Guess the WEIGHT-and-DATE for Baby Bogert's arrival!!



First of all, Happy New Year! Happy 2011! This is going to be a GREAT year!

**It's time now for the Guess-the-weight-and-date game!! It's not so much a game as just something fun to bide the time until Colby decides to enter our lives! **

(thanks to mommynature for the image)

Here are some facts before you guess:

1) Statistics show that first babies are born on or after the due date, especially boys, who like to "hang out" a little longer
2) Having said that, there has always been a discrepancy in our due date. Jan. 12th seems the most accurate and was the due date for quite a while, yet Jan. 20th has remained the official one (according to medical records) (and due dates are rarely changed in late pregnancy even if they should be).
3) At birth, Matt was 11 lbs 1oz. (but he was 5 weeks past the due date). Statistically, had be been born on his due date, he would have been 9-9.5 lbs.
4) At birth (and around due date) - Bre was 7lbs.8oz. (average size for babies)
5) At our last ultrasound (36 weeks) - Colby was measuring 7lbs4oz (+/- 1lb for error). (I am 37/38 weeks now).
6) Babies gain 8oz (1/2 lb) a week from now until delivery. Some babies more.
7) Average weight for baby boys in the U.S. in the 2000's is: 7.5lbs (7lbs.8oz)


So---now that 2011 has arrived and there are 19 days left until Colby's OFFICIAL due date, let the guessing begin!
