Baby Predictions!

10/16 Update: Had a little bit of a scare over the weekend. We were rear-ended and though the damage to our (new) car was pretty unsubstantial, the impact was hard enough to dislodge Hampton's car seat and send he and Marin to the hospital in an ambulance for precautionary reasons. Hampton was checked out and is fine, but Marin had to be monitored for 24 hours and was having contractions that were as close at 2minutes apart. Though they were considered "minor" contractions, they were worried that the impact could cause the placenta to become detached from the uterus. The good news is that everything looks great! The baby is healthy and we're still waiting!!!
--------------------------------

We did this for Hampton and had a great level of participation. Are you ready to guess the gender, arrival date and weight for Baby #2?!

The winner will be the person who selected the right gender and then closest to the date and, for tie breakers, the weight. Papa Knight (Ron) is providing the prize. No telling what that will be. Aunt Lauren won last time!

Here is what we can tell you.

  • Marin's due date is 10/23
  • We were at the doctor's office on 9/30 and there was "no progress"
  • At 26 weeks the doctor did some measurements and told Marin that our child was in the 100th percentile (about 3 lbs)

Interesting facts about Hampton. Hampton was 10 days late and weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces.
