a little pumpkin or a little sucker?

I thought it might be fun to have a little contest.....leave a comment and let us know your guess for this baby, who will be arriving shortly.  Leave your guess for gender, weight and length (and if you are daring, when you think it might arrive).  All of you blog-stalkers that I know are looking, but not commenting,  now is your chance to speak up! 
The latest news is that I am HUGE, ready to POP (and yes, my arms are totally chubby, I hate this picture).  I am dilated to a ONE (that's it???) and having some irregular contractions.   I am hoping for a baby any day, but the reality is that it could be a week or two still.

ok, 1st of all, your arms don't look chubby at all to me...now for the money shot: baby boy will be born sometime on Thurs. Oct. 30 weighing 7 lbs. 9 oz. and will be 18 in. long....do we win a prize if we're right?

Jen said...

I will send a prize if someone guesses correctly!

Kristen said...

I agree with your brother, your arms DO NOT look chubby :) I am guessing (dont hate me for this) Knowing your luck, a halloween baby, 7 lbs, 8 oz, 19 inches long...and......a........boy :)
Cant wait to hear!!

Aspen said...

You do look ready to pop! But you are all straight out and tummy honey! My guesses are: Friday Oct. 24th, 8 lbs. 4 oz, 19 1/2 inches long, and a . . . girl (to be different).

Fancy Nancy said...

Jen, I think it's a girl! I will say November 1st, 21 inches long and 8lbs. 2oz. I really think I am right!!! Don't disappoint me now... I am so glad you let us guess, it really is so exciting!

Fancy Nancy said...

Oh, and a very sucessful VBAC! With an awesome recovery!

Alisha B. Whitman said...

A girl. Nobody else has said 20 in, so I will. And just under 8 lbs. on Oct 28th. Good luck!

Nicholle said...

My guess is for the 29th! I think you are gonna have a boy...cause I like boys! He will weigh 8 lbs 3 ounces and he will be 19 inches long! Lets see I think you will name him...hmmm! Guess, we will let you name him! Good Luck Jen! We'll be thinking about hopin...and prayin for you!

Jaide says boy, October 28th, 19.4" 6 1/2 lbs.

cryssal said...

Since i already know the name is either Crystal or Crystalpher, I won't guess the name. I will say on Grandma Bonnie's birthday and 8 lbs even (that is what Jaide weighed) and 21 1/4" I feel like my sex guess has been skewed from knowing what you "think" and what I want. I will say girl and you can name her Crystal Bonnie since she will be born on your mom's bday.

Raina said...

hispanic male, 4' 6". approx. 115lb. Last seen wearing a grey shirt, black pants, and a stocking cap. :D

Raina said...

ok... 7 lbs 12 oz. 21 inches long. born on Oct. 25th. Hopefully early so you have a good day recovery and so you can get your sleep the next night!
Much love and luck to you!!! We want M&M to play and relieve you from all that will be happening.

Phoebe said...

Hmmmm, I secretly hope for a Halloween baby because that would be fun. So I am going to go for it.

31 October
Boy
8 lbs, 6 oz
21.5 inches (long, I know, but you and Jon are tall)

And a fabulous delivery to boot!

Funny I typed Boy, I really have been thinking Girl this whole time.

Reba said...

Oct 27th, 7 lbs 7 oz, 17 inches. His first word will be Reba!

Vixie said...

There aren't many guessing a girl, so I will try that and I think she will be born on October 28th, and she will weigh 8 lbs, 2 oz and be 19 inches long. Good luck with the VBAC, if successful, it certainly is a much easier recovery!! Good luck

Ok, I really wish I had been as witty as Raina's comment. That is too hilarious. But, I digress...it is simply a guess with no humor. So......MY guess is that:
Little man will be born on October 31 after Halloween puts you into labor. And, with all the moving HE has done in your tummy...he'll come out with a Beckham jersey and already know like 16 soccer drills. And, he'll also be ten times cuter than Beckham because he's a Van Wag!

j and k said...

By the way...you're insane. Not chubby...pregnant and insane to think so!

Mel said...

I love that you are doing this - it is so exciting! Here is my prediction:

Oct 30th
Boy
8 lbs 2 oz
20.5 in

Good luck!

Erin said...

Tell Jon to skip young mens, this baby is coming:
Wednesday, October 29
7 lbs 11 oz.
21 inches long
baby boy, or girl?...boy! Can't hardly wait!

Erin said...

btw - your tummy is nowhere near the size of mine. You look terrific!

Erin said...

I meant while I was prego. I'll shut up now.

Betsy said...

Jen...I keep checking DAILY for some news for you. I know how miserable it is to be overdue! my vote is for Sunday, 10/26...a boy at 8 lb, 4 oz who will be 20 inches long.

And Erin...I'm glad you clarified you were speaking of WHEN you were prego. I was getting all excited for a minute!

grandma bonnie said...

I think a baby boy , 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 22" long born on Halloween night name "Boo" So eat all the candy you can possibly get down! Can't wait!! You are all baby sweetie!!

grandma bonnie said...

Dad said..
Since your Mom's birthday is today, don't make any plans for later this evening.... Boy..7lbs. 14oz. 20 1/2".
We will be expecting a call from Jon ( also telling what our prize is). How about a healthy Mom and baby!

Mandy said...

Okay, I am just barely catching up on my blog-reading. . . don't think I'm cheating for guessing late!

I'm gonna go with 9 lbs 2 oz, a boy and October 30th.

Mandy said...

Oh, and 21 inches.
