest.

Nicole's guesses:
10/13/2008, 12:23pm
8lbs, 9oz.
20 inches
Blond hair, blue eyes

Kevin's guesses:
10/12/2008, 5:30 pm
8lbs, 5oz.
22 inches
Brown hair, blue eyes

What do you think?
Leave your guess in the comments and we'll see who's right!

9 lbs even, 20 inches, black hair, newborn blue eyes which will stay blue, not turn brown, and her skin will hold just a touch of olive, just a hint! Hands down, she'll be a knock-out. Hang on, daddy; she's gonna be a heartbreaker :o)

....besides, how can she NOT be gorgeous. Take a look at her collective (5) GGP (Grandparent Gene Pool!) - oh, yeah :-D

Well, I of course am biased...but, I think Lillie will be born on October 13th...because that's a fabulous day to be born ;)
Especially around 9:10 am.
I think she will be 20in long with blonde hair and blue eyes. She'll have wonderful dimples....lookout world...here she comes!!

Lillie will be born on 10/14, 6:53 pm, weighing in at 8lbs. 13 oz. and 21 inches long. She will have almost no hair and whatever color babies are born with but will turn blue. Her hair will be blond when it grows in and get darker by mid teens. She will have her grandfather's athletic ability and love for anything made of wood. She will be intuitively wise no matter her IQ. Grammy Sandy says she will be beautiful, smart, funny and compassionate, just like her mom.

Grammy Sandy is the "anonymous" posting. She maybe getting on in years and unable to blog correctly.
She meant to say 8lbs. 2oz., 22 inches long. Lillie will be fashionably late and be born on 10/18 at 7:20pm. She will have blue eyes and blond hair and will be loved by everyone.
